I don't know why conspiracy theories always have to be so complicated!

if the government was involved in ANY way, i would picture it like this:

"Mister President we have information about a planned Terrorist attack on the United States"

"Terrorist attack? Bombs huh? Well, i was looking for a excuse to wage war anyway, we stand down and let them do their thing and see what happens"

*WTC goes down*

WTF i didn't expect THAT!



haha,brilliant porcupine thats about as close to the truth as we'd get,as with everything its probably a bit of both watching the twin towers episode unfold live on telly is one the most amazing thing i've ever seen an incredible plan from some majorly pissed off nutters,the only thing i don't quite understand is how the planes were not shot down,you'd think the usa air foce would be on top of that


Apparently it just hadn't been planned for. A passenger plane hadn't been hijacked in something like 35 years in the USA before 9/11, they turned the electronics off that gave a signature on the radar (they could still be tracked, but were just one bleep among many) and the US defence system just didn't have any plan for the situation of a bunch of domestic flights being hijacked - all of their planning was focused on outside threats coming in.



yes,on the tv documentaries i'v seen the bit about the jet fighters being delayed for take off and the lack of the line of communications always seems strange to me,they blame it on incompetence and it is amazing a country like the usa with the kind of air traffic it has did not have plans for this,maybe they didn't want to blow two passengers planes out of the sky over new york,who knows but they were very slow to react when they new something was seriously wrong
