Path to 9/11, Part Two, Section 12

September 11. The hijackers board.

That bit where Atta is praying and it focuses on his eye echoes what they did with Ramzi Yousef at the beginning. I'm not sure what the symbolism is, but my subconscious is in thrall.

I watched a documentary on 9/11 and in one part a guy who was sitting at his desk in one of the trade centers said he seen flight 175 coming towards him and said it was green with a big U on the tail. Hmmm thats not what an american airlines plane looks like.

There is enough video footage of *United* 175 that *anyone* can tell you it wasn't green.

I missed the part of the movie where we shut the World Trade Center down for several days so top secret demolition experts could strategically place explosives in both towers and then conceal the explosives and detonation wires from the building tenants after they let them back in. Oh, and where were the people who detonated the explosives at the precise moment the planes hit the building? Just kidding of course. Couldn't help but poke fun of the moronic conspiracist.

Terrorists meet SATAN - will NEVER see GOD - they worship a false idol that does NOT even exist.

It's pretty sad how some people see conspiracy in everything. Popular Mechanics proved all the theories as false. Popular Mechanics. Ah the level of dumb, redneck, conspiracy believers that's out there is scary.

@TheTodd1977 There is no exact spelling of his name in our alphabet. Same with Osama/Usama, or Mohammed/Muhammad/Mohammad. They're transliterated from Arabic.

[TheTodd1977]

They spelled Atta wrong.

This is talked a lot about in Gary Schroen's book "First In: An Insider's Account of How the CIA Spearheaded the War on Terror in Afghanistan" It's an AWESOME book and probably the most in-depth, declassified account of CIA operations as of yet.

[TheTodd1977]

BlueReckless do you have the part when Atta and al-Shehhi meet Osama??

Cheers!

@JBAmadeus

Should we justify murder and global terrorism because of atrocities commited 1,000 years ago?

[MaddDogg81]

So back then apparently you could have knives 4 inches and under on planes ?

Then the box cutters and knives wouldn't have set off warnings then. miscommunication really fucked this up too

[MaddDogg81]

wtf theres only 5% state tax? I hate my province has 12%

[JBAmadeus]

We nowadays think of Muslims as terrorists, but not all Muslims are. Muslims are actually very nice people. It's the extremists from the Middle East who practice Jihad Islam and all that religious political bullshit that are the terrorists. In fact, go back a thousand years and Christians are the terrorists, invading the Holy Land and killing thousands of innocent Muslims and Jews in the horrible Crusades.

[TheTodd1977]

Good performance as Atta however he never smiled... not once.
