    Follow the steps at the end, this is pretty creepy!

    1) New York City has 11 letters

    2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

    3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
    Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

    4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

    This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

    1) New York is the 11th state.

    2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
    11.

    3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

    4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
    6+5 = 11

    5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

    6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
    9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

    Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

    1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

    2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.
    Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

    3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

    4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
    incident.

    Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:



    Now this is where things get totally eerie:

    The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
    holy book:
    "For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. he wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."

    That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

    Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

    Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

    1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
    plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

    2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

    3. Change the font size to 48.

    4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

    One of those emails you pasted? :) I'm scared now. *runs*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ


    Yawn...

    Crap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    Ive come across this before. Some of it is true but the rest of it is just made up out of thin air.

    Q33NY was not the flight or tail number of either of the planes that were crashed into the World Trade Center that day, the rectangular shapes represent pieces of paper with writing on them, not buildings, and the terrorist attacks were neither perpetrated by nor targeted against Jews.

    EDIT: I came across this and decided to add it. The italics are comments from some political commentator's website in the USA

    Enjoy
    Wasted Time

    Now, this is the latest incarnation of something that has been floating around the Net since half an hour after plane struck tower. Thus far I've stayed pretty quiet, and have been content to let people waste their time if they choose. However, I have once again stumbled across it, and I am in an analytical mood at the moment.

    I'm going to take this section by section. My responses will be in italics


    1) New York City has 11 letters

    2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

    3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

    4) George W Bush has 11 letters.


    Ok, let's start with the fact that Ramsin Yuseb does not exist. Yep, he is fiction. I just Googled his name, and the only thing that came up was 9 pages of various versions of this thing (in about 12 different languages). No CNN reports, not even Wikipedia's entry on him. Nada. It is a nonsense name that happens to sound Arabic and has 11 letters in it.
    This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:


    1) New York is the 11th state.

    2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.

    3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

    4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
    6+5 = 11

    5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

    6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
    911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

    7) The Twin Towers resembles the number 11.

    The buildings resembled 11? so what? Is there some widely understood significance to the number 11 that I have just managed to miss in the several decades I've been living on this planet?

    Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

    1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
    254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

    2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4
    = 11.

    3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

    4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
    incident.

    Now this is where things get totally eerie:

    The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
    the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
    holy book:

    "For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
    The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
    while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
    the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
    peace."

    That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.


    Koran...spell it with me: K-O-R-A-N. Or if you prefer to get fancy, Qur'an. But either way, this is inaccurate. Also, this "quotation" is frankly anything but. It does not exist in the Koran or anywhere else that I've found outside of this meme and an urban legends web site. And just for information's sake, here is a translation of the actual verse 11 from book nine:

    "But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand."

    Just seemed appropriate, no?


    Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel
    afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

    wait. was someone trying to convince me of something? All I know so far is that New York was the 11th state to ratify the Constitution, and that 9 plus 2 equals 11. Was there a point here?

    Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

    1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
    plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.


    I thought we decided that the first plane was flight number 11. Are we talking about call letters, by any chance? And even if that is what we are talking about, this feels a lot like Ramsin Yuseb again...

    2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

    3. Change the font size to 48.

    4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

    What do you think now?!!


    Oh! I know this one! ISRAEL is responsible for 9/11... or maybe that by taking out the World Trade Center Osama bin Ladin set in motion a chain of events that is going to lead to the destruction of the Israeli state...wow, let me tell you how very impressed I am. It must have taken Bin Ladin quite a while to run the call letters for every plane leaving Logan airport through Wingdings before he found one that could take out Israel. I am curious what the other three planes were for, however, and what their call letters represent. I mean, we should have the complete prophesy, shouldn't we?[/I]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    ive seen parts of this before, the latter i remember a thread being made about on a different board, but that wasnt the flight number at all, makes you wonder how many other so-called facts are made up to suit the purpose of hte writer.

    Not really. Numbers are everywhere and it's easy to bend them into patterns when taking abstract views of them.

    What about......

    Flight 77
    Madrid
    Pentagon
    Twin Towers
    America

    It's just picking what suits, and working with what it can.

    Like, oh but wait, Madrid is in Spain. Madrid,Spain. ZOMG THAT'S 11 LETTERS!!

    True facts:

    Every box of Captain Birdseye fish fingers contains eleven fingers.

    When Captain Birdseye was 11 he converted to Islam. That's why he's got a beard now.

    Fish have 11 gills.

    The Japanese had 11 fighter planes in Pearl Harbour and their sole intention was to wipe out the fish farms in Pearl Harbour that the Americans were cultivating.

    Fish are responsible for 11% of the world's inventions. This is why we call fish "brain food".

    When Harvey Smith penned his famous two finger salute - he was actually signalling to the waiter to give him eleven fish to eat.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology

    Its funny actually, 11 is one of some "master numbers" in numerology that are "considered higher vibrations of their digit-summed counterparts and very highly charged".

    John Nash was into numerology for a while, but he was schizophrenic and not taking his medication at the time.

    These things are laughable though. They appeal to the want-to-believe crowd rather than the people who actually think about things.

    Hi, America.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    hello, boneyarsebogman. this is america.
    please note that all calls are now monitered for key words such as "bomb", "terror(ist, ism)", "islam", "beard", "hussein", "bin laden", "qu'ran"! and, most importantly, "eleven".
    should our monitoring stations pick up any of these words during your call, we reserve the right to take you from your country (regardless of the existence of an extradition treaty) and take you to our facility at guantanamo bay, where you will be held without trial for an undetermined length of time.
    thank you for your call and we hope to see you soon.

    Look I can cut and paste too, only difference is I google for facts...

    Source:http://www.snopes.com/rumors/coincidence.asp

    Origins: In December 2005, this compilation e-mail that combined three earlier pieces about eerie coincidences relating to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America began appearing in our incoming mail, often prefaced by the forwarders as "Seriously spooky!," "Kind of freaky," "Weirding me out," and the like.

    We've written about each of its three elements before, but since a number of folks will have their first encounter with any of the claims being advanced via exposure to this omnibus e-mail, we've gathered information about each into this one central
    article.

    While it would appear there were a seemingly unusual number of elevens arising from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America, it must be kept in mind that it is but human nature to search for patterns even where none exist. We attempt to impose a gestalt on randomness because chaos is impossible to comprehend, hence our fascination with recurrent themes. We feel something of great import is going on if a particular number comes up time and again, and we are unsettled by it.

    Our article about the many elevens supposedly connected with the 9/11 attacks explains that it is not at all unusual for clumps of the same number to appear at any given moment. Those bothered by all the elevens might consider that the number of letters in "Washington," "World Trade Center" and "Twin Towers" don't add up to eleven.
    Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
    The last name of the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing has been transliterated from Arabic in a number of ways, including Yousef, Yusuf, and Youssef; his first name is generally rendered as 'Ramzi'; and officials believe his birth name was actually Abdul Basit Karim. Only by selecting particular combinations of these transliterated names (such as "Ramsin Yuseb" or "Ramsi Yousef") does one arrive at an 11-letter result.

    The compilation e-mail also claims that "The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident," which wasn't the case in that the Madrid bombing took place 912 days after the 9/11 attacks. However, it would be fair to say 911 days separated the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. and the March 11, 2004, train bombings in Madrid, Spain. We provide a far more detailed explanation in our article about this numerical oddity.

    Regarding the purported Quran verse about the awakening of a fearsome eagle, our piece on that subject explains there is no such entry in that holy book, let alone one occuring in Chapter 9, Verse 11.

    As we note in our article about the result produced by rendering "Q33 NY" in Microsoft's Wingdings font, there was no flight "Q33NY" involved in the terrorist attack on New York City — the two flights used to assault the Twin Towers were American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175.

    What was it then? Ok so there is no video of a plane hitting it, but if there was no witnesses to NY or video would you not believe that either, a plane full of fuel disingrates on impact. I doubt you expect the a jet engine had to be cleared off 42nd street, by a pickup truck

    Why don't they release the videos from the petrol station and hotel then... and why, in the only video they did release, you can't see a plane...

    What was it like to see
    The face of your own stability
    Suddenly look away
    Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?

    Eleven and she was gone.
    Eleven is when we waved good-bye.
    Eleven is standing still,
    Waiting for me to free him
    By coming home.

    Moving me with a sound.
    Opening me within a gesture.
    Drawing me down and in,
    Showing me where it all began,
    Eleven.

    It took so long to realize that
    You hold the light thats been leading me back home.

    Under a dead ohio sky,
    Eleven has been and will be waiting,
    Defending his light,
    And wondering...
    Where the hell have I been?
    Sleeping, lost, and numb.
    So glad that I have found you.
    I am wide awake and heading home.

    Hold your light,
    Eleven.
    Lead me through each gentle step by step
    By inch by loaded memory.

    Ill move to heal
    As soon as pain allows so we can
    Reunite and both move on together.

    Hold your light,
    Eleven. lead me through each gentle step by step
    By inch by loaded memory
    till one and one are one, eleven,
    So glow, child, glow.

    Im heading back home.

    Riddle me this Batman....if it wasn't a plane where did the 4th plane that was hijacked mysteriously disappear to??

    I think it is highly insulting to the memory of the people aboard American Airlines Flight 77 to announce that it never hit the Pentagon. Maybe they are actually the ones on the island in Lost??

    No, he said he held up 9 fingers then 2 fingers so he never said he had 11 fingers. The thing that worries me is that he has NINE fingers. Most folks have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. Perhaps he was born near selllafield (OMG there's 11 letters in selllafield.... ok so I had to add an l but it's still spooky)

    is anyone else here getting some strange sensations around their cockles after reading this?

    i for one am never going to do anything involving 11 again!

    as for numerology, im not surprised 11 was a sepcial number.
    i mean, its made up of 2 ones, and you can do pretty much anything with a 1, except turn off a light bulb (sorry, old physics joke)
