NORAD on 9/11: What was the U.S. military doing that day?

    No to mention that the timescale is 30 minutes after the plane went missing.

    The chain of command doesn't go "radar operator" to "president", not everyone has a "hotphone" to the president. It'll take more than a few minutes for the info to reach norad, pass up the chain of command to the whitehouse, to the presidents staff to the president.

    Also y'know if they had planned this and knew it was going to happen do you not think Bush's reaction could have been y'know, better? Roosevelt knew Pearl Habour was going to be attacked and drafted the day of infamy speech ahead of time. What was Bush's reaction? "We're going to get these folk" And then Piss off and hide for a day? If this was stagemanaged to evoke a state of fear, and at the same time stoke support for the president, why didn't they do a better job? He turned up on tv a day later and did a crap job.

    Are you really telling me then managed fake flying three passenger jets into three buildings, rigging up controlled explosions, and flying missles over the heads of commuters live on national tv, and then didn't have a plan what to do next? Or what do when it happened? Just stick Bush keeping reading my pet goat for fifteen or so minutes? Cop on.

    I never said they had complete control YET, but that is their ultimate aim.

    So they've got control of some of the media, not just all of it.

    Be a dear and tell us which ones, I mean you've been inside the looking glass for oh what a few weeks now? This is a pretty sh*tty conspiracy theory, they can fake three planes flying into buildings and dupe the world, but they can't control google?

    Exactly, so why is the official story full of inconsistencies and contradictions?

    Actually, they're kind of closed, but we're not talking of a few inches, we're talking about a few thousand miles here. Not every mile is covered, so people can, and will, get through.

    Kind of closed? They are completely wide open. What about the millions of Mexicans who have literally strolled across the border into the US?

    It is as if the US and UK have been inviting attacks, from as it turns out, a non-existant threat.
    This is despite their illegal detention and torture of innocent people, which looks like a desperate attempt to provoke muslims Worldwide.

    So your twisted logic is because they didn't do a perfect job, it means they couldn't have done it?

    Do you really think Bush decides what he does and says?

    Wake up to reality, he is just a puppet.

    They have control over the mainstream media which is where around 90% of people get their news, TV is incredibly powerful as we saw not just on 9/11, but also when JFK was taken out.

    The persistent myth is 'the war on terror', and their promise that if we give up our freedoms they will guarantee our protection from this unknown enemy, who lurk around every corner.

    Well, incontrovertibly, you and many other young soldiers were sent to invade and occupy Iraq under false pretenses of WMD's. Don't you think that has anything to do with oil/economics and Haliburton? If the real reason you and others are in Iraq is for oil and the stability of the western economy, then people are fighting, killing and dying for corporate profit margins effectively.

    It sounds better if the republicans call it 'freedom' though. ;)

    I could show you hundreds of pieces of evidence which on their own are suspicious, but if you put all the pieces together then there no doubt it was an inside job.

    Just look at any 9/11 video on the net which includes live footage at the time of reports of multiple explosions on the lower floors. A huge number of police and firefighters were among the witnesses interviewed.

    Just watch WTC 7 being demolished. The owner slipped up and even admitted they 'pulled it'. The towers themselves exploded instead of just collapsing as we were told. They fell at the rate of 10 FLOORS PER SECOND.

    I challenge anybody who believes the official story to present all your conclusive evidence right here, as the only evidence I've found to support the official story has been faith based.

    The only hard evidence we have that any arab hijackers were even on the planes is a passport that amazingly managed to survive the raging inferno that destoryed a 110 story building. :confused:

    To make him look like the idiot he is continually portrayed as. We all know how accident prone he is aswell thanks to the media. Why they do this is probably so people like you can claim that the plan wasn't perfect, or he is too stupid to come up with a plan for a new pearl harbour(9/11) which was used as a pretext for war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Have you not read the PNAC document?, whose founders just happen to include Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle.

    The document was produced in september 2000 and it includes the following chilling statement.

    "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor."

    Well they have to maintain the illusion of freedom, so by letting you put an X on a piece of paper every few years they make you think you are living in a free and democratic country. To keep up this illusion of freedom they have to create a problem first, for example in the case of videos on the net it could be internet child porn, wait for the people to cry 'what are you going to do about this?', and then they as usual will provide us with the solution, which in this case could well be the creation of internet 2.

    http://www.internet2.edu/

    The solution usually means making their job easier by giving them more power, and taking away some of our freedoms. They never try to tackle the root cause of the problem, as that would make sense, and society might actually move forward.

    That doesn't make a gram of sense. Why portray the leader of the free world as an idiot when you control the media? Why not protray him as a suave intelligent brilliant man. They control the media don't they? They planned 9/11? Why not have him on the ground hours after the "fake" plane attacks making a heroic speech and digging for survivors. Not have him arrive days after the bombings.

    If Rumsfield et all had planned this, why didn't they plan a better response from their president?

    Good description of "the official story" of 9/11.

    How can people keep ignoring all the overwhelming evidence?

    What about WTC 7?

    It is obviously a controlled demolition. We have all seen videos of them and it is the 1st thing that comes to mind when seeing the video. WTC7 housed offices for the CIA, FBI, NSA, Secret Service, SEC and Rudy Giuliani.

    The owner even admitted they decided to pull it.

    What about the numerous reports of multiple explosions on the lower levels of the twin towers?

    What about the multiple eyewitness accounts of explosions from extremely reliable sources like firefighters and police?

    What about the following evidence from an MIT engineer who describes in great detail how the official story is an impossiblity as it defies the laws of physics?

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1822764959599063248&q=wtc+7&pl=true

    What about the molten steel found in the basements of the towers 5 weeks later?

    http://www.4-freedom-privacy.com/articles/sonic-pulses-afp.html

    Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, N.Y., told AFP that he saw pools of "literally molten steel" at the World Trade Center.

    Tully was contracted after the Sept. 11 tragedy to re move the debris from the site. Tully called Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Md., for consultation about removing the debris. CDI calls itself "the innovator and global leader in the controlled demolition and implosion of structures." Loizeaux, who cleaned up the bombed Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, arrived at the WTC site two days later and wrote the clean-up plan for the entire operation. AFP asked Loizeaux about the report of molten steel on the site. "Yes," he said, "hot spots of molten steel in the basements." These incredibly hot areas were found "at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels," Loizeaux said. The molten steel was found "three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed," Loizeaux said. He said molten steel was also found at 7 WTC, which collapsed mysteriously in the late afternoon.

    Construction steel has an extremely high melting point of about 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Asked what could have caused such extreme heat, Tully said, "Think of the jet fuel." Loizeaux told AFP that the steel-melting fires were fueled by "paper, carpet and other combustibles packed down the elevator shafts by the tower floors as they 'pancaked' into the basement." However, some independent investigators dispute this claim, saying kerosene-based jet fuel, paper, or the other combustibles normally found in the towers, cannot generate the heat required to melt steel, especially in an oxygen-poor environment like a deep basement.

    This Tully lad is pleading with you to "think of the jet fuel" and don't forget their ridiculous pancake theory aswell. ;)

    Alternatively you can wake up to reality and stop ignoring all the overwhelming evidence.

    Accidental fires can, according to Wiki, hit temperatures above 2,000 Centigrade in the right conditions, both in forests and in cities.

    Should be enough to melt metal, methinks.

    Heaven forbid that I should question the use of a conspiracy video as evidence to support the conspiracy theory.

    Let's try a few more neutral source. For example the Oklahoma Dept of Health website indicates that the temperature in a common house fire can hit 1,100 Farenheit in under four minutes.
    http://www.health.state.ok.us/Program/injury/factsheets/house_fires.htm.

    That's four minutes, think it could get hotter in a half hour, fanned by a breeze?

    Or check out this experiment conducted in 1999 by the British.
    http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/project/research/structures/strucfire/CaseStudy/Timber/default.htm

    They recorded ambient temperatures in excess of 1,000 Centigrade, which gets us to about the 2000fahrenheit mark, and that was a disused building with no jet fuel involved.
    http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/project/research/structures/strucfire/CaseStudy/Timber/fig2.gif

    That's before you get to the temperatures of firestorms, which tend to be a bit rarer, but a lot hotter.

    It really isn't too far beyond the realms of possibility to get to a steel melting point in an uncontrolled fire.

    This "theory" has interested me ever since the event as I was in Manhatten that day and experienced the "real" terror and horror.

    Now, some parts of the official story are a bit weak....and there may have been some fabrication of the truth in order to apease the masses and make it look like nothing could be done about the whole thing. But the bottom line is this.......the government obviouslt dont want to say well, to be honest we were caught completely off guard and there was a lot more that we could have done.
    Anyway some questions about the theory.
    1. How many people do you think would have been involved in this whole conspiracy?
    From top to bottom......including the guys who planted the explosives in the WTC and surronding buildings, to the people who planned and executed the whole thing- including the "suicide bombers" since you are alluding to the fact that the guys who the authorities said were on the planes werent at all. ( Also how do you explain the planes crashing into the buildings and the crashed plane in Pennsylvania....were these remote controlled or which of the planners of the event said that they would fly them), and the scientist/experts who must have lied through their teeth to back up the official story....
    Or were all the people (at the bottom of the chain) who knew what really happened killed in the collapse?

    2. Dont you think that for an event this big one or more of these people would talk and provided inescapable proof that the whole thing was an "Inside Job"? Something this big cannot be controlled and executed by a few people at the top without a lot of help by far lesser paid people at the bottom who need the money and could do with selling a story or two..... ( to be honest this would be the same for most of these theorys)

    3.Are you saying that terrorists are a "myth"?
    Try telling that the relatives of the Madrid train bombings, the London Tube bombings and multiple attrocities carried out before and after september 11th. There is a very real threat out there and if you think there isnt you are very badly mistaken.

    4. If there are higher forces at work who deceide massive events like this and cause us mere mortals to be controlled how they want then I dont think its a few Yanks in suits that are doing it.


    Personally I believe everything I have been told (officially)related to September 11th. I believe more could have been done to prevent it but I do not believe that there was a consious effort by anyone in the US administration or otherwise who consciously caused or helped with the planning and execution of the attrocity.

    Talk about avoiding the issue. Face the facts.
    ...

    Most intelligent people have been questioning just how 4 ponderous airliners had free reign over the most protected airspace in the World.

    We are talking about fighter jets with top speeds in excess of 1500mph, yet they never even got close to any of the airliners.
    Those "ponderous" airliners are designed to cruise at Mach 0.9, ( 747's can cruise faster than the Harrier's top Horizontal speed. )

    The fighters can only PEAK at Mach 2 ( 2.5 for F15's ) by pouring vast quantities of fuel into the afterburner, and even then it's only when you have burned off a sizable % of the overall weight you get that fast. It's so uneconomical and uses so much fuel that B52's used water/methanol poured into the back of the engine instead of fuel for take off boost. Afterburner time is measured in minutes. Dan Brown doesn't realise that either. F104 starfighters had very short legs for this reason.

    Some planes have supercruise, but it would have given them range to catch up on the airliners, F-22 can get to 1.5 tops while using twich as much fuel as subsonic flight. But it wasn't opperational then.

    Kippy MM and Capt M I luv you. Saved me the hassle of saying all this myself.

    The above is an excellent point. To run into the world trade center and the pentagon and rig up those explosives would take what? Days? All night? How many hundred of people would you need? And why do it? Was it just that the flying of planes into skyscrapers wasn't enough? The sky scrappers had to come down as well? Why? And why bring down the WTC 7? What would be gained by that? You can link anything to the owner of the building. I own property, that doesn't make me an expert on aviation fuel, controlled demolishions etc....

    The Watergate conspiracy fell apart over two clumsy ex CIA agents in a hotel corridor. You're trying to tell me a complex plot involving three fake airlines planes being taken over, experts working for what must be days planting plastic explosives without anyone noticing in four massive buildings, the entirety of US NORAD and the presidents staff and no one noticed or said anything? You're saying this the week Libby fingered Bush?

    Oh and once again you're using google video. the NWO control "90%" of the worlds media? But Google is safe and can be trusted? Why?

    It really isn't too far beyond the realms of possibility to get to a steel melting point in an uncontrolled fire.

    So you're just ignoring the fact that before 9-11, and since, no other steel framed building has ever collapsed due to fire?

    The idea of controlled explosives seems a bit far fetched but I think there's definitely a lot more to what happened that day than what most people think.

    What I can't understand is why to the government felt that the threat of a terrorist attack on the airliners that day was so great that they put a ban on all government officials from flying but at the same time it tied up most of its airforce in war games.

    Go jump out a skyscraper. See if you don't fall at about 10 floors per second.

    My point is, we were told the upper floors pancaked down, so how could the towers have fallen at nearly freefall speed? why was there no resistence?
    Accidental fires can, according to Wiki, hit temperatures above 2,000 Centigrade in the right conditions, both in forests and in cities.

    Should be enough to melt metal, methinks.

    Are you trying to use a site that anybody can edit as some kind of proof?

    Thick black smoke is a strong sign of an oxygen starved fire, and this was clearly visible in both towers. We were led to believe the fires in the towers were raging infernos so how can people explain this picture?

    The official story is full of contradictions, inconsistencis and even worse blatant outright lies. They even changed their story about the lack of a response from any fighter jets more than once.

    If the official story is true then why did they wait till 431 days after the attacks to start the investigation? why did Bush and Cheney refuse to testify under oath? why did they fail to even mention WTC 7?
    But the bottom line is this.......the government obviouslt dont want to say well, to be honest we were caught completely off guard and there was a lot more that we could have done.

    So lieing about what happened that day was their only option?
    Anyway some questions about the theory.
    1. How many people do you think would have been involved in this whole conspiracy?
    From top to bottom......including the guys who planted the explosives in the WTC and surronding buildings, to the people who planned and executed the whole thing- including the "suicide bombers" since you are alluding to the fact that the guys who the authorities said were on the planes werent at all.

    Only a few people had to know the whole plan as the chain of command means that most people just do what they were told without questioning it. People that have a pretty good idea that they were unwitting accomplices are either keeping quiet to keep their job, to protect themselves and their family from harm, or for money. People who are talking aren't being taken seriously.
    Dont you think that for an event this big one or more of these people would talk and provided inescapable proof that the whole thing was an "Inside Job"? Something this big cannot be controlled and executed by a few people at the top without a lot of help by far lesser paid people at the bottom who need the money and could do with selling a story or two..... ( to be honest this would be the same for most of these theorys)

    Most US government agencies require people to take an oath of silence when they sign up. They are not called the secret service for nothing. Here we are more than 40 years on from JFK and still we don't know the full story, in this case you're living in dreamland if you think somebody who was involved in the mass murder of 3,000 innocent people is going to come out and put their hands up. The following is just another example of the truth being covered-up for decades.

    EVOLUTION IN EUROPE; Italy Discloses Its Web Of Cold War Guerrillas

    by Clyde Haberman

    The New York Times
    November 16, 1990

    In Europe's new order, they are the spies who never quite came in from the cold, foot soldiers in an underground guerrilla network with one stated mission: To fight an enemy that most Europeans believe no longer exists.
    The focus of the inquiry is a clandestine operation code-named Gladio, created decades ago to arm and train resistance fighters in case the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies invaded. All this week, there have been disclosures of similar organizations in virtually all Western European countries, including those that do not belong to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

    "I admire the fact that we have kept the secret for 45 years."
    3.Are you saying that terrorists are a "myth"?
    Try telling that the relatives of the Madrid train bombings, the London Tube bombings and multiple attrocities carried out before and after september 11th. There is a very real threat out there and if you think there isnt you are very badly mistaken.

    If you believe the war on terror is real then why are the borders of the US and UK left wide open?

    I have not looked into them in great detail, but there is evidence of the London bombings being an example of state-sponsored terrorism.

    The July 29 edition of FOX News Channel's Day Side programme revealed that the so called mastermind of the 7/7 London Bombings, Haroon Rashid Aswat, is a British Intelligence Asset. Former Justice Dept. prosecutor and Terror expert John Loftus revealed that the so called Al-Muhajiroun group, based in London had formed during the Kosovo crisis, during which Fundamentalist Muslim Leaders (Or what is now referred to as Al Qaeda) were recruited by MI6 to fight in Kosovo.

    The following is a picture of the Murrah building in Oklahoma after a supposedly massive truck bomb, yet there is no hole in the ground. There was also reports of multiple unexploded devices in the building which were shown on TV only once, just like most of the eyewitness accounts on 9/11.

    Personally I believe everything I have been told (officially)related to September 11th. I believe more could have been done to prevent it but I do not believe that there was a consious effort by anyone in the US administration or otherwise who consciously caused or helped with the planning and execution of the attrocity.

    That is madness, as despite overwhleming evidence that they lied numerous times you continue to have blind faith in their story?

    Those "ponderous" airliners are designed to cruise at Mach 0.9, ( 747's can cruise faster than the Harrier's top Horizontal speed. )

    The fighters can only PEAK at Mach 2 ( 2.5 for F15's ) by pouring vast quantities of fuel into the afterburner, and even then it's only when you have burned off a sizable % of the overall weight you get that fast. It's so uneconomical and uses so much fuel that B52's used water/methanol poured into the back of the engine instead of fuel for take off boost. Afterburner time is measured in minutes. Dan Brown doesn't realise that either. F104 starfighters had very short legs for this reason.

    Some planes have supercruise, but it would have given them range to catch up on the airliners, F-22 can get to 1.5 tops while using twich as much fuel as subsonic flight. But it wasn't opperational then.

    The F-15 fighters are scrambling to New York City. Later accounts concerning these fighters conflict significantly. According one account, pilot Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Duffy later recalls that they are in a hurry at this time: “we’ve been over the flight a thousand times in our minds and I don’t know what we could have done to get there any quicker.”

    I was in full-blower all the way.” [Aviation Week and Space Technology, 7/3/2002] Full-blower means the fighters are traveling at or near full speed. An F-15 can travel over 1,875 mph. [Air Force News, 8/30/1997] A considerable amount of fuel is required to maintain such high speeds for long, but a NORAD commander notes that, coincidentally, these fighters are stocked with extra fuel. [Aviation Week and Space Technology, 7/3/2002] Duffy later says, “As we’re climbing out, we go supersonic on the way, which is kind of nonstandard for us.” He says his target destination is over Kennedy airport in New York City. [ABC News, 10/11/2002] Similarly, another account states that, as the F-15s are taking off, “Duffy told his wingman they would fly supersonic.” According to Duffy, “When we took off I left it in full afterburner the whole time.” [Filson, 2004]

    “An F-15 departing from Otis can reach New York City in ten to twelve minutes, according to an Otis spokeswoman.”

    What was the US military doing on 9/11 day? Foxhunting! Can you picture them on horseback, in English saddles, with the hounds in the lead, baying?

    My point is, we were told the upper floors pancaked down, so how could the towers have fallen at nearly freefall speed? why was there no resistence?

    I believe that if you look at the video, you'll see that the part of the building above the crash site collapsed down onto the building beneath, which basically then just had the floors beneath give way. The resistance would be negligible in comparison, I went over the mathematics of it in a previous thread, I have no great desire to go over it again.
    Are you trying to use a site that anybody can edit as some kind of proof?

    It's convenient and according to recent investigation, as accurate as the Encyclopaedia Britannica on matters of scientific fact. It's only on the political side that things get shaky. However, I did subsequently reference two other non-editable sites.
    Thick black smoke is a strong sign of an oxygen starved fire, and this was clearly visible in both towers.

    You ever burn plastics or rubber? Both are items which burn fairly well, and produce black smoke. Both are also quite likely to be found in airplanes and office blocks.
    We were led to believe the fires in the towers were raging infernos so how can people explain this picture?

    What way was the wind blowing that day, vs the side of impact? Fires travel in the direction of the wind, and things get kindof breezy when you get to 70 stories up. Blazing inferno is quite possible on the far side of the load-bearing core.
