    It makes no ****ing sense. Why put the month before the day?

    because that is the way Americans generally say it. September the 11th. 9/11.

    We generally say the 11th of September. The other usage has crept in, at least in the wordy form, but Americans never say the English way.

    As for the reasons the arabs picked 9/11. it was a Tuesday. The day with least traffic for that week ( the week before Tuesday was after the bank holiday Labour day).

    They were reasy to go, they looked up flights on Travelocity ( which show the number of people already booked on the plane) and picked a day with less people on the plane as it would have meant easier control.

    Now if they hadnt flown low enough to allow people to talk on mobiles their plan would have been perfect. MWhaaaaahaaahaha.

    Probably the day with the cheapest flights.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭Sofaspud


    Could they not have waited until 0118999881999119725-3?

    That would have been so much cooler!

    They had pilates on 9/12.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,150 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    in our terms, it was 11/9. wait a second.

    11 - 9 = 2

    The twin towers were 2 buildings in total..

    each tower had 110 floors..

    10 -1 = 9 :eek::eek::eek:

    110 is 11

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!

    If there was any justice it'd be called 11/9. I hate the way the yanks put the month before the day.

    It makes no ****ing sense. Why put the month before the day?:mad:
    It helps to sort out your files in "my documents" if you store them in yyyymmdd format :p

    Dunno what there on about to be honest.

    The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

    September 11 has 9 letters and 2 numbers: 9+2=11.

    September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11

    The President of the USA - George W. Bush - 11 letters.

    The US Secretary of State - Colin Powell - 11 letters.

    New York City - 11 letters.

    Flight AA11 had 92 people on board - 9 + 2 = 11

    The WTC Twin Towers - standing side by side, look like the number 11

    Manhattan Island was discovered on Sept. 11, 1609 by Henry Hudson =11 letters

    Flight 77(The plane that hit the Pentagon) 65 people on board ,6 + 5 = 11

    George W. Bush's Air Force One is numbered "29000" on the tail - 2+9+0+0+0 = 11

    Ect...........................................

    If people look for a pattern they'll find it... Don't really think they choose that date because of 911... just picked a date when they were "ready"
    New York City - 11 Letters

    It could have happened on any of the other 364 days in the year. Its just too mad and too unbelievavble to be a coincidence. I know in Ireland and England its 11/9 but the terrorists would of known in America it would of been 9/11 in the US so dont give me that!:rolleyes:
    Remember in 2006 when there was 06/06/06..Imagine that day the aliens landed or a big meteorite hit the earth. Its too bizarre to be a coincidence:confused:

    Yeah, except 9/11 occurs once a year, 6/6/06 occurs once a century.

    I like how the 9/11 + 7/7 conspiracyloons seem to not actually believe there are such a thing as right-wing fundamentalist islamists, and that 'the state' carries out these actions as 'false flag ops' for a New World Order. :rolleyes: times a million to be honest.

    They take away from real politics, are a jokeshop, and damaging to 'the left' by attempting to get in the way of the many, many valid reasons to politically attack the nation states in which the attacks happened (not least economic reasons), and indeed the religious nuts who carried out the attacks.

    Why do it on 9/11? Who gives a fu<k why they did it on the day they did it. Seriously.

    Maybe it was protest at the break-up of the boy band.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,729 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Americans didn't plan anything, George Bush's advisers planned the whole thing.
    Like that insurance claim that was put on the towers very shortly before they were blown up... Insured for about double what they were worth I think.

    Also, before you guys say it:
    Conspiracy theorist, wanker, shut up, blah blah blah, ect...

    Yawn! Do you have any idea how ridiculous it sounds to hear that a former president was responsibile for the massacre of hundreds for the sake of money? Don't believe everything Michael Moore tells you.

    Well he was willing to massacre hundreds of thousands of afghanis and iraqis for it .....

    frankly i'm amazed that,in the age of google,people are still willing to accept the official story about 9/11.
    but then that's the matrix for you.
    consideration of the facts surrounding that day ,not the conjecture or speculation (my mossad post is speculation,the norad post is fact) would shatter most peoples illusions as to the identities of the perpetrators.

    Oh, another group of nuts believe that there is no way that President Obama is not a Muslim, and he was certainly born in Kenya ( despite the short form birth cert, and the annoucement in the papers in Hawwaii etc.). Why? It is all on the internet.

    What bugs me about this lunacy is this. There was a real conspiracy to get the US into a war with Iraq (once 9/11 had already happened), a funnelling of bad information from Douglas Feith's office to the President, ignoring the CIA etc.

    That's true. The very existance of that conspiracy, however ( which is clearly complicated) removes the need for the 9/11 conspiracy since the event clearly didnt point to Iraq, but to where the terrorists came from - Saudi Arabia. That makes no sense if it was foreplanned to go to war with Iraq. They shouda "duped" 19 Iraqqis.

    Anyway, the troofers are morons. But its like whacking a mole.

    Yeah cos in the "age of google" the people who "really" committed the twin tower attacks (I'm not saying that stupid backwards date) put all the proof on publically searchable websites? Silly boys.

    Whatever about the date, we have certainly lost all out freedoms and rights since this event occured.

    A

    and another fact is that 6 or 7 of those saudis are still alive to this day (having had passports stolen previous to the attacks) according to the bbc.

    An attack on American soil is something different though. Also I was fairly sure we were talking about George Bush Sr. unless I've heard wrongly from the conspiracy theorists.

    The fact you've mentioned 'Google' and 'facts' in the same sentence makes it impossible to take you seriously. What makes you think that the 'facts' you've found are any more credible than what the 'official story' is?

    Arab names are quite similar. What do you think that "proves" by the way. Is it

    1) The terrorists stole passports.
    2) The great global conspiracy to get America into war with Iraq stole passports, but could only get Saudi passports. Everything else went off swimmingly, however.

    EDIT: The insurance was doubled meme depends on a report that a guy called Larry SilverStein - who owned the site - was trying to get insurance to pay out for two attacks which would have given him 7 Billion, not 3 ( for one attack). As far as I can see he lost his case. So no actual change of policy in the days or months leading up to the attack, no link to the government, and merely a guy trying to get more money from insurance based on an existing wording in a policy.

    ok. take this fact,which i read on the front page of the new york times in october of that year, about the 5 dancing israelis and the subsequent arrest by police of another group of israelis by holland bridge.
    google it to see what i'm talking about because i no longer have the new york times from 2001 to show you were i came up with this fact.
