    Where was I? Like most people I was at work enjoying me lunch. Worked in Dun laoghaire at the time.

    6 months earlier i paid $12 for a coke in the observation floor, i remember thinking "you fly with crows, you're gonna get shot!!...................too soon?

    conspiracy? only in the mind of an RTARD

    Additional Question, would you rather it didn't happen?

    Would have been a good story if it was €11 dollars. It wasn't. Too soon:o

    Did you read the NIST report? You know, the one that took 3 years and 16 million dollars to produce? Or are you basing all your opinions on spurious nonsense created by basement-dwelling conspiracy theorists with severe paranoid delusions? (A purely rhetorical question, you understand)

    Well if you read it you would know that in the report they state
    "Even without the structural damage, WTC 7 would have collapsed from fires."

    But surely you must know this ...you reading the whole report and all

    And to put the cost of investigating the biggest terrorist attack in perspective

    Jesse Venture made an excellent point in this video stating that we should question what we are told about 9/11.



    Like it or not, there's a lot of things about that day that simply do not make sense and things that we will never fully understand. I'm not going to go into those, because they've been discussed countless times and this post isn't about conspiracy theories - it's to say that we should absolutely question everything that happened.

    As for where I was, I was in 3rd year I think. Remember coming home from school, popping on Sky News and seeing that. The following year, there was a photo exhibition in the the Eyre Square shopping centre in Galway, some of which depicted 9/11; the buildings on fire, collapsing, and those poor, poor jumpers. I sat near there for a while, watching - it amazed me the people that stopped to look at them; young and old, native and foreign, various races, and it was then that I realized how much what happened touched people.

    I do find it strange the black boxs were never found and that to this day we have no video of the plane hitting the pentagon, a plane hit it why cant we see it. I hate they way you cant question a few odd things that happened that day without being called a crackpot.

    It's not that uncommon that they don't get recovered after major incidents. They're small and not indestructible, and they were involved in a pretty major explosion over quite a large area.

    The U.S. tend to be very wary about releasing photos and footage of high security areas. Hell, you'd probably get arrested if you took your own photos of the pentagon from those locations so they're hardly just going to then release video from their security cameras.

    Not to mention the whole issue with United Airlines Flight 93. A lot about that simply does not make any sense.

    Not my proudest moment ill admit

    I think why towers collapsed is best summed up from a victim above the impact zone http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1eSVsid7eKE&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1eSVsid7eKE

    I think we should wait until Jim Corr is returned from the mother ship before making our minds up. He hasn't been abducted solely for his musicality ability. The aliens must have greater plans for him.

    I thought it was very uncommon myself not to find the black boxes, didnt they even recover one from 2 miles under the sea after 2 years, i take your point about the pentagon but why not release the videos from the motorway or the hotel and gas station that were nearby and their videos were taken by the FBI. Plus didnt we see the side of the pentagon burning for hours on every news station so why not show a plane flying into the same side.

    Office fire? Did you call the resulting inferno of a plane full of fuel hitting a building an office fire? The buildings didn't fall at free fall speed either, you can clearly see bits of steel and rubble falling faster than the buildings in videos and photos. The stupidity of your post actually makes my head hurt

    Quite ironic considering I was clearly talking about WTC7 and not the towers struck by planes.

    What would be the point of the US doing it?

    The main theory would be to invade Afghanistan and achieve this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Afghanistan_Pipeline. Invade Iraq mainly to establish a military base in the middle east, and for oil reserves.

    I don't currently believe that, but would mainly like to see an independent report which can explain the circumstances around WTC7 and Flight 93. But as you're coming across as such a priick, don't bother responding, I couldn't be arsed getting into a namecalling argument. If reading such stupidity is making a person's 'head hurt', I really can't see why they're clicking into this thread and posting repeatedly.

    Yet the passport of one of the terrorists was found just minutes after the crash. Not saying that means anything in particular, but it does seem like something that'd be a one in a million chance.

    Your post is riðiculous.

    That has to be the biggest suspension of disbelief for me. Are we really expected to believe that a passport that just so happened to belong to one of the terrorists survived the crash, the explosion, and the fall?

    Even in a movie, that would be labelled as ridiculous.

    Those that can't, teach. Those that can't teach, administrate.

    The fact is that on other threads we slag off Americans for being stupid. 1000's of American administrators f'ed-up on 9/11 and the many days before. They were all "yellow-packers". No conspiracy just human(american) error...

    ca. 1,000 instances occur in a life every day. Therefore once every 3 years, on average, a million to on occurence will occur...

    Maths, money and human stupidity will answer all conspiracies.

    > 9/11 anniversary, where were you when it happened and was it a conspiracy?

    If you ask this question this time next year you will be getting answers like this:

    > I was at work when the news broke. Hardly a conspiracy, in fact it should have happenend rigth after the Euros.

    It is nearly hard to think of a world where it was foiled.

    Like, if they had acted on all intelligence and caught these guys at the airport with knives and enough evidence to lock them up for the next thousand years would they still have went ahead with the wars? Would we remember this 12 year old trial? If the 1993 WTC attackers had carried out the plot according to plan, the original plot design saw one tower collapsing into the other and killing a six figure amount of people, only they underestimated the strength of the building compared to the amount of explosive they detonated.

    Surely something equally as big would have happened had AQ been allowed to stay active in Afghanistan?

    Was the day before my Junior Cert results.

    As for the conspiracy I can only come to the same conclusion as South Park.
    It was a bunch of pissed off muslims.

    Interestingly enough four of the hijacker's passports were recovered, 3 of them from crash sites.


    If 9/11 was a false-flag op it'd be a bit wild to believe the US government would actually plant the passports at the crash sites as some sort of last minute convincer :P.

    An interesting and compelling perspective that we should all, at least, think about on this day.

    Had a half day from work so basically watched the whole thing unfold on Sky News.

    I don't think the whole thing was a conspiracy but the whole WTC 7 thing is very murky.

    Trying to get in contact with a friend who was in the World Trade Center at the time of the attack, on behalf of her mother. And organizing a blood drive for the local hospital designated to handle the overflow of victims from the attacks in NYC.

    Sorry to inform you but you're 12 years too late:confused:

    I was 14, in school, my dad picked me up after school and was amazed that I had no idea what had went on aka that the teachers never said anything :rolleyes::)

    Hard to believe? Read the below. Worms from an experiment on the space shuttle Columbia were found alive after it blew up 40 miles above the planet. Not so hard to believe they might find a passport after that
