9/11 - the Conspiracy
The Conspiracy: 9/11

The day of September 11th, 2001 the world witnessed with disbelief as the World Trade Center in New York City came crashing down. The shock the attacks generated and the some 3,000 or more people it killed made it one of the brutal attacks in history. One may only wonder how such a grand scaled attack could be carried through. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the September 11th attacks in 2001 were an inside job and the statements of the Bush administration following them were a fabricated truth that many people believed. Unfortunately the tragic event has scarred the lives of many people globally and changed the course of the near future.[1]

On the morning of September 11th, 2001 President Bush was taking his daily jog near his residence meanwhile a meeting was being held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington where Shafig bin Laden was also attending. A short time later at 8:13 am the American Airline flight 11 got hijacked by the five Al Qaeda agents. While President Bush was on his way to an elementary school the north tower of the World Trade Center had been hit by flight 11. By 9 o’clock according to Mr. Barlett, White House communications director, President Bush had been informed. As he entered the classroom United flight 175, also got hijacked by Al Qaeda, and collided into the second tower.[2]

As the airplanes crashed one by one into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon footage revealed that the Pentagon crash may not have been a plane. Even if it was an airplane how come the air squadron’s near the White House scramble to shoot the plane down before it could hit the pentagon. Fine, even if the fighters were not assembled the question remains is that how did the novice pilot manage to crash into the building straight without damaging any of the surroundings such as the lawn. Not too much of the debris of the aircraft is visible clearly not the engines and wings which also did not have any supposed effect

    There are many 9/11 Conspiracy Theories. Sophists trust that the world trade center buildings were decimated by boms, phone calls from the planes were concocted and that President George W. Bush, behind closed doors, profited from the attacks. Abounding numbers of people hypothesize that the Twin Towers were blown down with explosives in selected locations. Some spectators racall hearing explosions wihtin the building as they attempted to escape.…

    Another prominent conspiracy is that the collapse of the Twin Towers and the 7 World Trade Center were the result of a controlled destruction than a structural failure due to the fire and impact. In reality, the Twin Towers collapsed as a result of being struck by two jet airliners. However, that explanation hasn’t persuaded conspiracy theorists. The collapse of the Twin Towers destroyed the rest of the complex, and the debris from the collapsing towers severely damaged the surrounding structures and buildings. Later on that day, the 7 World Trade Center collapsed from the fires that had started when the North Tower collapsed. Following the attacks, the building performance study team, or BPS, found that the aircraft impacts caused extensive structural damage, including localized collapse and that the resulting fires furthered weakened the steel beam structures which lead to the collapse.…

    At 9:45 a.m. a third American Airlines plane crashed directly into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Less than 15 minutes later, the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed due to the heat of the burning jet fuel. Then, about a half hour later, the north tower collapsed. There also was a fourth plane that was delayed. Due to the delay, passengers learned that hijackers were aboard and fought them, causing the plane to crash…

    The September 11 attacks were a series of suicide attacks by Al-Qaeda upon the United States. On the morning of the attacks 19 of Al-Qaeda’s terrorists hijacked four jet airliners. The hijackers then crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and many of those who were working in the buildings. Both of the buildings collapsed within two hours of the collisions. Because of the collapse nearby buildings were damaged, even destroyed. The hijackers crashed the third airplane into the Pentagon which is located in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane was crashed into a field near Shanksville in Pennsylvania after some of its passengers attempted to retake control of the plane. Unfortunately…

    I think that 9/11 could definitely be an “inside job” and this is why. First point is why and the world would all this happen after the country loses an insane amount of money. You don’t just lose 2.3 Trillion dollars especially being America the big bad country. I think that someone was blackmailing us with information soldiers something along those lines and gave it to someone. Obviously if everyone found out about this money the country would be upset people would be fired and everyone would go crazy so why not hide it. Second reason is why were no high government officials in the building when it collapsed. Did they all go out to lunch or have a dentist appointment. Third how in the world does an amazingly strong technologically advanced building just collapse. I can see the top part falling over like a tree but you don't cut down a tree from a side like a lumberjack and the whole tree fall down destroying the stump. That's just not how gravity works the part of the building above where the plane hit did not have the inertia to take out the tallest and strongest skyscraper in the country. Also if you watch the videos in the collapse it goes outwards in a very strange way. Also a window 20 stories down just blew out for no reason none of the others did. I guess that's enough of my…

    9/11 Conspiracy Theorists

    • 1198 Words
    • 4 Pages

    As with all events in history, there will be at least one, sometimes several, naysayers in the crowd and the events of September 11th 2001 are no exception. The United States Government presented the facts to the world but some just couldn't grasp it. The incident raised questions in everyone's mind, specifically how could this happen? President Bush was quick to state that Osama bin Laden and his ultra radical Islamist followers overpowered the crew on four airliners, then used them as missiles, crashing them into the Pentagon, World Trade Center and Pennsylvania farm land. But some believe the U.S. Government played a part in 9/11, to the where they may have even orchestrated it from its beginnings. The general goal of a conspiracy theorist is to show the world not to take everything said in the media or by the government at face value. Though a little skepticism is good, there's a point in which it's beyond healthy. In the case of 9/11, these theorists are simply those who enjoy getting television and radio airtime, no matter the cause, expense or implausible conjecture.…

Immediately after the attacks on the World Trade Centres North and South, many conspiracy theories surfaced about what actually happened on that tragic day.

    Da Final on 9/11

    On September 11, 2001 our country was struck by a series of devastating, and remember able terrorist attacks. Many remember seeing devastating images and video, of some of our beloved country’s most prized landmarks being destroyed and crashed into by hijacked commercial airlines. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda took away lives, security, and pride from our country that day, and things have never been the same since. This brings up a very controversial issue that has been addressed by a college student named Dylan Avery and a few of his friends who created a movie called “loose change” which addressed many 9/11 conspiracies. Three of the main conspiracies addressed are, the US Air Force was ordered to “stand down” on 9/11, or allow these attacks to happen, the impact of the plains could not have been enough to knock down both 110 story towers so explosives must have been detonated in the buildings at the same time of the impacts, and finally the use of “squibs” or controlled explosives, suggesting that the damage caused by the planes wasn’t all that caused the towers to collapse. There are no 9/11 conspiracies that can’t and haven’t already been debunked. Some believe that these attacks were thought out , and planned by our government in accordance with Osama Bin Laden and his group of terrorists know as Al Qaeda. On the other hand there are the “debunkers,” people who have disproved 9/11 conspiracies by reenacting, and researching the happenings of that day.…

    The role of the American government has always been to protect its people at all costs. Does that include lying to its people or covering up an event? And if they are doing such a thing, are they protecting their people or themselves? Conspiracy theorists constantly create alternative theories to what we are told to believe; some are completely outrageous, but for some theories, it is difficult to deny that there is possibly some amount of truth to them. As crazy as it might sound at first, many believe the government has covered up events ranging from the attack on 9/11 and the assassination of JFK, to the creation of LSD and HIV. Some theories are ridiculous and can be disproved in a heartbeat. Some theories are plausible and could possibly…

    There is also no concrete video evidence that any aircraft hit the pentagon. The one video camera on the scene that was actually trained on the site of the crash was a time lapse camera that flipped from a blurry shot of the beginning of something incoming to a full-blown explosion. 9/11 investigators have argued that without a direct image of an airplane in the security footage, it can't be proven that what hit the Pentagon was actually a plane. They back up this claim by saying that there was…

    9/11 Conspiracy Theories

    • 986 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The theory differs from person to person, but this is the most popular one. The government set up explosives in one of the towers and that’s what caused the fall of the towers. Whether planes were involved is a matter not agreed on. Truthers say that the evidence for this view is that the tower couldn’t have fallen so quickly. They also say that there are explosive “squibs” that can be seen going off in the buildings. Research has been done on this theory by professionals, engineers and others, who oppose this belief and have looked at this issue, and have gathered evidence against it. The conflicting group says the reason the building fell down at its speed is because of a process known as pancaking, or professionally called progressive collapse. The studies of the people led them to believe that there was an initial localized failure around the impact zone of the plane and that was likely what led to the progressive collapse. Further studies by a person known as Doctor Seffen have led the person to believe that their calculations of the building would take around nine seconds for the buildings to fall down. At the University of Cambridge, they say it was “a fair assumption in terms of how the building fell.” How the building fell and how fast was not the only thing they looked at. The group looked at the evidence of…
