Wikipedia fails to mention 9-11 *Vanity*

Posted on 09/11/2008 3:15:24 PM PDT by Tzimisce

Wikipedia doesn't bother to mention the terrorist attack 7 years ago on its "It happened today" page.


TOPICS: Reference
KEYWORDS: 7thanniversary; wikipedia
But are any of us surprised?

Of course they don’t mention it. Don’t want to upset the mooselimbs.

From Wikipedia, on September 11th:

The terms September 11th, 11th September, 11 September, and 9/11 (pronounced "Nine-eleven") have been widely used in the Western media as a shorthand for the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon in the United States of America.

Again, Wikipedia:

2001 - Coordinated attacks result in the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York City, destruction of the western portion of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and an unplanned passenger airliner crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which happened after airplane passengers fought back on the plane. In total, 2,974 people are killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

But you're correct: no mention of the Muslims who perpetrated the assault.

If you scroll down a bit you'll see a special section on the page with photo and a link to GWB’s speech.

Featured article is United Airlines Flight 93.

Featured picture:

Direct link to "September 11, 2001 – Statement by the President in his Address to the Nation" under it.

Yes there could be more, but the wikipedia front page is not silent on this day.

Because they only list a few on the main page, and start with year 1297, you have to click the link to see more....

It is listed.

2001 - Coordinated attacks result in the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York City, destruction of the western portion of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and an unplanned passenger airliner crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which happened after airplane passengers fought back on the plane.

Silly observation...I am getting so tired of freepers making mountains of ant hills.

Bring on the debates. Keep FR credible, advance us.

No need to protest, get outraged. etc. until then. (unless it involves the anti war crowd)

The Presidential candidates are set in stone...one is making major mistakes...the other is not.

If we play into the little petty minutia we will ruin it.

Let the left sink themselves with no help from us the next 2 months. Let talk radio take over, let the polls take over...

It would also help us to refrain now and focus on 2010 house and senate elections.

There is really nothing more a freeper can do to sink Obama’s ship.

What we can do is make FR more credible. What we can do is support John McCain and Sarah Palin.

What we can't do is sink into the bs. We will loose any credibility.

THINK PEOPLE BEFORE YOU POST!

Support McCain Palin right now and forget about the Obama Mess.

Actually it is there in the "On this day" section, but you have to click on Sept. 11 to go to the next page where it is, and it ain't much.

There is a "featured article" on the front page, but apparently only on the English version.

Google doesn’t have one of their special graphics either, but they had one for the French doomsday machine.

Where did you even find the page "it happened today"?
I don't see it on their main page.

Today's[Sept 11, 2008] featured article
"United Airlines Flight 93 was a scheduled U.S. domestic passenger flight from Newark International Airport, in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport. It was hijacked in 2001 by four men as part of the September 11 attacks. Over 40 minutes into the flight the hijackers breached the cockpit, overpowered the pilots and took over control of the aircraft, diverting it toward Washington, D.C. Several passengers and crew members made telephone calls aboard the flight and learned about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As a result, the passengers decided to mount an assault against the hijackers and wrest control of the aircraft. The plane crashed in a field just outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 150 miles (240 km) northwest of Washington, D.C., killing all 44 people aboard, including the hijackers. The plane fragmented upon impact, leaving a crater, and some debris was blown miles from the crash site. The remains of everyone on board the aircraft were later identified. Subsequent analysis of the flight recorders revealed how the actions taken by the passengers prevented the aircraft from reaching either the White House or United States Capitol. A permanent memorial is planned for construction on the crash site. The chosen design has been the subject of criticism and is scheduled to be dedicated in 2011. (more...)"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
September 11 attacks

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by Islamic extremists belonging to the al-Qaeda movement upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.[1][2]

Why didn't you provide a direct link to the page you're referring to? Even if you don't know how to post working links, you could have simply copied and pasted the url.

I went to the site in 2006 during a FReep against Murtha, it is moving. The place looks like a reclaimed strip mine.

Race has a lot of photos, post them please.
