Aviation Impossibilities: Deconstructing the Official Story of the 9/11 Hijackings and Air Defense Failures
Aviation Impossibilities: Deconstructing the Official Story of the 9/11 Hijackings and Air Defense F ^ | 9/8/2024 | https://ic911.org/

Posted on 09/10/2024 5:15:19 AM PDT by Pikachu_Dad

In early 2024, the International Center for 9/11 Justice (IC911) embarked on the first stage of an in-depth study into what took place in the skies on September 11, 2001.

On September 8, 2024, IC911 and UK Column held an online symposium where we commemorated the 23rd anniversary of that day and shared IC911’s research to date. The symposium evaluated three key claims of the US government’s account:

That the alleged 9/11 hijackers could so smoothly and successfully commandeer all four airliners; That the alleged hijacker pilots could successfully fly three of the aircraft into their intended targets; That US air defenses failed to intercept the hijacked planes due to communication breakdowns and bad luck. IC911 Research Director Dr. Piers Robinson introduced the four-hour livestream event. Captain Dan Hanley, a pilot of 35 years and founder of 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers, then spoke about the importance of getting the world to understand that Muslim terrorists did not fly the planes on 9/11. Following their remarks, there were four presentations.

Program Note: The livestream begins at the 4:50 mark.

Opening Remarks By Dr. Piers Robinson, IC911 Research Director 4:50 – 14:50

Who is Lt Col David W. Gapp USAF (Ret)

Reported his You Tube post, for misinformation. You can do the same. It takes ten seconds.

Why is he lying?

The towers came down. Lots of people died.

Those are facts that cannot be disputed by any sane person.

The hijackers were muslim terrorists. I am 99% confident of that.

I really don’t need any more information to know who was at fault and what needed to be done.

Iraq was not on that list on 9/11/01. We should have stuck with the task at hand. Things would be much better in this world has we done that.

I don’t because of work. I did watch the 5 minute video.

The gist if it... The CIA paid Boeing to basically make the jets drones that were flow by CIA operatives from a remote site. Motive was to tarnish the Bush administration.

Well said. Thank you for that post.

One additional point you can make with this argument is that we have extensive Life Safety Codes with respect to the fire proofing of steel to increase the length of time the structure can survive a fire without collapse.

So ‘Dr Piers Robinson’ is the instigator behind this attack.

They have a site called “UK Column”

This seems to be the root source of a lot of the 9/11 misinformation out there.

If they would have listened to James Wood they could have prevented it from happening.

0:46 Lt Col David W. Gapp USAF refers to 8 pilots ‘voluntarily’ giving up control.

My understanding was that the cockpit doors were open. The terrorists stormed in, used their box cutters to take out the pilots before they were aware of the take over. Then the hijacker pilot comes up to fly the plane.

There was no ‘voluntary’ action by most of the pilots.

What is wrong with Gapp?

At 4:46 Gapp claims the hijackers could not use the navigation. Since he knows nothing about the hijackers actual level of training, this is a bold claim.

At 3:43 Gapp claims the hijacker pilots would not be able to fly the planes at high speed. I just saw a video of a 5 year old boy driving a race car at 325 km/hr ! Gapp is full of it.

At 5:00 Gapp claims that it would be difficult to hit the Twin towers. That is an absurd claim. He claims that professional pilots in simulators only have a 1 in 3 chance of doing so. That is also a total rubbish claim.

At 5:17 Gapp claims it is impossible for a pilot to descend a plane and hit the Pentagon. He attacks the government for making this claim. But we all make this claim, not just the government. He is overblowing the difficulty in flying and aiming planes.

At 5:44 he claims defense systems were not used. Including intercept planes...

At 6:52 Gapp attacks the response to the Crash investigation. He tries to make it sound like the Flight data recorders were not recovered.

Before admitting that several were recovered.

Very strange phrasing. He is intending to deceive.

Wooden boards do not penetrate metal light poles, either.

Until they do.

First up: Captain Dan Hanley 10:48 “Informing the World There Were No Muslim Hijackers on 9/11”

11:29 Hanley claims he could not have flown the flight profiles and neither could the hijackers. Claims 300,000 pilots in the world who would agree with this ridiculous claim. Claims that none of them had the opportunity to testify before the 9/11 commission

12:23. Hanley states he made 911Pilots.org. He is ‘director and public spokes person’.

Hanley claims that 1.9 billion muslims who have been persecuted the last 23 years. That their religion has been demonized. He want’s to clear the muslim reputation.

Hanley want’s to claim that the planes were remotely controlled by ‘uninterruptible autopilot’. Hanley claims that once this system is engaged the pilot can no longer disengage it.

Hanley does not state his religion !

We can read the idiot Captain Hanley speech here:

Hanley admits the ‘autonomous control system’ was not patented until years later, but claims it was operational on 9/11.

What a load of crap.

Next up: Ted Walter 24:32 The 9/11 Hijacking Myth Exposed: Examining the Official Story Against the History of Suicide Hijacking Attempts and the Content of the 9/11 Phone Calls

Ooo, he has spent all of 6 months on it.

What does the history of suicide hijacking attempts to have to do with anything?

He says there are 4 key claims:
1. A set of hijackers hijacked all these airplanes.
2. They navigated their way to their targets and flew them into their targets.
3. US air defenses failed to stop them.
4. That 3 buildings in Manhatten collapsed.

So the ‘movement’ has not spent time looking at the hijacking claim.

He claims the story can be refuted by examining the phone calls. (at least this one is not denying the phone calls)

28:48 “the phone calls can be leveraged”... WOAH.

What an evil person he is.

What twisted logic he has...

Since they are going to demolish the towers, the demolishers cannot rely on these 19 inexperienced hijackers, so they need to make sure the hijackers can reach their targets. So therefore he assumes that these men could not have hijacked the planes.

But he is going to put aside his (false) assumption and ‘try to make the case based on the phone calls’

33:25 Talking about External Indications of Takeover
AA11: Not much. Just stopped communicating
UA93: 600 foot descent, return to cruise 2 minutes later.
two radio transmission 32 seconds apart indicating violent struggle.

34:45: Idiot is ‘skeptical’
35:53: Idiot claims the two ‘may day’ calls could have come from ‘anywhere’. Idiot criticized the pilots choice of words.

Idiot claims ‘they (the transmissions) the official story basically commits itself to a violent struggle taking place in the cockpit during the minute of 928’

WOAH ! This man is exceedingly twisted.

38:48 Idiot is making a ‘big deal’ that the passengers that made the phone calls were originally in the front of the plane but they call from the back.

41:24 Ted Walter doing his best to explain away the hijacker radio broadcasts. Sigh. Walter is a total moron.

43:59 Ted Walter is now addressing the four teams of hijackers and talking down their capabilities. Only ‘three hijackers’ left for muscle. What a maroon.

47:55 Idiot is upset that the unidentified male flight attendant on UA175 did not describe how both pilots were killed. He just stated that both pilots were DEAD. He is upset that the other callers did not repeat this information.

Hmmm, perhaps that is how the 9/11 commission ascertained that there were VIOLENT COCKPIT STRUGGLES ! THE FRIGGING PILOTS ARE DEAD.

- Todd Beamer on UA93 says the pilots were pulled from the cockpit and lying on the floor.

The idiot is going out of his well out of his way to poo poo and deny all of the evidence.

1:02 Just more of the same from the idiot . He points out that most of the pilots were former military and were ‘strong’.

Idiot is also going over the strength of the passengers. Sigh.

1:10 Idiot is upset that the callers did not describe how the hijackers entered the cockpit. he is upset that they did not describe how the hijackers overpowered the pilots (something the would not have been able to see).

Idiot calls the phone calls the ‘nail in the coffin’

Idiot is upset many of the callers were ‘calm’.

Idiot mentions a passenger who was stabbed. Yet even that is not enough for him. He is straining at gnats to complain that the passengers did not complain about the ‘cockpit struggles’.

1:14 Describing the Thomas Burnett call to his wife on UA93.

1:15 Sandra Bradshaw flight attendant call on UA93

1:19 Mark Bingham call on UA93

Fast forwarding through this morons complete crap.

He is still griping about what they said and reported. Does he ever have a point?

1:45 The idiots conclusion: “The dissemination of false evidence meant to support the implausible hijacking story allows us to conclude it is aslo false.”

Thanks ransomnote.

WTC needed extensive asbestos remediation, at a cost of at least $200M. The The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was owner of WTC since it's inception - tried several times unsuccessfully to get permits to demolish the buildings for liability reasons. Projected cost to disassemble the WTC: $15B. By 2001 it had a below average tenancy rate (some estimates say 60%).

May 2001 article:

https://www.businessinsurance.com/port-loses-claim-for-asbestos-removal/

NEWARK-Asbestos abatement costs are not covered by an all-risks property policy unless an actual asbestos release or an imminent release leaves a property useless or uninhabitable, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Judge John W. Bissell earlier this month threw out the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey’s final claims in a longstanding suit against dozens of insurers over coverage of more than $600 million in asbestos abatement costs at the World Trade Center, New York’s three major airports and other Port Authority properties.

Granting summary judgment for the insurers in his May 1 ruling, Judge Bissell found among other things that the costs of removing asbestos do not constitute “physical loss or damage” triggering coverage under the Port Authority’s all-risk policies.

further...

In addition, Judge Bissell concluded that some Port Authority abatement work at the World Trade Center was motivated less by health concerns than by the desire to avert rent revenue losses linked to the presence of asbestos in office space.

“The express purpose of (a Port Authority abatement project) was to stem lost revenue resulting from a loss of new tenants who wished to rebuild office space to their desired specifications but who would not do so unless (asbestos-containing materials) were abated,” Judge Bissell found.

Enter Larry Silverstein, who closed his 99-year lease of WTC on July 24, 2001.

Silverstein immediately insured WTC for $3.5B with full coverage against "terrorist attacks." WTC 7 is also included in the insurance policy (he had already leased WTC 7 for 15 years)

6 Weeks Later - September 11th:

- Larry had breakfast every morning at 8:30am at the Windows on the World restaurant on top of the North Tower. The morning of the 11th he complains to his wife about his "skin" and decides to skip his routine breakfast and goes to the doctor

- Larry's daughter Lisa who was VP of Silverstein Properties attended meetings with tenants every morning on the 88th floor of the North Tower, usually punctual Lisa was running late on the morning of the 11th

- Roger Silverstein, Larry's son was also running late on the morning of the 11th. The whole family survived

- Silverstein Properties canceled meetings for the morning of the 11th the night before, fortunately, saving the lives of executives and publicist Rubenstein

- Larry immediately filed two insurance claims for the maximum amount of the policy, stating the two planes were two separate attacks. Larry wants $7 billion dollars for his loss

- Larry gets his initial deposit of $125 Million back

- Larry gets $861 Million for WTC 7 (initial investment of $386 Million)

- Larry gets $4.55 Billion for the Twin Towers

- Larry sues the airlines and security firms for $12.8 Billion in 2008. This settles in 2017 for $95.1M. The final payment would have totalled $97M, but was reduced when two of American and United's insurers become insolvent during the case.

- Silverstein is again suing the airlines whose planes flew into the towers for an extra $3.5 Billion in 2013. This lawsuit was denied in July 2013, but in 2015 the denial was reversed by a three-judge Second Circuit Court panel


The scope and scale of the planned malfeasance and criminality that led up to, and beyond - 9/11 is staggering.
