That the alleged 9/11 hijackers could so smoothly and successfully commandeer all four airliners;
Recall, if you will, that up to this time, aircrew were taught not to resist high-jackers. They were to cooperate to allow authorities to negotiate their release.
Its pointless...
One loon I know claimed it was thermite that brought the buildings down..
since when has thermite ever been used to bring down buildings?
Then I asked..how is it that the point of collapsed of the towers just happened to be at the impact point of the jets?
Never have gotten an answer. But they persist. It amazing the pride people have. Wont EVER admit to being wrong.
Take for instance another person I know. Siad a documentary she watched claimed Elivs is alive and she believed it. I said this documentary was fiction. IT was a “mocumentary” FAKE. I showed her the IMDB entry stating such. Still wont accept that she was wrong. AMAZING. The first conspiracy guy I mentioned then said my referring to IMDB is a “appeal to authority”... I then asked him who in authority told him the Bible is true and why do you accept that “appeal to authority”?
*Sigh*
I’ve grown old of these clowns... I was in lower Manhattan on 9/11 and saw both towers collapse. I had to walk from Battery Park to Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge, in the roadway, to get on a LIRR train to go home.
I took a quick look at the site and they’ve already lost me at “complex flight maneuvers” and “were they controlled by computers”. Boeing 757s and 767s have flight directors and autopilots. The planes are usually controlled by computers.
Not to make light of the issue but anyone with 1990s-level computer skills can operate a plane in flight using only the AP/FD, and that has been the norm for decades, certainly before 9/11. Once in the cockpit, there was nothing to stop the hijackers from programming a course that would take them directly into their target. While they could have flown the plane by hand, there was no need to. Whether they did or didn’t, the outcome was the same.
There were literally hundreds of videos shot in real time while the 9/11 attacks happened. Most of them have now been released on YouTube. The in-flight recordings between the four hijacked planes and air traffic control have been released and are on YouTube. Forensic videos have been released on YouTube showing exactly how the impacts of the planes that hit the World Trade Center towers damaged the buildings as they sliced in. There are recorded phone calls from passengers and flight crews on the planes and people in the buildings that day. These are eyewitness accounts from people who died in the attacks.
In other words, a massive amount of evidence exists showing exactly what happened on 9/11/01, but there are none so blind as those who WILL NOT see. Understanding cannot be forced on someone who chooses to be ignorant.
This line jumped out at me:
“That the alleged hijacker pilots could successfully fly three of the aircraft into their intended targets”
Three aircraft WERE flown into their intended targets or at least 2 were, if you want to leave the Pentagon out of it. The World Trade Towers WERE hit by aircraft. We’re past “alleged”. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers witnessed that event first hand, saw the planes hit the buildings and saw the planes imbedded in the buildings afterwards. And plane debris was part of the wreckage of the collapsed buildings.
The other word that stuck out at me was “intended” as if to suggest that the towers were not the intended target. At the very least, common sense indicates the towers were the target. Two 747’s weren’t just out for a joy ride in the skies of lower Manhattan when they accidentally hit the two towers.

Why should I trust the UK Column?
Put simply, you shouldn’t.
The question of whether or not to trust a news organisation is a false choice.
Making such a choice is promoted by government, the old media, and two new organisation types: the fact checker and the trust provider. It disenfranchises readers, viewers and listeners. It is based on the principle that if you trust the media organisation you are visiting, there is no need for you to check the information they present.
So we ask you not to trust us. Instead, view everything published here with a critical eye. Where possible, primary source material is made available for everything we publish: check it; make up your own mind.

The Military Drills on 9-11: “Bizarre Coincidence” or Something Else?
Four Arrows (aka Don Jacobs)
The Hidden History of 9-11-2001
ISBN: 978-0-76231-305-1, eISBN: 978-1-84950-408-9
Publication date: 14 July 2006
Abstract
Short-term military simulations of scenarios or conditions that U.S. military personnel might meet are generally the largest, in terms of cost and personnel, of all operational training events. That at least six such exercises were scheduled for September 11, 2001 raises serious questions about whether or not the events of 9/11 were at least partially orchestrated by U.S. command.
In light of the aforementioned military exercises and the fact that the 9/11 Commission's Final Report barely mentions them, neither were they significantly discussed nor investigated during the hearings, this essay briefly explores four key questions that will hopefully stimulate further inquiries, investigations and perhaps subpoenas that will ultimately break the silence and force declassification of the information surrounding the war games.1. Has there been a high-level suppression of information about the military drills?
2. Might the military drills have been a significant factor in the success of the attacks?
3. Who was in charge of the military drills and what motives may have been operating for this person?
4. In what way might Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States for the attacks, be a link that connects to the person in charge of the games to another tragedy that may have been “an inside job” – i.e. Senator Paul Wellstone's death, and how might Moussaoui connect all of this to the Pentagon?
Tape of Air Traffic Controllers Made on 9/11 Was Destroyed
May 7, 2004
At least six air traffic controllers who dealt with two of the hijacked airliners on Sept. 11, 2001, made a tape recording a few hours later describing the events, but the tape was destroyed by a supervisor without anyone making a transcript or even listening to it, the Transportation Department said Thursday.
The taping began before noon on Sept. 11 at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center, in Ronkonkoma, N.Y., where about 16 people met in a basement conference room known as the Bat Cave and passed around a microphone, each recalling his or her version of the events of a few hours earlier. The recording included statements of 5 or 10 minutes each by controllers who had spoken by radio to people on the planes or who had tracked the aircraft on radar, the report said.
Officials at the center never told higher-ups of the tape's existence, according to a report made public on Thursday by the inspector general of the Transportation Department.
A quality-assurance manager at the center destroyed the tape several months after it was made, crushing the cassette in his hand, cutting the tape into little pieces and dropping them in different trash cans around the building, according to the report. The tape had been made under an agreement with the union that it would be destroyed after it was superseded by written statements from the controllers, the report said.
The inspector general, Kenneth M. Mead, said that keeping the tape's existence a secret, and then destroying it, did not ''serve the interests of the F.A.A., the department, or the public,'' and would raise suspicions at a time of national crisis.

Who has four hours to watch this. Exactly who do they say is responsible? In no more that two sentences.
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.
If they would have listened to James Wood they could have prevented it from happening.
