Well, Muslims tend to screw up a lot. The ‘workplace accident’ thing. If we assume that they did in fact plan meticulously for this, the odds of them barfing it up increases directly with the level of complexity involved. That is of course true foe the best of men with the best of skills. But when Muslims are involved, you are on the opposite end of the spectrum.
That said, It’s all just IMHO/speculation on my part. They DID pull off 911. I just think it’s more likely than not they hosed it.
As bad as 9/11 was, I don’t think they had nearly the success they really intended. First plane hit relatively high on the tower - probably thought they were going to knock it into the other - perhaps into the other tower so as to take both out. Think they had backup plans - so when 2nd came on the scene it hit the other tower lower - fire did cause the 2nd tower to fall first as much more weight bearing as structural integrity started to fail. 3rd plane appeared to try to hit the White House but couldn’t see it in time so circled around and did damage to the Pentagon - again the backup plan. 4th plane - passengers sacrificed themselves in keeping the terrorist totally unsuccessful at getting to a target.
911 was a horrible day, disaster - but it could have been 10x worse.
If this does turn out to be terrorist, I would agree they didn’t achieve their planned result, but once again did kill innocents.
Obama’s publicized push to give Muslims greater exposure to American science, such as to NASA, makes more & more sense.
