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.

I can’t argue with a single thing you wrote.

That said, there is one thing they have down to a fine art. Justifying whatever they do. As long as they kill in the name of Allah’ they ‘win’.

Eventually modern man will get to the place in his collective mind that they did in the past. Say...about right before the crusades started. Ultimately we fight an us or them war. Because that’s the war they have repeatedly told us they are fighting. It doesn’t really matter how libs bitch and cry. Because their bitching and crying will bot stop anything. It only makes the final outcome all the worse.

Buildings in the flight path prevented any lower hits on the towers. They also didn’t know that a steel framed building would basically shred an aluminum airplane.

Go back and watch the video's of Osama and his buddies watching events unfold during that day. The translations of those video's showed that not only did they believe their attack was wildly successful, they never imagined either tower collapsing.

I have to disagree. 9/11 was the beginning of the end of our Country.
