Perhaps this is too far into Tin Foil Hat territory, but here's something I noticed about the flight numbers involved in the attacks on 9/11. flight 11 = the attack took place on 9-11. The 9-11 connection is odd enough but follow this. flight 93 = 9+3=12...a second attack 9/12 flight 175 = 1+7+5=13...the 13th? flight 77 = 7+7...the 14th?

Investigators checking the passenger list of the four hijacked jet planes have found the name of a supporter of Osama bin Laden on one of them. Five Arab men - one of them a pilot - have been identified as suspects, the Boston Herald reports. Police have seized a rented car containing Arabic-language flight training manuals at Logan International Airport, a source told the newspaper. Two of the men were brothers whose passports were traced to the United Arab Emirates. One of the men was a trained pilot, the paper reports. The paper says investigators suspect the two brothers were ...

Follow the Simulators FrontPageMagazine.com | September 12, 2001 WE KNOW THREE THINGS about the terror strike. First, we know the planes were hijacked. Second, we know that the hijackers, not American and United pilots at gunpoint, piloted the planes into the building. Make Comments View Comments Printable Article Email Article We know this because it is extraordinarily unlikely that any one pilot could be convinced to fly into a building;  facing death, at the last minute, the pilot would crash elsewhere.  The probability of even three of four pilots executing such a maneuver is extraordinarily remote.  No well-planned operation ...

Barbara Olson, American PatriotBy Ann Coulter FrontPageMagazine.com | September 12, 2001  AFTER THE HIJACKERS pushed the passengers to the back of the plane out of Dulles Airport, Barbara Olson managed to make two final calls on her cell phone.  She called her husband, Ted, the Solicitor General of the United States. She told him to call the FBI, her plane was being hijacked.  Moments later, evidently while still on the line with her husband, the plane plunged into the Pentagon. Barbara must have had to place the call furtively, and it can’t have been easy to make the call, because ...

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Police may have narrowly averted another catastrophe, arresting three men who allegedly were driving a van full of explosives destined for the George Washington Bridge in upper Manhattan-Bronx area of New York, a television station reported Tuesday night. The WCBS-Channel 2 News report quoted police as saying the men had enough explosives to blow up the bridge, which spans the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York, if they were detonated. The suspects, who weren't identified, were arrested in the Meadowlands in New Jersey. In the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks, New ...

<p>Twin terror attacks by hijacked airliners toppled the World Trade Center towers yesterday as coordinated strikes here and in Washington killed untold numbers of people, leaving the nation reeling from a "second Pearl Harbor."</p> <p>Within an hour of the Twin Towers blitzkrieg, another kamikaze airliner headed straight for the White House before veering off and plowing into the Pentagon, officials said.</p>

The flying bombs that destroyed the WTC yesterday left a gaping hole in New York's Police and Fire departments - with hundreds of the city's heroes perishing in the disaster. Some 200 firefighters, including some top-ranking supervisors, were believed to have been killed when the crippled Twin Towers collapsed on them during frantic rescue efforts, officials said. Among the dead was Chief of Department Peter Ganci, the highest-ranking uniformed member of the Bravest, and First Deputy Commissioner William Feehan, officials said. Chief Ray Downey, the most decorated firefighter in the department, and FDNY chaplain Michael Judge, a Franciscan priest, were ...

<p>When the world caved in on me yesterday morning, I was standing 200 feet from 1 World Trade Center, looking at the top of the other Twin Tower resting on the ground.</p> <p>It was a freakish sight, and as I shot it, another photographer approached me and said he was out of film. I had two rolls left. I handed him one.</p>

WE ARE A NATION at war this day after the most terrible morning in American history. The horrific, despicable series of coordinated attacks on our country yesterday makes Pearl Harbor pale by comparison. Our hearts and prayers go out to those individuals and families most directly affected by yesterday’s events. They number, tragically, in the thousands and, as too often seems the case with great national tragedy, there are New Hampshire connections. If you can give blood in the days ahead, please do so. A word, too, about the dedicated, courageous fire and police personnel who risked and gave their ...

BRITAIN will stand "shoulder to shoulder" with America in seeking to find and punish the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, Tony Blair vowed last night. In a tense and emotional statement from 10 Downing Street, a clearly shocked Mr Blair said mass terrorism was the "new evil in our world". He said there were no adequate words of condemnation for those responsible for the "barbarism". "The people who perpetrated it have no regard whatever for the sanctity or value of human life." After chairing an emergency meeting of the Cabinet's Civil Contingencies ...

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman Worldwide Caution September 7, 2001 Over the last several months, the U.S. Government has learned that U.S. citizens and interests abroad may be at increased risk of a terrorist action from extremist groups. In addition, we have received unconfirmed information that terrorist actions may be taken against U.S. military facilities and/or establishments frequented by U.S. military personnel in Korea and Japan. We are also concerned about information we received in May 2001 that American citizens may be the target of a terrorist threat from extremist groups with links to ...

When we find ourselves in a war we can't win, we must either capitulate or change it to the kind of war we can win. If we find and destroy the perpetrators, we only make them martyrs and guarantee that others will attack us again. But if we absolutely defeat their goals and punish those who support and protect them, we can put an end to this sort of thing once and for all.

At approximately 8.45 a.m. EST America suffered a second “day of infamy”. The twin towers of the World Trade Center were demolished when two hijacked passenger planes were deliberately flown into them by American-hating Islamic fanatics. A third plane was flown into the Pentagon and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. Some estimate the death toll could greatly exceed 10,000 while the number of injured are yet to be calculated. Whatever the final figures these terrorist atrocities will scar America for decades to come. The question being asked is: Who and why? There no mystery here. They were Middle Eastern ...

We told you. You were warned. "DON'T TREAD ON ME". It's an uniquely American motto, a slogan. Right now, I'd like to be our official motto. But no matter, for you at least, because you didn't pay attention. You will regret this day for eternity. For your silly agenda, for your fanatical, sick, bastardized interpretation of your religion, you have murdered thousands of American civilians, innocent of any offense against you. You have given civilized mankind yet another sad, inaccurate example of what the followers of Islam are like. It does not apply to 99% of Muslims, but it will ...

<p>They ran for their lives, bloodied and burned, hysterical and confused.</p> <p>Thousands of survivors yesterday told of miraculous escapes, courage and determination as they fled burning buildings only to be engulfed in a tidal wave of toxic smoke and ash as the World Trade Center's Twin Towers collapsed.</p>

Terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon challenge aspects of America's core identity WASHINGTON - On a Tuesday like any other, with fall coming on and the kids settling into school, the United States of America was struck by a series of terror blows so searing they could change the nation's sense of itself as profoundly as did Pearl Harbor or the worst days of the Vietnam War. The US is used to feeling invulnerable. Bombs, smoke, and a banshee chorus of rescue vehicles were for other, weaker, less prosperous places. "One of the pilots keyed their mike ...

Question for fellow Frepers: What flag was that behind President Bush - not the Stars and Stripes, but the one with the dark colored field, gold stars, and eagle clutching arrows?
