The Official 911 Conspiracy

There is a conspiracy theory going around that on that fateful day of the 11th September 2001 a couple of terrorists planned from inside a cave in Afghanistan an attack on the USA. According to this theory the attack was planned by an ex CIA operative; Osama Bin Laden. They had incredible luck on their side! They were able to catch the US defense system off guard, highjack 4 planes, fly two into the World Trade Center towers, one into the Pentagon and unfortunately for them, the last one did not reach its intended target.

This would not have been a conspiracy theory as told by the US government if it was not such an incredible story that would made any science fiction movie director sit up and notice. Let’s presume the first crash into the tower caught the authorities’ off-guard, that neither a warning of a plane off course nor any highjack alert went out to intercept the plane. And let’s also presume the horror of these men’s plans was only discovered after the second plane went into the Towers, so by then everyone knew that this was not an accident. Things really get strange after this event.

A third plane, Flight 77, a Boeing 757 with a wingspan of 38 meters and two large turbofan engines and a large tail section disappeared into a 5 meter diameter hole when it crashed into the Pentagon. It managed this by flying at a very high speed not touching the lawn in front of the building and the terrorist that was supposed to make this incredible maneuver could hardly fly a Cessna! The US government says this Boeing 757 was able to do just this and also penetrate 3 walls of reinforced concrete rings and that almost nothing was left of the plane after the crash. No wings, no tail section, no large engines were left behind apart from the “APU” turbine that doesn’t belong to a Boeing. According to the conspiracy theory from the authorities this was the case because of the speed and heat at the crash site, however all the passengers on the plane’s DNA were identified at the site… The videos that could show the Boeing crashing into the Pentagon were removed by FBI minutes after the event happened from a nearby garage and hotel rooftop.

The fourth plane, Flight 63, the passengers were able to make cell phone calls at a cruising attitude of 32000 feet. The technology for passengers to make cell calls on passenger planes were only made commercially available two years ago, so either that plane was a far advanced development plane or those calls were not made from that plane. According to the government’s official conspiracy theory, the plane was brought down by the passengers although the crash site does indicate that it must have been in several pieces before it struck the ground. The plane for some reason was spread out over a very large area at the crash site indicating either an explosion in mid air or maybe this aircraft was taken out by a military aircraft…but for now lets stay with the government’s story because it might make a good movie…oops wasn’t one made recently?

For the first time ever a steel framed building collapsed because of a fire! This is however the conspiracy theory of the US government. They say the planes removed some supporting structure and then incredibly the jet fuel burning caused the steel to weaken resulting in the collapse. Their conspiracy theory becomes even more incredible because then they talk about the pancake effect, must be a new scientific term because according to this theory the one floor collapsing on the one below resulted in the next floor weakening and falling onto the next. Not only did this pancake effect result in the two building falling perfectly on one center line, but also it fell at such a speed as if the one floor falling onto the next, encountered no resistance at all. In fact if someone at that moment when the buildings started to collapse were to drop a stone, both would have reached the ground at the same time!

Now the last part of the US government’s conspiracy theory is rather a non-theory because of no explanation given. The collapse of building 7, a 50 story building collapsing in similar fashion to the two main towers was met with silence, so they did not offer to explain why this building would collapse as if it was demolished and no plane hitting it. Neither did they say why they thought it would be safe to keep the US President at a highly publicized and televised event; at a primary school while this event was unfolding! For some reason they thought it would be safer there and the children would not be in danger although at that stage no one knew how many planes were high jacked nor where they were or what their intended targets were. The government’s conspiracy theory does also not explain why firemen and other eye witnesses heard many other explosions at the World Trade Center before the planes crashing and before and during the collapse of the three buildings.

There are so many theories about what happened on that day, but the conspiracy theory presented by the US government as the official one, seems to be the one with most of the holes in the story. But maybe people reading this article won’t want to think what the alternative could be. I must admit it is a scary thought to think that maybe the US Government could have sacrificed its own citizens by either planning 911 or allowed it to happen. Wouldn’t it be scary to know that the 3 buildings were brought down by controlled demolition and that flight 77 had another fateful ending with something else crashed into the Pentagon instead and that Flight 63 was shot down?

If this official conspiracy theory from the US Government turns out to be a lie, will I not be surprised. Chances are this is not the first time a politician or government lied or withheld information about something. I am however surprised to see that no main stream news media aren’t doing any research and investigations of their own into these same questions. Should I be surprised?
