Before you start bashing my point, I would like to present some facts given by the MEDIA to support claims that the government is covering something up. So why do people blindly believe that the government has the best interets of the people in mind?\n\nSix of the 19 hijackers are still alive.... read the news.\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1567815.stm\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1559151.stm\nhttp://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/13/america.attack/\n\nPlease read the articles provided by the news media before you start blabbing trying to defend the government.

I truly appreciate this question. \n\nTo all those who give the token thumbs down to a question like this, or use the juvenile retort of "conspiracy-nut job," please, take some time to seriously analyze the unanswered questions surrounding the 9/11 attacks. \n\nInterestingly, the burden of proof is no longer on the "conspiracy theorists" but on those who have stood by the government's official claim that 19 hijackers with box-cutters financed by Bin Laden, crashed 4 planes without any chance of prevention. \n\nThe following is irrefutable: \n\nFact: Bin Laden is NOT wanted by the FBI for the 9/11 attacks. Check out the FBI website. Reason? They don't have sufficient evidence to convict him. Perhaps this is why Bush said he really doesn't care about him. \n\nFact: There are hundreds of televised claims from that day that witnesses heard or felt explosions prior to the collapse of the towers.  These include firefighters, police, newsreporters, and civilians. \n\nFact: 47 story - WTC 7, we are told, collapsed from fire alone. This was unprecedented for a steel frame building. Furthermore, it fell symetrically in free fall speed. Science and deductive reasoning will easily support the cause of this collpase as demolitions. Fire does not have the energy to do this.  \n\nFact: The steel from WTC was shipped overseas before an investigation was even opened. This is the greatest destruction of evidence in the history of forensics. \n\nFact: Thousands of first responders have been afflicted and some have even died from respiratory failure. The government will not support investigations into the many reports which show that these heroes have micronized steel, glass, and concrete in their lungs. Fire, and the collapse from gravity would not produce this type of dust. Demolitions, however, supports the evidence. \n\nFact: We were told that NORAD didn't intercept any of the planes that day. This spans from about 8:24, the time of the first report of a hijacking, to 10:06, when the last plane crashed in Penn. NORAD's has a prior track record of intercepting planes within minutes. Standard Operating Procedure was not followed that day. They also changed their story several times. \n\nFact: The investigation into 9/11 was initially opposed by the Bush Administration. The 9/11 families pressed for one. They got it, but with remarkable conditions. The total costs of the investigation, including the NIST report, was only $16 million. The cost to investigate the Space Shuttle crash - $50 million. The cost to investigate Clinton - $42 million. In other words, the greatest failure of our defenses deserved less money than the shuttle and Clinton's perjury. What an insult to the 9/11 families. \n\nFact: No one has been fired for 9/11. \n\nFact: The spike in put options on Boeing, United Airlines, and American Airlines were never investigated. Millions are still unclaimed. This indicates someone knew. Why not check out this lead? \n\nFact: The August 6, 2001 Public Daily Briefing Memo was titled BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN THE US. Yet prior to its declassification, we were told by Rice and Fleisher that there were no warnings. Had this news been made public, couldn't travelers, law enforcement, and the airline workers  have been a little more guarded or informed to notice something that day? Wouldn't we have guessed right away that the first report of a hijacking was indeed a terrorist? Or would we have dismissed it as "one bad pilot" and continued to read "My Pet Goat" while America was attacked?\n\nThe bottom line - If the deaths of 3000 people occurred under the control of a corporation, people would have been brought up on charges of criminal negligence. Despite the growing movement and mounting evidence into the WTC collapses, the government still has made up its mind that it is fire that brought these buildings down and that 9/11 was simply a failure of imagination.

lucky2bealive, I don't want to disagree with you but I don't believe you are going to find anywhere in the historical records that Bin Laden claimed responsibility for the 9/11 bombings. What he has done is praise the matyrs of that event. However, there would be more clarity and the issue can be put to bed finally if the government gave us the names of all the people that died in the various events. Where are the planes that crashed? Do you really believe that a building like the Pentagon would have cameras that are intermittent and take pictures every 7/8 seconds. Come.. Come. We are talking about the most technologically advanced country in the world. Something smells fishy and the stench cannot be dispersed until the Government come clean. Have you ever seen reports of the examination of  the so called crash sites?

What are you talking about the official story you mean as reported by the media, they are only reporting what they see and told to report.   If you don't know that already then this is why you have doubts about everything. \n\nWe don't and cannot know everything, proven by further investigations days months years later.  You see people come forward and offer their own thoughts or recollections on the matter, some choose to further the thought or idea and controversy is born.  \n\nAll I know is that it was devastating not only for the US but for the world, this was the World Trade Centre, it was a blow not only to the US but to all the world and it was terrorism, and I refuse to believe any government in the free world would have any part in it and still be re-elected by its people.  If this is the case than we have already lost all that our forefathers faught for, liberty, freedom of speech, prosperity, everything is fake and we might as well be living as in the movie the Matrix.

People are basically paranoid.  And I say that from the amount of people who are complaining that they're being watched.  They are not being watched, unless they are doing something really interesting.  If they are sparking the interest of the Federal Government, they needed to be watched in the first place.  Somehow I am inclined to believe that the people who do the most complaining about anything are the ones who are the most spoiled by other peoples sacrafices.  And making a small sacrafice like this to avoid another bombing is fine with me.  And if they happen to catch a few pedophilic perverts along the way that's even better.

The government seems to think that they have to protect everyone from themselves. Personally, I disagree with that philosophy. But nevertheless it is a fact. There are times when I do not wear my seat belt, especially when I am looking for birds. And if the government does not like it then they can try to catch me. \n\nBut think about this.  If the government were really concerned about people's safety, they would ban semis from the nation's hiways.  They account for a much larger proportion of deaths and injuries than their numbers.  They also account for 90% of the destruction of the hiways but pay for only 10% of the cost of the hiways. \n\nNice to have a powerful lobby.  We have the best government money can buy.

If our American Governement - ( BUSH Govt.) mind their own business then they cannot answer to their own citizens the cause for the destruction World Trade Center and the hit on Pentagon. \n\nTo cheat their own people they are using certain tactics which is not minding their own business.

There are now hundreds of thousands of names that you could add to the list, and more each day.\nAs people are becoming more disenamoured with the present government, they are becoming more prepared to make a better study of the events of 9/11.\nOnce they become truly aware of the facts, it becomes obvious that the government is guilty of a cover-up

I don't believe the official version of the 9/11.\nIf it was true why the government don't show us the videos of the plane crash at the Pentagon, Why the remains of the WTC were quickly destroyed, how can WTC 7 collapse with a small fire? Why the government and the EPA lied about the air quality surrounding the WTC after the collapse and putting the lives of hundreds if not thousands of men and women who were helping the recoveries in danger (most of them have health illness related to poor air quality these days)? Why the government can't give us the proper answers to these question. \nWhy can't we believe the government ? They lied for the war in Iraq, where's the WMD ? but at least we have remove the dictator.\n\nHere is one evidence of the collapse of the buildings were "pulled intentionally"\nA presentation made by professor Steven E. Jones.\nhttp://www.cerebellum.tv/fvideo/byu.php...\nThe power point slides\nhttp://www.checktheevidence.com/911/byus...\n\nEven in the 1960s the government were willing to create "terrorism" in order to attack cuba\nhttp://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/northwoods.pdf

It's not that it's convincing by itself. It's just that it ties in with what we heard on 9/11 in terms of news (much of which may have been unconfirmed). People make that connection between what they remember seeing in the news that day and what the government is telling us now and assume that because two sources are confirming the story, it must be true.

They threatened the people on the planes with boxcutters (not plastic knives), but they claimed they had a bomb, and we will never know if they actually did. \n\nWhat's more, the people on board probably thought there was a good chance they'd make it out alive. After all, in the 70s, tons of planes were hijacked and the crews and passangers rescued or returned safely. People used to hijack planes all the time to make political points, particularly Palestianians.\n\n9/11 also happened because law enforcement got too lax, encouraged by a lazy, fat American public. We got complacent, and they hit us bad. \n\nYou know you would? Listen up, buddy. When someome has a boxcutter to your throat, you're in a plane flying at 300 mph thousands of feet high, you're not so brave. Especially if you think that they might have a bomb, and you rush them, they'll detonate it and kill everyone. Also, you'd have to rush a small cockpit, and the pilots could be killed, which would make the plane crash.\n\nThink and gather facts before you talk, please.\n\nThe Wise One\n\nP.S. eva the diva, you are a sad, pathetic, horrifying person. You talk of human life like they are nothing more than objects. You should be ashamed of yourself. What has made you so cynical? Where is your proof of this "New World Order"?\n\nNutcase.\n\nP.P.S. Sorry I'm not into kissing moron ass.

Because most liberals are conspiratists.  They  like nothing better than blaming the current government for all the evils in the world.  As far as a plane hitting the pentagon, I believe that one did.  And I feel bad for all the people who died there, and in New York.  I also feel bad that the family members of all the victims have to deal with all this crap being put out on the news and Internet.  We should never forget what happened on 9/11, but we should let the deceased rest in peace and not keep dragging everything out all the time.

Well, the 911 hijackings and terrorists attacks have been declared actions by B.Laden and his supporters.\n\nWith that said, there has since come to light a lot of evidence to support that it was an inside job by 'unknown' government officials. Most suspect Cheney and Rumsfeld.\n\nThere has also been quite a bit of evidence questioning whether or not actual planes hit the Pentagon... but rather it was a bomb.\n\nEither way, at this point, it is pure speculation and I highly doubt we will ever know the truth within our lifetimes.

If 9/11 was what many suspect it to have been,then the Axe needs to fall.  It rarely does, however, as we seem to be cursed with the JFK syndrome of believing the public can't stand to hear the truth.  Those that run things have a cynical view of humanity, and they don't seem to care about us at all.

Absolutely absurd. How could the US have helped 9/11? Why would  they? How would no one have come up with any credible evidence after all these years? What reason is there to think that it was not a well-planned attack, run by a large group of Arab terrorists? I think that is the story that fits the evidence.\n\nThey're not addressed in any plausible way. Vast conspiracies don't actually happen or work. Someone always finds out, and yet there's no evidence of this conspiracy.\n\nEdit: Jets did not intercept the planes because they are stationed hundreds of miles from where they were and were not alerted until shortly before the planes crashed. The FAA notified NORAD at 8:40 and planes were scrambled 6 minutes later, 153 miles from the World Trade Center and the first plane crashed at about that time. http://mckinneysucks.blogspot.com/2002_06_01_mckinneysucks_archive.html#77997492\n\nThe buildings fell quickly because they were crashed into by giant airliners. It seems like a building like that should be able to withstand more, but neither you, nor I, nor Ruppert, nor even the engineers who built the towers know what it is like for a plane to crash into a building. The commission report clearly states that the plane struck main support beams and started fires that raged at intense temperatures, further weakining the already weakened supports. Once that happens it doesn't take long for a building to collapse onto itself.\n\nAs for WTC7, the report is clear enough that fires were started on several floors by debris. People say it looks too controlled, but they failr to realize that buildings that tall are made to crumble down and not out. If a main beam buckles, there's no momentum to throw debris out - the force is all down.\n\nHow long it took to form a commission is a question I have myself, but that alone does not make a conspiracy.\n\nAs for explosions, see this: http://www.geocities.com/factsnotfantasy/ExplosivesDebunked.html

Without a doubt, 911 was an inside job. \nFor those of you here that scoff? For those of you who belittle facts to suit the comfort of that sand around your heads? I honestly have no idea what to say to you people. We're talking about OUR country here, we're talking about fellow human beings who we're tragically murdered. While you who scoff and were/are content to have your 'facts' spoon-fed to you, the rest of us have to know the real facts.\n\nA few of many educational links below.

i'm american but what i've heard about their immigration policies...i'd say there are loopholes..hijackers forced a plane to land and had 180 hostages they got welfare and subsidised housing for 5 months while the govt decided if they should get citizenship. they should have been arrested for committing a felony.
