The summer Olympic games, during which Arab terrorists belonging to the PLO faction called Black September snuck into the athletes village, captured nine Israeli hostages and after their demands for the freedom of 200 Arab prisoners and safe passage out of Germany were not met, they accepted a deal to take helicopters to the airport at a NATO airbase, where they and the hostages would be flown to Cairo.\n\nAfter the helicopters landed at the air base around 10:30 p.m., German sharpshooters attempted to kill the terrorists and a bloody firefight ensued. At 11, the media was mistakenly informed that the hostages had been saved and the news was announced to a relieved Israeli public. Almost an hour later, however, new fighting broke out and one of the helicopters holding the Israelis was blown up by a terrorist grenade. The remaining hostages in the second helicopter were shot to death by one of the surviving terrorists.\n\nAt 3 a.m., a drawn and teary-eyed Jim McKay, who had been reporting the drama throughout the day as part of ABC's Olympic coverage, announced: "They're all gone."\n\nFive of the terrorists were killed along with one policeman, and three were captured. A little over a month later, on Oct. 29, a Lufthansa jet was hijacked by terrorists demanding that the Munich killers be released.\n\nThe Germans capitulated and the terrorists were let go, but an Israeli assassination squad was assigned to track them down along with those responsible for planning the massacre. According to George Jonas in Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team, eight of the 11 men targeted for death were killed. Of the remaining three, one died of natural causes and the other two were assassinated, but it is not known for sure if they were killed by Israeli agents.

(I have rearranged the paragraphs from theage.com's article cited below).\n\nPavel Hlava, an immigrant construction worker from the Czech Republic, shot footage of the first plane hitting the north tower as a 4WD vehicle he was riding in entered the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel en route to lower Manhattan. \n\nThe footage, obtained by The New York Times, was taken by a Czech immigrant construction worker whose son at one point came close to accidentally erasing the rare, chilling footage, the newspaper reported on its website today. \n\nThe only videotape known to have captured both planes slamming into the World Trade Centre, and only the second image of the first strike, has surfaced on the eve of the second anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks. \n\nFederal officials investigating the Trade Centre collapse are trying to obtain a copy of the hourlong tape, which could cast light on the cause of the north tower's collapse by helping to determine factors including the exact speed at which the first plane travelled, The Times said. \n\nThe only other known footage of the first plane's impact came from a French film crew making a documentary about a probationary firefighter. \n\nHlava, who made the tape looking at the camera's relatively low-resolution LCD display, told the Times he did not see the first plane as he focused on the towers. \n\nBut the tape shows a whitish object hitting the tower, followed by dust spurting from the tower's side and a silvery, expanding cloud. \n\nPassing through the tunnel, Hlava, his brother and his boss heard a radio report that a small private plane had hit the World Trade Centre, straight ahead outside the tunnel. \n\nThat hardly prepared them for what they saw when they emerged: the north tower, looming over them, bursting with flames. \n\nAs Hlava continued filming, the second jet shrieked behind him. He caught the plane as it crashed into the south tower, exploding into an orange fireball and sending papers flying in every direction. \n\nLater, after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, he focused on the buildings again as the south tower tilted to one side and collapsed. \n\nHlava and his brother, Josef, unsuccessfully tried to sell the tape in New York and in the Czech Republic, the newspaper said. \n\nHlava said through a Czech-language translator that language difficulties hindered his ability to sell or release the tape to the media. \n\nHe also said that so much time had passed that he had doubted there was still interest in the tape. \n\n"All his friends, they told him, 'Hey, you made a mistake. You waited too long'," translator David Melichar told The Times. \n\nHlava's boss, who was driving, also had strong objections to selling the tape, Melichar said. \n\nHlava and Melichar's numbers are not listed and attempts by The Associated Press to reach them were unsuccessful. \n\nIn the weeks and months after the attack, the tape sat in Hlava's apartment in the Ridgewood section of Queens. \n\nOn one occasion, Hlava said he noticed that his son was playing with the video camera and erasing the tape. Hlava snatched the camera away before either of the plane impacts were erased. \n\nA friend of Hlava's wife obtained a copy of the tape and traded it to another Czech immigrant to pay off a bar tab. \n\nAnother woman learned of the existence of the copy and brought it to the attention of a freelance news photographer who took the tape to The Times.\n\nThe photographer, Walter Karling, who now describes himself as Hlava's agent, said it had not been sold to any television station. The Times said it had not paid for the tape. \n\nKarling's number was not published and he could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press. \n\n\n- AP

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.

This is a very true possibility because there is actual proof of the government hiding what happend on that day... if you recall a plane had also hit the pentagon as well as the towers right... negative there was no plane wreckage at that site. what had actualy hit it was a missle. and the government wants us to believe that it was a plan to not cause panic.

yes. he lied about seeing the 1st plane hit on cnn but the footage didnt air for another 14 hours. the fbi, cia, nas & dod all had info in the hijackers. their locations, pasts, their financing, their intentions & the training they were getting. its all been documented.  http://scotthortonshow.com/

ok...a few facts first. they were armed with Boxcutters, in case you don't know what a boxcutter is or what it can do..I can assure you...a brand new boxcutter can slice your throat in one clean move..from ear to ear..\n\nSecond, no, the pilots were not armed. Hence the debate immediately following the 911 attacks about allowing pilots to carry handguns in the cockpits..most do now.\n\nNext, The cockpit doors, pre-911 were relatively easy to break down...no major security reinforcements at that time.\n\nWhy wouldn't the people have risen up and attempted to take back control of the plane...well let's see...if some rampaging maniacs with razor sharp box cutters stood up...murdered the flight attendant by slitting her throat right in front of you and claimed to have a bomb on board...what do you think you would do..?\n\nGo all Bruce Lee on them or pee yourself? My guess is the second option...anyone with a bit of knowledge in psychology will tell you..people are basically sheep...mustering their collective will...is an almost impossible task despite what you might have seen in the movies...\n\nThey did not "sneak aboard" they all had valid plane tickets and passports except for several men who were turned away from the airport that day due to the suspicion of a security guard who noticed one of the men acting rather nervous..Upon being turned away...security cameras show several other men, then gathering their belongings and walking away as well...this may or may not have been a 5th group that was supposedly going to crash another  plane into the White House.\n\nthe hijackings did not occur in such a fashion as to be deemed "precisely timed"...if you recall, the flight patterns did not become immediately recognized as erratic, creating a lag between the time when flight control realized there was a problem and when the planes began smashing into the Towers and The Pentagon. Any number of problems could have gone wrong with communications on board or in the towers that would make the operator think there was a malfunction of some sort...long before they would have assumed a terrorist threat...You have to remember, we used to live in a time (Sept. 10th) when such an attack was inconceivable...Naive.? yes...but welcome to America...our ignorance is our bliss...\n\nWas 911 a conspiracy...well..it's certainly possible...as is most everything...is it plausible? Perhaps...it would certainly help to facilitate the "high alert",  do anything under the guise of National Security (including invading a country that was in no way involved) landscape that we currently live in.\n\nAnd by the by...the hijackers were not "Iraqi"...nine out of the 14 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia...\n\nit's hard to imagine how quickly the American people forget the facts or allow the facts to become skewed after some talking head regurgitates opinions...but again...our ignorance is truly our bliss...\n\nbuy a copy of the 911 Commision's Report...\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393326713/sr=8-1/qid=1150743277/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-0590675-2195000?%5Fencoding=UTF8\n\noh...and you don't "activate" a transponder...the transponder gives the plane's location at all times..there was/is no "terrorist button" that tells flight control "Hey, uh..were being hijacked..."\n\nIt would seem terribly ignorant to assume that given their training...(see Afghanistan, CIA, 1980's, Flight Training - Florida) that they wouldn't be able to rush the cockpit, kill the pilots and assume control of the plane in a matter of seconds....

For the average person, isn't that a little like asking, "When is the second coming of Christ?"\n\nSeriously, though. We have stopped several would be incidents of terror over the course of the last four years. The two incidents which come immediately to mind are the Millennium Bomber in Seattle and the British Airlines hijacker a year or so back.\n\nThe Millennium Bomber was stopped by a Customs agent using profiling techniques. And that is behavoral profiling - NOT racial profiling. Customs (as well as the agency I work for) are taught to look for certain behavioral patterns that do not fit a given scenario. This is what the Customs agent did. Something didn't seem right, so she investigated further. Turns out that the guy was on the way to try to blow up the Space Needle in Seattle.\n\nThe British Airways hijacker was stopped due to specific intelligence. Although the guy got away, all British Airways flights to the United States were grounded for two or three days. To my knowledge, the suspected terrorist was planning on trying to hijack the plane and fly it into another building.\n\nBoth incidents were cases of terror attacks being planned and stopped cold in their tracks due to the multi-layered security system being built in the United States.\n\nBTW, both of these incidents are public knowledge and are detailed in reports on the web.

Well, thats not all. The only pictures released by the government from the security cameras in the area, were dated Sept. 12, and many experts feel they were faked. The parts of the plane that were found, were not from the airliner they described. Then there is the punchout on the inside ring.\nThere remain many many questions about that day...

Fiction. Here's why:\n1-The entire United States intelligence community knew of the 9/11 attacks before hand, including the fact that commercial jets were to be used as bombs; they also knew the approximate dates and possible targets but were called off their investigations.\n2-There is incontrovertible evidence that the US Air Force all across the country was comprehensively "stood down" on the morning of September 11th. Routine security measures, normally in place, which may well have been able to prevent the attacks, or reduce their impact, were suspended for one hour while the attacks were in progress, and re-instated once they were over.\n3-Neither the Joint Chief of Staff, the Secretary of Defense nor the President of the United States acted according to well established emergency protocols.\n4-Prior to 9/11, the US intelligence agencies should have stopped the nineteen terrorists from entering this country for intelligence reasons, alone. Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers' visas should have been unquestionably denied because their applications were incomplete and incorrect.\n5-How did many of the hijackers receive clearance for training at secure U.S. military and intelligence facilities, and for what purposes? Many of the terrorist pilots received their initial training in Venice, Florida at one of two flight schools of highly questionable credibility and with approval of US intelligence.\n6-At a time when the U.S. intelligence community was on alert for an imminent Al-Qaeda attack, the Bush Administration made it easier for Saudi visitors to come to the U.S. under a program called U.S. Visa Express, introduced four months before September 11th.\n7-The September 11th disaster has resulted in power and profit at home and abroad by both the Bin Laden and the Bush families.\n8-Revelations of profits made by insider trading relating to the 9/11 attacks, point to the top levels of US business and the CIA. \n9-Selected persons were told not to fly that day. Newsweek reported that on September 10th, "a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns." \n10-In June of 2001, the FAA rescinded a 40-year-old rule allowing pilots to carry guns into the cockpit.\n11-In July of 2001, a CIA official was reported to have met with Osama bin Laden, who was receiving treatment for kidney problems at an American hospital in Dubai. \n12-On the morning of 9/11, Sen. Bob Graham (head of Senate Intelligence Committee) and Rep. Porter Goss (head of House Intelligence Committee) had breakfast with General Mahmoud Ahmad, head of Pakistani Intelligence, who had earlier directed that $100,000 be wired to Mohamad Atta, terrorist ringleader.\n13-The official story is that the black boxes (voice and data recorders) from Flight 11 and Flight 175 were never retrieved from the World Trade Tower wreckage. However, firefighters Mike Bellone and Nicholas DeMasi say they assisted the FBI in retrieving three of the four black boxes in December, 2001.\n\nIn response to the guy posting after me, try reading the 9/11 Commission Report. I have added links to other sources below:

Actually it was in the spirit of "life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness." The "life, liberty and persuit of hapiness" of the other passengers. The A.C.L.U. should stay out of this.\n\nUntil it could be confirmed that these clerics posed no threat to the plane and its other passengers they should not have been allowed to board. \n\nUntil such time that aircraft are being taken over and used as guided missles by someone other than young Arab Muslims, then Muslims should expect to be singled out. \n\nUntil such time as someone other than Muslims are threatening us and working toward the destruction of western civilation then Muslims should be viewed with suspicion.\n\nAnd American Muslim clerics could do far more to help bring this under control if they would simply stop encouraging the extremists by thier tacit, and sometimes outright, support for the actions of the terrorists.

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.
