It's been 17 years since that day, with Nine-Eleven, when three skyscrapers collapsed in New York. No, I'm not wrong. Not two, but three, but for some reason they prefer not to remember the third. And when a third plane crashed into the Pentagon wing being repaired, and in a strange way almost self-destructed, and another one crashed in the desert. And this is not all the mysteries of the tragedy that happened.

So, on the morning of September 11, 2001, four Boeing planes (two in Boston, one in Washington and another in Newark) were hijacked by some unknown persons, after which the first two planes crashed into the New York skyscrapers WTC-1 and WTC-2, the third hit the wall of the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The two towers of the World Trade Center, attacked by planes, suddenly completely collapsed in a very strange way within an hour and a half, neatly folding inward. Also, for some reason, the neighboring skyscraper WTC 7 completely and neatly collapsed, although no planes hit it.

Only a few days passed after the “acts of terrorism” when the first official version of everything that happened was ready and the perpetrators were named. Osama bin Laden, who led this action from Afghanistan, and, of course, his offspring al-Qaeda, were immediately blamed. Also, the names of all 19 hijackers were immediately named, who abandoned their cars near the airports, in which they found the Koran and instructions in Arabic “How to fly an airplane”, and miraculously preserved passports of “terrorists” were found in the wreckage of the aircraft. It followed from this that it was urgent to start bombing Afghanistan and invading Iraq.

In the fall of 2002, a special commission was created under the loud name "National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States." It was chaired by former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean. The commission included former employees of the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice and other government agencies. Philip Zelikow, a member of the administration of President Bush Jr., who also worked under Bush Sr., led all the actions and the course of the investigation.

The official version mentioned above took its final form on July 22, 2004, when the above-mentioned commission consisting of 83 people completed the report on 585 pages. The Keene Commission report confirmed the above version, which even now remains the only and irrefutable one.

And now let's give some facts showing how the US intelligence services are able to "investigate" and get the necessary and obviously announced results.

Cell Phones

The official report claims that all information from the Boeing that crashed into the WTC skyscraper was transmitted to the ground via mobile phones. In particular, flight attendant Betty Ong (Betty Ong) talked for 23 minutes, and flight attendant Madeline Sweeney (Madeline Sweeney) - 25 minutes. Sweeney's last words were: "I see water! I see buildings! .

And now the fact that the authors of the official report "forgot" about. In 2001, cell phone calls from an aircraft flying at over 700 km/h were not possible.

The fact is that when the phone enters the broadcast area of ​​the base station, or "cell", the so-called "greeting" occurs, which in 2001 took at least eight seconds. The "welcome" system was not designed for driving at a speed of 700 km / h and is possible at a maximum speed of 150 km / h. And only in 2004, Qualcomm, together with American Airlines, developed a system that, using satellite, provides calls to cell phones from an aircraft on which a special mobile base station is installed. On July 15, 2004, a test run of the system was made, after which it began to function.

Cheating with speed

The official report of the Keene Commission provides a diagram of the alleged movement of Flight 175, which crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center, according to which the plane overcame the final straight section from the city of Trenton to New York in four minutes.

Boeing traffic to New York

And now the fact: The distance between Trenton and New York in a straight line is 85 kilometers. For good measure, you can even consider it equal to 80. According to official data, the plane covered this distance in 4 minutes. Let's find the average speed of the liner in this section: V = 80 km / 4 min = 20 km/min = 1200 km/h. We get the speed of sound.

Of course, the Boeing 767 was not supersonic. IN technical specifications The Boeing 767-200 is said to have a maximum cruising speed at 12 km altitude of 915 km/h. And this is only at an altitude of 12,000 meters, where the air density is five times lower than at sea level, and the liner flew into the building at an altitude of several hundred meters. The same technical specifications say that the maximum allowable speed of the Boeing 767-200 (the so-called Vne - Velocity Never Exceed), exceeding which the aircraft will simply begin to collapse, is 0.86 the speed of sound, that is, about 1000 km / h. Therefore, even if the plane still managed to develop the speed of sound, it would have crumbled long before Manhattan. That is, the official investigation invites everyone to believe that it is impossible purely physical. So, another lie of the official investigation.

"Twins" could not collapse on their own

According to the official report, the 100-story skyscraper WTC-1 completely collapsed 1 hour 42 minutes after the plane hit, and its twin WTC-2 - 56 minutes later. The reason, of course, is indicated as follows - the impact and the subsequent fire that occurred after the Boeings hit the buildings.

But here some more surprising facts appear.

It turns out that the Twins were designed in such a way that, in addition to the wind load, they could withstand the frontal impact of the Boeing 707, the largest passenger airliner in those years. In the early 1970s, Leslie Robertson, who built the buildings, calculated the effect of a Boeing 707 colliding with the WTC tower. He reported the results to the New York Times, arguing that the towers would withstand the impact of an airliner flying at a speed of 960 km / h, that is, having taken the impact of the liner, the skyscraper would remain standing without undergoing serious structural damage. In other words, the central frame and the remaining standing perimeter will withstand the additional load resulting from the absence of the demolished part of the supporting structures. It was with such a margin of safety that the "twins" were built.

Frank DeMartini, one of the leaders of the WTC project, confirms this idea: the building is designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 with maximum takeoff weight. It was the largest aircraft of that time. I am sure that the building would have withstood even a few blows from the planes, since its structure resembled a frequent mosquito net, and the plane is like a pencil that pierces this net and does not affect the structure of the rest of it.

The fire also could not destroy the skyscrapers. Here is evidence that the official report is lying again:

So, the WTC-1 building withstood the first blow. However, in the next hour and a half, something happened as a result of the fire, which provoked the collapse of the tower. By the way, this is the first and only case in world history when a skyscraper actually turns into a pile of ruins as a result of an hour and a half fire - this is according to the official version.

In the mid-1990s, two British firms - British Steel and Building Research Establishment - conducted a series of experiments in the city of Cardington to determine the effect of fires on steel-framed structures. On the experimental model of an eight-story building, the steel structures did not have fire protection. Despite the fact that the temperature of the steel beams reached 900 °C (!) with a critically permissible maximum of 600 °C, in none of the six experiments did failure occur, although certain deformations did occur.

In August 2005, John R. Hall Jr. of the National Fire Protection Association of the United States published the analytical paper "Fires in Tall Buildings". In particular, it provides statistics according to which, in 2002 alone, 7,300 fires occurred in high-rise buildings, many of which were very intense and lasted for many hours, having managed to absorb more than one floor. Despite casualties and significant damage, none of these fires resulted in collapses.

If that's not enough, here are a few more specific examples of some of the worst fires in recent decades:

On February 23, 1991, a fire broke out in the 38-story One Meridian Plaza building in Philadelphia. The fire started on the 22nd floor, engulfed 8 floors and lasted 18 hours. As a result of this fire, a lot of glass was broken, granite cracked and load-bearing walls sank. Nevertheless, the building survived and not a single part of it collapsed.

On May 4, 1988, the 62-story First Interstate Bank building in Los Angeles caught fire. The fire lasted 3.5 hours, 4.5 floors burned out - from the 12th to the 16th. But the load-bearing structures survived completely, and secondary structures and several floors between floors received only minor damage. The building survived.

On August 5, 1970, the 50-story building 1 New York Plaza exploded and started a fire that lasted six hours. There were no collapses.

On October 17, 2004, a skyscraper in the Venezuelan city of Caracas caught fire. The fire broke out at the level of the 34th floor, covered 26 (!) floors and lasted 17 hours. The building survived.

And, finally, a fire in that same New York World Trade Center. On February 13, 1975, a fire broke out in the north tower on the 11th floor, as a result of which 65% of the floor burned out completely. In addition, the fire spread down to the 9th and up to the 16th floors, without affecting, however, office rooms and limited to shafts inside the central frame. The fire lasted three hours, and despite its much higher intensity than September 11, 2001, the structure of the building was not damaged. Not only the central frame remained absolutely unscathed, inside which the fire mainly spread, but also all the interfloor ceilings.

WTC fire in 1975

And the 47-storey "WTC 7" collapsed by itself ... by accident.

The official report claims that the WTC-7 "collapsed" due to the weakening of the supporting structures, despite the fact that no aircraft hit it.

As it turned out, very few knew about the demolition of building No. 7 of the World Trade Center. Its destruction somehow passed unnoticed against the background of the rest of the events of that day. This 47-story skyscraper, also called Salomon Brothers, housed the offices of the FBI, the Department of Defense, the 1RS tax service (according to Online Journal, with a huge amount of compromising evidence, including the infamous Enron), counterintelligence United States, the stock exchange (with evidence of stock fraud), and various financial institutions. Its collapse occurred at approximately 17:20 New York time, and several rather curious incidents are associated with it at once.

FEMA claims that this building collapsed for the same reasons as the "twins" - due to the weakening of the supporting structures. But why? The plane did not hit him. Fires did not rage in it - only in three places there were small local fires: on the seventh, twelfth and twenty-ninth floors. If we recall the scheme of the entire WTC, then building No. 7 is the most remote from the "epicenter", separated from the main complex by another street. Where is his injury from? The report is silent on this.

Such a small fire allegedly caused the complete destruction of the WTC-7 building

And the most “truthful” in the world, the BBC even reported the collapse of the WTC-7 in advance.

Indeed, the reportage of the British television channel BBC BBC (BBC) looks unique. In a TV news broadcast that aired at 10:00 London time, that is, at 17:00 New York time, the presenter told viewers that the WTC-7 building in New York had collapsed. But there were still 20 minutes before it collapsed. Moreover, the correspondent of the channel Jane Standley (Jane Standley), in her live report from New York, talked about the collapse of the WTC-7, being at the same time against its background. A rare photograph just depicts this moment - the WTC-7 building is indicated by arrows. The caption at the bottom of the screen reads: "The 47-story Salomon Brothers building next to the World shopping center collapsed as well.

BBC talks about the destruction of WTC 7

However, at some point, apparently, the TV people realized what had happened, and at 17:14 the picture of the broadcast from New York was suddenly distorted by interference, and after a few seconds it completely disappeared.

How else to explain this incredible "glitch" if not the presence of a pre-written script? Is it possible that the building was planned to be demolished a little earlier, but London simply did not have time to bring information about the delay in this mise-en-scene of the performance, and the British continued to follow the script. So they got the press release before all this happened? But from whom and how?

Of course, such an incident caused a lot of questions to the BBC channel. However, head of news Richard Porter explained this mysterious story: “We are not part of a conspiracy. No one told us what to talk about and what to do on 9/11. No one told us in advance that the building was about to fall. We haven't received a press release or a script for what's to come."

It turns out that if no one told them anything in advance, it means that they themselves, on their own initiative, told about the collapse of the building, which will happen in 20 minutes. But we read further: "We don't have the original recording of the 9/11 reports - not because of a conspiracy, but because of confusion." A news recording of one of the most important days in the history of the channel was suddenly lost.

Dead "terrorists" turned out to be alive

Official list of "hijackers"

The list was accompanied by the following comment: “The FBI has absolute confidence in the accuracy of the identification of the nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In addition, the 9/11 investigations were scrutinized by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States, and jointly by the Senate and House of Representatives. None of these checks raised the slightest doubt about the identity of the nineteen hijackers."

On September 23, 2001, the British BBC news agency unexpectedly reported that Walid al-Shehri, a Saudi citizen and named hijacker of Flight AA11, is now alive, well and doing well in Casablanca, Morocco. The Saudi Embassy confirmed that he attended flight school in Daytona Beach, Florida. He left the US in September 2000 and works for Royal Air Morocco. This is further confirmed by the Associated Press, according to which Walid al-Shehri appeared at the American embassy in Morocco: “The FBI released his photograph, which was circulated in newspapers and television news around the world. This same Mr. al-Shehri showed up in Morocco, thus proving that he was not a member of the suicide pilot team.” So, minus one.

Wail al-Shehri (AA11) is also alive and well. He is a pilot and his father is a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Bombay. The Los Angeles Times, in an article dated September 21, 2001, reports that the head information center Embassy of Saudi Arabia in the United States Gaafar Allagani confirmed that he personally spoke with both father and son. So minus two.

Abdulaziz al-Omari (AA11) lost his passport while studying in Denver, which he reported to the police at the time. He now works as an engineer at Saudi Telecom. The Telegraph on September 23, 2001 quoted him as saying: “I couldn't believe it when I saw myself on the FBI list. They showed my name, my photo and my date of birth, but I'm not a suicide bomber. I'm here. I'm alive. I have no idea how to fly a plane. I had nothing to do with any of this." So minus three.

Said al-Ghamdi (UA93), a Saudi Airlines pilot, was in Tunisia during the events of 9/11, where he was taking an Airbus 320 flight course with 22 other pilots. The Telegraph quotes him as saying: “The FBI has provided no evidence of my involvement in the attacks. You have no idea what it's like to be labeled a dead terrorist when I'm alive and innocent." Total, minus four.

Ahmed al-Nami (UA93) works as an office manager for Saudi Airlines in Riyadh: “As you can see, I'm alive. I was shocked to see my name on the [terrorist] lists. I've never heard of Pennsylvania, where I happen to have hijacked a plane." Total minus five.

Salem al-Hamzi (AA77) works at a chemical plant in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia: "I've never been to the US and haven't been out of Saudi Arabia for the last two years." Total, minus six.

Khalid al-Midhar (AA77) - programmer in Mecca, Saudi Arabia: "I like to think that this is some kind of mistake." According to the Chicago Tribune, he was watching TV when his friends started calling him and asking if he was alive. Total, minus seven.

According to the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in the United States, Mohand al-Shehri (UA175) and Satam al-Sukami (AA11) are also alive and well. In total, minus nine.

And only on September 23, 2001, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, stated: "There are doubts about the identities of some of the hijackers. There is no legal evidence confirming the identities of the hijackers."
But despite the obvious falsification with the names of "terrorists", the same 19 original names appear in the official report of the Keane Commission.

Fake Bin Laden

And since now there is no evidence of the involvement of the "hijackers" in the attacks, it means that Al-Qaeda seems to have nothing to do with it, and there is no need to bomb Afghanistan.

But within a few days of the fall of the skyscrapers, a video of Osama bin Laden's confession dated December 14, 2001 "suddenly" appears at the disposal of the United States. She was allegedly found in a house in Jalalabad. And it is this record that forms the basis of the final conclusion of the official commission - the 9/11 attacks were carried out by Osama bin Laden and, of course, Al-Qaeda.

But what immediately attracts attention is that this video is of very low quality. And the man himself, who, according to the FBI, is bin Laden, does not look like him at all, and this is clearly visible even despite the poor quality. It is more dense, it has a different shape of the nose, lips, eyebrows and cheekbones. The FBI file says that bin Laden is left-handed, but the video shows him writing something with his right hand. In addition, on his finger it is distinguishable Golden ring, and Islam, as you know, forbids a man to wear gold jewelry, and there is not a word about this in the dossier on bin Laden.

Two Bin Ladens

The photo shows two bin Ladens: on the left is an impersonator from the Jalalabad video, on the right is the real one. Even with the naked eye, you can see that the frame from the video and the photo are two completely different people, and the only similarities between them are a beard and a turban. And again, the fantastic arrogance of the American intelligence services, which did not even bother with such a "trifle" as the use of someone even slightly like the real bin Laden, is striking.

In the end, realizing that bin Laden was also a blunder, the head of the FBI investigative department, Rex Tomb, admitted: “The 9/11 attacks do not appear in Osama bin Laden’s file, since there is no evidence of his involvement in the events of 9/11.” .

On March 29, 2006, Vice President Richard Cheney also split: “We have never claimed that Osama bin Laden had anything to do with the events of 9/11. We've never had conclusive evidence."

However, in the official report of the Keene Commission, Osama bin Laden remained the main character, and the main material evidence is the already refuted video fake.

How evidence was destroyed

The steel left after the destruction of the frames of the WTC towers was hastily sent for processing, not even allowing investigators to access it. More than 185 thousand tons of steel were eliminated from the "epicenter". Firefighters reported to the US Congress that about 80% (!) of the steel fragments were removed, and the investigators could not even demand that the remains be kept for analysis. In particular, the Chinese corporation Shanghai Baosteel Group purchased fifty thousand tons of steel from the collapse of the World Trade Center in the form of scrap at a price of $120 per ton. Thousands of tons of steel were sent for processing to India.

Such actions caused a wave of indignation among independent researchers and the families of the victims, but the newly minted mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, who replaced Rudolph Giuliani from this post in late 2001, replied that there were other ways to investigate the tragedy. 11 September. He also remarked that "simply looking at a piece of metal won't tell you anything."

Despite the protests of everyone who wanted to look at these "pieces of metal", the export of scrap was in full swing. The official reason for such a rush was that it was "completely useless rubbish that only gets in the way." Apparently, this "garbage" was so "useless" that its removal took place under the strictest control, and the trucks that took out the steel fragments from the "epicenter" area were equipped with expensive tracking devices so that, God forbid, this completely useless garbage did not turn out to be anywhere but smelting furnaces. The steel was removed from the “crime scene” at such a high speed that even a specially created government commission BPAT (Building Performance Assessment Team - Commission for Evaluating the Structural Characteristics of a Building), having only had the opportunity to look at the remains, had no right to either study these very remains or familiarize themselves with building plans. Which, in fact, calls into question the very meaning of the creation of this commission.

Fire Engineering Magazine Editor-in-Chief Bill Manning, on behalf of the firefighters, expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of government organizations to destroy evidence and completely exclude independent researchers from studying them: “We have reason to believe that “official investigations” ... are not nothing more than a blatant farce imposed on us by political forces whose main interests, to put it mildly, are very far from revealing the truth ... The destruction of evidence must stop immediately.”

Manning also stressed that the destruction of this steel is illegal: "According to the national standard for fire investigation, all evidence of any fires in buildings over 10 stories must be preserved, and there are no exceptions to this rule."

And on September 26, 2001, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani banned all video and photography in the "epicenter" area. One photographer, who chose not to be named, had his digital camera images erased by police and threatened with arrest if he showed up again, but he was able to recover the erased images using PhotoRescue software.

As a result, everything that could shed light on the “9/11 terrorist attack” was very quickly destroyed and not a single expert could get acquainted with the “material evidence”.

Consequences of the attacks

Less than two weeks after September 11, a very interesting piece of legislation (the so-called Patriot Act) was presented to Congress for approval, and in just a month it became law. And in early October 2001, the American invasion of Afghanistan began. This is an unprecedented pace of decision-making, preparation for their implementation and actual implementation. But the essence of these very measures causes a large number of questions.

Consideration of the so-called anti-terrorism bill, called the Patriot Act, began on September 24, 2001. This draft law turned out to be very remarkable both in terms of content and methods of its implementation.

First, it came to Congress for consideration by bypassing the channels prescribed by law, that is, without its preliminary discussion under the authority of the Office of Administration and Budget.

Secondly, then Attorney General John Ashcroft demanded that Congress pass it within one week and no change. Despite such strict and specific instructions, the controversial document still caused some discussion - to the obvious displeasure of the minister. Realizing that it would not be so easy to “push through” the bill, Ashcroft, at a joint meeting with the heads of the Senate and the House of Representatives, warned that new terrorist attacks were surely coming, and Congress would be to blame if the law was not passed immediately. It was clear blackmail, and the very statement seemed absurd, but the Congress was not ready to withstand such pressure from the minister.

Just in case, in order to finally “push” the passage of this act, two especially stubborn congressmen - Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, who actively opposed, received envelopes with anthrax spores in the mail ...

Republican Congressman Ron Paul told the Washington Times in an interview that not a single congressman was even allowed to read the act. However, on October 12, it was approved by both houses of Congress, and on October 26, 2001, President Bush put his signature on the document, thereby giving the Patriot Act the status of law.

What is the meaning of the Patriot Act? Firstly, this act gives the right to federal employees to search homes, workplaces, computers and private property of citizens either without notifying them at all, or with post factum notification when the search has already been carried out.

Secondly, the CIA received an unlimited opportunity, without a court order, to establish surveillance of its citizens, if this is done "for intelligence purposes." This includes wiretapping and tracking the user's Internet activity. Incidentally, up to this point, the CIA's mission had been to carry out intelligence activities exclusively with respect to foreign "elements."

Thirdly, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have the right to request medical, financial and academic records and government archives for any person, only by presenting a warrant, which the court is required to issue if it is required for an investigation in order to protect against "international terrorism". At the same time, sufficient grounds for a search are not even required, and the organization to which the warrant is presented does not have the right to tell anyone that the FBI has requested this data. Including the one whose data was requested!

Fourthly, freedom of speech is de facto limited, because any careless phrase can now be regarded as a terrorist plot. According to this act, domestic terrorism includes "actions that are exchanged as attempts, through threats or violence, to influence the political course of the state." As you can see, the concept of "domestic terrorism" is defined so vaguely that almost any political or other activist group (Greenpeace, for example) can fall under this definition. And anyone who disagrees with the actions of the government is also not immune from this. In addition to these acts, there were several more directives of a similar nature.

P.S. And this is only a small part of the “evidence” found in the “most credible” official investigation into the 9/11 tragedy. But even this, in my opinion, is quite enough to understand by what methods the United States is moving towards its goals, having destroyed more than three thousand Americans. In continuation of the investigation, I will talk about the mysterious plane that crashed into the Pentagon and mysteriously disappeared, and about the other, no less mysterious planes of that terrible day - September 11, 2001.

May 25, 2017, 11:11 am

The Federal Bureau of Investigation for the first time presented 27 photographs of the Pentagon taken on September 11, 2001 - after a plane hijacked by terrorists crashed into the agency.

According to the official story, four groups of al-Qaeda members hijacked four passenger aircraft. Five terrorists took control of American Airlines Flight 77, flying from Washington to Los Angeles - at that moment the plane was over Eastern Kentucky. The airliner turned back to Washington and attacked the military department of the Pentagon. As a result of this disaster, about 200 people were injured, and almost 3,000 from all the attacks on September 11th.

The wreckage of American Airlines Flight 77.

Today, most people understand what a plane crash site should look like. The crash site should be densely strewn with debris from the aircraft, from the tail to the engine. However, the 9/11 plane crash site is completely unlike anything else like it. In fact, nothing at all, except for some small debris, does not indicate that it was the plane that fell here.

A transcript of the conversations of a CNN reporter who arrived at the crash site of Flight 77 at the Pentagon building a few minutes after the incident is given: “A close examination of the alleged crash site indicates that no pieces of equipment were found near the Pentagon. The only sign is a huge hole in the building, however, as I said, there is no debris - only small pieces that you can take in your hand. There are no large fragments of the tail section of the aircraft, wings, fuselage, nothing indicates that an entire aircraft crashed into the Pentagon.

Firefighters put out the fire.

The official version is that the intense heat from the collision vaporized the entire plane, even the engines, despite being made of an alloy of steel and titanium, measuring 2.75 meters in diameter, 3.65 meters in length and weighing six tons each. Could the engines have broken into tiny pieces as a result of the collision?

Is it possible that an aircraft made of duralumin alloys and with a carbon-fiber front fuselage fairing pierced through three huge buildings made of reinforced concrete and brick?

So what really happened at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001? The reality is that we will most likely never know what really happened at the Pentagon that morning. Like the towers of the World Trade Center, all evidence was quickly swept away by bulldozers. And even if they were left, we still wouldn't know what secrets are buried under the rubble. We are talking, after all, about the Pentagon, and this is not the place where a truly independent researcher could go and look around.

About 150 witness reports have been published to date, and about a third of those witnesses claim to have seen something crash into the Pentagon. Most of the evidence does not exactly match the official version. Indeed, perhaps the most surprising thing about eyewitness accounts of the attack on the Pentagon is that there are not many of them, given the scale of the event.

However, even through the fog, one very obvious conclusion can be drawn: it was not a Boeing 757 passenger plane that caused the destruction at the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, 2001. After all, what evidence supports the official version? A small number of eyewitness accounts, but they are contradicted by other evidence, as well as almost all photographic evidence. In addition to eyewitness accounts, there is the extremely dubious and unverifiable forensic identification of the passengers. And then there's the official damage report, which is supposed to support the official story, but it actually lists damage that could in no way have been caused by a passenger plane. The only remaining pieces of evidence that support the official story are the notorious sheared lampposts and widely displayed photographs that allegedly show the wreckage of the aircraft inside and outside the Pentagon.

So what hit the Pentagon that morning? Did American Airlines Flight 77, missing from the radar screens for half an hour and unnoticed by the most modern American air defense system, suddenly and inexplicably appear in the sky over Washington? Did he really then perform a high-speed maneuver, normally beyond the capabilities of a Boeing 757 (according to some eyewitnesses), and begin approaching the Pentagon at high speed and at such a ridiculous low altitude that cut off the car antenna? Had it really neatly twisted five stout steel lampposts and slammed one of its wings into a large generator and still maintained a straight and perfectly steady approach to the Pentagon like an arrow? And did he really then slam into the Pentagon with such tremendous force that he was able to pierce through more than 300 feet of angled reinforced concrete obstacles? And he did all this in such a way that no one filmed a single frame on film or videotape?

On September 11, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks were carried out in the United States, which resulted in the death of 2977 people. According to the official version, the devastating attacks were carried out by members of the al-Qaeda* group, but there are facts that can refute the generally accepted point of view.

Fast Version

This is the official version of what happened. Early on the morning of September 11, 2001, four passenger Boeings were hijacked mid-air by Arab terrorists. The hijackers were armed only with clerical knives and gas cartridges. Two aircraft attacked the twin towers of the World Trade Center, located in the southern part of Manhattan, the third plane was sent to the Pentagon building, the fourth did not reach the Capitol and crashed in the middle of a field in Pennsylvania.

This version was formed just a few days after the tragedy, and the American government has not changed it again. Such hasty conclusions suggest that Washington was preparing for this in advance.

We have already encountered a situation where the White House "knew for sure" that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, Muammar Gaddafi was sponsoring international terrorism, and Bashar al-Assad was using chemical weapons.

None of these allegations have ever been substantiated. However, these suspicions have become a pretext for the US-sanctioned use of military forces in Iraq, Libya and Syria. It is expected that after the events of September 11, the Americans stepped up military operations in Afghanistan.

Immediately after the explosions, the head of Al Qaeda * Osama bin Laden declared his non-involvement in the attacks. Unusual behavior for a man who has always been happy to take responsibility for the terrorist attacks he was involved in. Later, bin Laden nevertheless admitted his involvement in the events of September 11, however, according to some, this was a person only similar to the leader of Al Qaeda *.

Strange destruction

Probably, not everyone knows that during the attack on New York, three buildings of the World Trade Center (WTC) collapsed. In addition to the well-known twin towers No. 1 and No. 2, there was also a skyscraper No. 7. The government commission set up to investigate the events of September 11 preferred to keep silent about this fact. House number 7 is a 47-story high-rise, noticeably inferior to its twin brothers in growth.

In particular, it housed the New York branch of the CIA headquarters. This building avoided being hit by an aircraft, but by 5 pm it collapsed in the same way as the twin towers.

According to authorities, the cause of the collapse of the building was burning fragments that fell on it from collapsing skyscrapers, as well as the ensuing fire. However, WTC buildings numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6 were much closer to the towers, and they all survived. Maybe the fall of the 7th house had another reason?

As for the twin towers, researchers are still concerned about a curious question: why did not only the upper floors of the building collapse, but also the lower ones? The official version is inexorable: when the building was destroyed, the top carried away the rest of it.

However, here too there is a problem. Parts of the tower structure did not fall in different directions, but formed right under the base, like a house of cards.

The designers of the World Trade Center unanimously declare that when building skyscrapers, the possible hit of an aircraft was taken into account, as is the case with all skyscrapers. If a catastrophic scenario does occur, then, they say, it cannot lead to devastating consequences of this magnitude.

The footage of the disaster clearly shows that the planes crash into buildings in completely different ways: the liner “entered” the northern tower right in the center, the southern one at an acute angle, cutting off the edge of the skyscraper. At the same time, the destruction of the towers was surprisingly uniform and symmetrical, as in a prepared explosion. And then a strange thing happens: the south tower, less affected by the explosion, collapses first, and only half an hour later the north tower falls, where the consequences of the disaster should have been more impressive.

Experts analyzed the video of the collapse of the towers and almost unanimously stated that this is how the industrial demolition of buildings takes place. Indeed, if you carefully look at the slow-motion footage of the disaster, you can see how explosive waves run through the entire height of the building at equal distances - as if a pre-laid charge had detonated.

Here are two more facts that will make you think. Shortly before the attack, the floors into which the planes subsequently flew were closed for repairs. And a few weeks before the tragedy, the owner of the twin towers, Larry Silverstein, insured them for $ 3 billion, and insurance against terrorist attacks was prescribed as a separate item.

Electoral fire

According to the official conclusions, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel structures melted in a monstrous fire, and hundreds of tons of concrete were erased into dust.

Is it possible that ignited aviation kerosene, the combustion temperature of which is less than 1000 ° C, caused hardened steel to “tremble”, which melts at no less than 2000 ° C. At the same time, there was a critical loss of strength of 50 massive load-bearing beams at once, which is possible only if the fuel is evenly spilled over all areas of the floor.

As a result of the explosions, charred and unrecognizable body particles remained from the passengers of both Boeings. Meanwhile, the passport of Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers, which became one of the main pieces of evidence in favor of the guilt of al-Qaeda *, turned out to be completely unscathed. According to the commission, the document miraculously survived a powerful explosion, fell out of the plane and landed safely near the building.

The US government was in such a hurry to come to the right conclusion that it was not even going to pay attention to such incidents. Further more.

The Commission of Inquiry announced the identification of some of the passengers and crew members of the aircraft by the "remains of DNA." And this is after the fire actually completely destroyed the body of the liner, made of aircraft-grade aluminum resistant to high temperatures.

It is curious that despite the “remnants of DNA” preserved in a fantastic way, the black boxes were recognized as completely destroyed by fire. Looking at this, it only remains to believe that the fire acted selectively, completely not guided by the laws of the physical world.

No trace

The third hijacked Boeing, flying American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon, according to official figures. In order to inflict the most sensitive damage to the building and people, the terrorists sent the liner along the lowest possible trajectory. It is known that the height of the Boeing 757 is 13 meters, the Pentagon - 24 meters.

Based on this, the final kilometers of the flight of the liner had to pass at a height of only a few meters above the ground, which is an almost impossible task for pilots who have just completed express courses.

Moreover, such a maneuver was absolutely unjustified, since, according to many experts, it would not lead to such damage as when falling at an angle. In this case, it would be difficult even for an inexperienced pilot to miss, given the impressive area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe Pentagon - 117,363 sq.m. It turns out that the terrorists, who carefully planned the attack, chose a more complicated and less effective path.

However, the main incident is ahead. Independent researchers who studied photographs of the disaster were alerted by the fact that the Boeing did not leave traces of the wings when it hit the building. Their fragments were not found nearby either. Moreover, even inside the destroyed section of the building there were no hints of aircraft fragments. According to official findings, they were all destroyed powerful explosion and fire, which is very doubtful.

All of these facts suggest another reason for the destruction in the Pentagon - a planned explosion. But if we assume that the Boeing 757 did not crash into the Pentagon, where did the car itself disappear with the passengers and crew of this ill-fated flight?

As for the fourth "Boeing", which did not reach the Capitol and crashed in the fields of Pennsylvania, it is the least of all questions. However, there are still inconsistencies. Authorities claim the ground impact was the cause of the deaths, but no significant number of aircraft fragments have been found at the alleged crash site. Eyewitnesses say that the wreckage was scattered for many kilometers. According to the assumption of researchers who do not share the official point of view, the liner could have been hit in the air by a rocket fired from a fighter.

The official version says that the passengers, having contacted their relatives by mobile phones, learned that two planes had already crashed into buildings in Manhattan and decided to prevent the hijackers' plans. It was as a result of the struggle ensued on board that the plane went off course and went into a steep dive. However, experts say that the ability to use cellular communications in flight has appeared only since 2005.

Avoid inconsistencies

Everything in this story is alarming, including the behavior of top American officials. For example, President George W. Bush for a long time ignored the invitation to speak before Congress, but when he agreed to a meeting, he set conditions that seemed to be incomprehensible at first glance. He insisted on limiting the conversation in time - no more than an hour and the obligatory invitation to the event of Vice President Dick Cheney. At the request of the head of the White House, only two people were to be present from the commission investigating the tragedy.

After a long debate, it was still possible to agree on the participation of 10 members of the commission and remove the time limit. During the meeting, everyone expected to hear from the president exhaustive, and most importantly, reliable information about what had happened, but everything turned out to be much more complicated. Bush did not allow the meeting to be videotaped, audiotaped, or even transcribed. In addition, Bush and Cheney refused to take an oath that could assure listeners of the veracity of what was said.

In April 2004, the performance finally took place. However, to this day it is not known what Bush and Cheney said to the congressmen. Many draw attention to the absurdity of this situation. It looks like this if one witness agreed to speak in court only in the presence of another witness. Why is this needed? Probably in order to avoid inconsistency in testifying.

Every year, the belief grows stronger in the world that the attacks were planned by the US intelligence agencies in order to justify the actions of the US military in the Middle East. But it is premature to draw final conclusions. So far, we can say with certainty only the following: if the US authorities did not stage the attacks themselves, then at least they did not interfere with their planning.

* Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group, banned in the territory of the Russian Federation

(average: 4,94 out of 5)

This September 11, 2001 in the USA(in the West, simply 9/11) is considered the bloodiest in all of world history. The most media-covered event of all time.

10 years ago, three terrorist-controlled planes crashed into the Pentagon near Washington DC and into the 110-story skyscrapers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York, causing them to collapse. As a result of terrorist attacks, 2,977 citizens from 92 countries died.

According to the official version, the responsibility for these attacks lies with the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda. Subsequently official version what happened was criticized by a number of journalists, scientists and witnesses of the tragedy.

Independent investigations were carried out, some of which were withdrawn documentaries. According to one version, the attack on the twin towers was just a distraction, and customers should be sought not among Afghan terrorists and not in Osama bin Laden's lair, but much closer - surrounded by the US president.

The events of September 11, 2001 unfolded as follows. At about the same time, terrorists hijacked 4 airliners some time after departure.

After the capture, some passengers were able to report on satellite phones about what was happening. According to them, the terrorists used edged weapons (probably knives), as a result of which several flight attendants and crew members were killed.

It is likely that the terrorists, who were losing the fight, decided to send the plane into the ground, where the crash occurred.

20. But back to the burning skyscrapers of the World Trade Center. The main events unfolded there. (Photo by Mario Tama | Getty Images):

According to the official version, about an hour after the skyscrapers crashed into the skyscrapers, buildings collapsed as a result of fire and melting of the supporting steel structures by burning aviation fuel.

The official version has been criticized by many experts who believe that the use of aviation fuel to melt 200,000 tons of steel (the amount of steel in one Tower) is an amazing discovery.

Other theories call into question that the nature of the collapse of the WTC towers corresponds to that which could be caused by aircraft hits and fires. The destruction of the towers is said to be more like controlled demolition. It has also been suggested that the September 11, 2001 attacks were not planned and carried out by al-Qaeda, but by US intelligence agencies.

International opinion, according to a survey conducted in 17 countries, paints such a picture. Overall, 46% of those polled place the main responsibility on al-Qaeda, 15% on the US government, 7% on Israel, and another 7% name other perpetrators. We will not delve into this topic. Those interested in these events can find materials on the net.

The ongoing events have caused chaos throughout the United States. All commercial flights were canceled, landing of aircraft in the United States was prohibited. Aircraft arriving from other countries were diverted back to their departure airports, or were directed to airports in Canada and Mexico. Above major cities The United States was patrolled by Air Force fighter jets.

47. The ruins of the World Trade Center, September 11, 2001. (Photo by Doug Kanter | AFP | Getty Images):

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 people (not including 19 terrorists) became victims: 246 passengers and crew members of aircraft, 2,606 people - in New York, in the WTC buildings and on the ground, 125 - in the Pentagon building. Citizens of the United States and 91 other countries died, including 96 citizens of Russia and the CIS.

When the skyscrapers of the World Trade Center were destroyed, about 16,000 people were saved, who were in the towers below the impact zone of the aircraft. Most of them survived, being evacuated before the destruction of buildings.

A memorial complex was erected on the site of the collapsed twin towers. Currently, the complex is being reconstructed, which is planned to be completed by 2012.

It's been 16 years since that day, Nine-Eleven, when Three skyscrapers collapse in New York. No, I'm not wrong. Not two, but three, but for some reason they prefer not to remember the third. And when the third plane crashed into the repaired wing of the Pentagon, and in a strange way almost self-destructed and another fell in the desert. And this is not all the mysteries of the tragedy that happened.

So, on the morning of September 11, 2001, four Boeing planes (two in Boston, one in Washington and another in Newark) were hijacked by some unknown persons, after which the first two planes crashed into the New York skyscrapers WTC-1 and WTC-2, the third hit the wall of the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The two towers of the World Trade Center, attacked by planes, suddenly completely collapsed in a very strange way within an hour and a half, neatly folding inward. Also for some reason completely and neatly collapsed and the neighboring skyscraper WTC 7, although no aircraft hit it.

Only a few days passed after the “acts of terrorism” when the first official version of everything that happened was ready and the perpetrators were named. Osama bin Laden, who led this action from Afghanistan, and, of course, his offspring al-Qaeda, were immediately blamed. Also, the names of all 19 hijackers who abandoned their cars near the airports, in which they found the Koran and instructions in Arabic “How to fly an airplane”, and miraculously found the passports of “terrorists” in the wreckage of the planes. It followed from this that it was urgent to start bombing Afghanistan and invading Iraq.

In the fall of 2002, a special commission was created under the loud name "National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States". It was chaired by former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean. The commission included former employees of the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice and other government agencies. Philip Zelikow, a member of the administration of President Bush Jr., who also worked under Bush Sr., led all the actions and the course of the investigation.

The official version mentioned above took its final form on July 22, 2004, when the above-mentioned commission consisting of 83 people completed the report on 585 pages. The Keene Commission report confirmed the above version, which even now remains the only and irrefutable one.

And now let's bring some facts, showing how the US intelligence services are able to "investigate" and get the desired and obviously announced results.

Cell Phones

The official report claims that all information from the Boeing that crashed into the WTC skyscraper was transmitted to the ground via mobile phones. In particular, flight attendant Betty Ong talked for 23 minutes and flight attendant Madeline Sweeney for 25 minutes. Sweeney's last words were: "I see water! I see buildings! .

The fact is that when the phone enters the broadcast area of ​​the base station, or "cell", the so-called "greeting" occurs, which in 2001 took at least eight seconds. The "welcome" system was not designed for driving at a speed of 700 km / h and is possible at a maximum speed of 150 km / h. And only in 2004, Qualcomm, together with American Airlines, developed a system that, using satellite, provides calls to cell phones from an aircraft on which a special mobile base station is installed. On July 15, 2004, a test run of the system was made, after which it began to function.

Cheating with speed

The official report of the Keene Commission provides a diagram of the alleged movement of Flight 175, which crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center, according to which the plane overcame the final straight section from the city of Trenton to New York in four minutes.

And now the fact: The distance between Trenton and New York in a straight line is 85 kilometers. For good measure, you can even consider it equal to 80. According to official data, the plane covered this distance in 4 minutes. Let's find the average speed of the liner in this section: V = 80 km / 4 min = 20 km/min = 1200 km/h. Get the speed of sound.

Of course, the Boeing 767 was not supersonic. The technical characteristics of the Boeing 767-200 say that its maximum cruising speed at an altitude of 12 km is 915 km/h. And this is only at an altitude of 12,000 meters, where the air density is five times lower than at sea level, and the liner flew into the building at an altitude of several hundred meters. The same technical specifications say that the maximum allowable speed of the Boeing 767-200 (the so-called Vne - Velocity Never Exceed), exceeding which the aircraft will simply begin to collapse, is 0.86 the speed of sound, that is, about 1000 km / h. Therefore, even if the plane still managed to develop the speed of sound, it would have crumbled long before Manhattan. That is, the official investigation invites everyone to believe in what is physically impossible. So, another lie of the official investigation.

"Twins" could not collapse on their own

According to the official report, the 100-story skyscraper WTC-1 completely collapsed 1 hour 42 minutes after the plane hit, and its twin WTC-2 - 56 minutes later. The reason, of course, is indicated as follows - the impact and the subsequent fire that occurred after the Boeings hit the buildings.

But here some more surprising facts appear.

It turns out that the "Gemini" were designed so that, in addition to the wind load, they could withstand Boeing 707 frontal impact, the largest passenger airliner in those years. In the early 1970s, Leslie Robertson, who built the buildings, calculated the effect of a Boeing 707 colliding with the WTC tower. He reported the results to the New York Times, arguing that the towers would withstand the impact of an airliner flying at a speed of 960 km / h, that is, having taken the impact of the liner, the skyscraper would remain standing without undergoing serious structural damage. In other words, the central frame and the remaining standing perimeter will withstand the additional load resulting from the absence of the demolished part of the supporting structures. It was with such a margin of safety that the "twins" were built.

Frank DeMartini, one of the leaders of the WTC project, confirms this idea: the building is designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 with maximum takeoff weight. It was the largest aircraft of that time. I'm sure the building would have withstood even a few hits from planes, because its structure resembled a fine mosquito net, and the plane is like a pencil that pierces this net and does not affect the structure of the rest of it.

The fire also could not destroy the skyscrapers. Here is evidence that the official report is lying again:

So, the WTC-1 building withstood the first blow. However, in the next hour and a half, something happened as a result of the fire, which provoked the collapse of the tower. By the way, this is the first and only case in world history when a skyscraper actually turns into a pile of ruins as a result of an hour and a half fire - this is according to the official version.

In the mid-1990s, two British firms - British Steel and Building Research Establishment - conducted a series of experiments in the city of Cardington to determine the effect of fires on steel-framed structures. On the experimental model of an eight-story building, the steel structures did not have fire protection. Despite the fact that the temperature of the steel beams reached 900 °C (!) with a critically permissible maximum of 600 °C, in none of the six experiments did failure occur, although certain deformations did occur.

In August 2005, John R. Hall Jr. of the National Fire Protection Association of the United States, published the analytical paper "Fires in Tall Structures". In particular, it provides statistics according to which, in 2002 alone, 7,300 fires occurred in high-rise buildings, many of which were very intense and lasted for many hours, having managed to absorb more than one floor. Despite casualties and significant damage, none of these fires resulted in collapses.

If that's not enough, here are a few more specific examples of some of the worst fires in recent decades:

On February 23, 1991, a fire broke out in the 38-story One Meridian Plaza building in Philadelphia. The fire started on the 22nd floor, engulfed 8 floors and lasted 18 hours. As a result of this fire, a lot of glass was broken, granite cracked and load-bearing walls sank. Nevertheless, the building survived and not a single part of it collapsed.

On May 4, 1988, the 62-story First Interstate Bank building in Los Angeles caught fire. The fire lasted 3.5 hours, 4.5 floors burned out - from the 12th to the 16th. But the load-bearing structures survived completely, and secondary structures and several floors between floors received only minor damage. The building survived.

On August 5, 1970, the 50-story building 1 New York Plaza exploded and started a fire that lasted six hours. There were no collapses.

On October 17, 2004, a skyscraper in the Venezuelan city of Caracas caught fire. The fire broke out at the level of the 34th floor, covered 26 (!) floors and lasted 17 hours. The building survived.

And, finally, a fire in that same New York World Trade Center. February 13, 1975 year, a fire broke out in the north tower on the 11th floor, as a result of which 65% of the floor burned out completely. In addition, the fire spread down to the 9th and up to the 16th floors, but did not affect the office premises and was limited to shafts inside the central frame. The fire lasted three hours, and despite its much higher intensity than September 11, 2001, the structure of the building was not damaged. Not only the central frame remained absolutely unscathed, inside which the fire mainly spread, but also all the interfloor ceilings.

WTC fire in 1975

And the 47-storey "WTC 7" collapsed by itself ... by accident.

The official report claims that the WTC-7 "collapsed" due to the weakening of the supporting structures, despite the fact that no aircraft hit it.

On the demolition of building No. 7 of the World Trade Center As it turned out, very few knew at all. Its destruction somehow passed unnoticed against the background of the rest of the events of that day. This 47-story skyscraper, also called Salomon Brothers, housed the offices of the FBI, the Department of Defense, the 1RS tax service (according to Online Journal, with a huge amount of compromising evidence, including the infamous Enron), counterintelligence United States, the stock exchange (with evidence of stock fraud), and various financial institutions. Its collapse occurred at approximately 17:20 New York time, and several rather curious incidents are associated with it at once.

FEMA claims that this building collapsed for the same reasons as the "twins" - due to the weakening of the supporting structures. But why? The plane did not hit him. Fires did not rage in it - only in three places there were small local fires: on the seventh, twelfth and twenty-ninth floors. If we recall the scheme of the entire World Trade Center, then building No. 7 is the most remote from the "epicenter", separated from the main complex by a street. Where is his injury from? The report is silent on this.

Such a small fire allegedly caused the complete destruction of the WTC-7 building

And the most "truthful" thing in the world, the BBC even reported about the collapse of WTC-7 in advance.

Indeed, the reportage of the British television channel BBC BBC (BBC) looks unique. In a TV news broadcast that aired at 10:00 London time, that is, at 17:00 New York time, the presenter told viewers that the WTC-7 building in New York had collapsed. But there were still 20 minutes before it collapsed.. Moreover, the correspondent of the channel Jane Standley (Jane Standley), in her live report from New York, talked about the collapse of the WTC-7, being at the same time against its background. A rare photo shows just this moment - the WTC-7 building is indicated by arrows. The caption at the bottom of the screen reads: "The 47-story Salomon Brothers building next to the World Trade Center also collapsed."

BBC talks about the destruction of WTC 7

However, at some point, apparently, the TV people realized what had happened, and at 17:14 the picture of the broadcast from New York was suddenly distorted by interference, and after a few seconds it completely disappeared.

How else to explain this incredible "blunder", if not the presence a pre-written script? Is it possible that the building was planned to be demolished a little earlier, but London simply did not have time to bring information about the delay in this mise-en-scene of the performance, and the British continued to follow the script. So they got the press release before all this happened? But from whom and how?

Of course, such an incident caused a lot of questions to the BBC channel. However, head of news Richard Porter explained the mystery story this way: We are not part of a conspiracy. No one told us what to talk about and what to do on 9/11. No one told us in advance that the building was about to fall. We have not received a press release or a script for what is to come.».

It turns out that if no one told them anything in advance, it means that they themselves, on their own initiative, told about the collapse of the building, which will happen in 20 minutes. But we read further: "We do not have the original recording of the reports from September 11 - not because of a conspiracy, but because of confusion." A news recording of one of the most important days in the history of the channel was suddenly lost.

Dead "terrorists" turned out to be alive

Official list of "hijackers"

The list was accompanied by the following comment: “The FBI has absolute confidence in the accuracy of the identification of the nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In addition, the 9/11 investigations were scrutinized by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States, and jointly by the Senate and House of Representatives. None of these checks raised the slightest doubt about the identity of the nineteen hijackers."

On September 23, 2001, the British BBC news agency unexpectedly reported that Walid al-Shehri, a Saudi national and named hijacker of Flight AA11, currently alive, well and doing great in Casablanca, Morocco. The Saudi Embassy confirmed that he attended flight school in Daytona Beach, Florida. He left the US in September 2000 and works for Royal Air Morocco. This is further confirmed by the Associated Press, according to which Walid al-Shehri appeared at the American embassy in Morocco: “The FBI released his photograph, which was circulated in newspapers and television news around the world. This same Mr. al-Shehri showed up in Morocco, thus proving that he was not a member of the suicide pilot team. Total minus one.

Wail al-Shehri (AA11) is also alive and well. He is a pilot and his father is a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Bombay. The Los Angeles Times, in an article dated September 21, 2001, reports that the head of the information center of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in the United States, Gaafar Allaghani, confirmed that he personally spoke to both father and son. Total minus two.

Abdulaziz al-Omari (AA11) lost his passport while studying in Denver, which he reported to the police at the time. He now works as an engineer at Saudi Telecom. The Telegraph on September 23, 2001 quoted him as saying: “I couldn't believe it when I saw myself on the FBI list. They showed my name, my photo and my date of birth, but I'm not a suicide bomber. I'm here. I'm alive. I have no idea how to fly a plane. I had nothing to do with any of this." Total minus three.

Said al-Ghamdi (UA93), a Saudi Airlines pilot, was in Tunisia during the events of 9/11, where he was taking an Airbus 320 flight course with 22 other pilots. The Telegraph quotes him as saying: “The FBI has provided no evidence of my involvement in the attacks. You have no idea what it's like to be labeled a dead terrorist when I'm alive and innocent." Total minus four.

Ahmed al-Nami (UA93) works as an office manager for Saudi Airlines in Riyadh: “As you can see, I'm alive. I was shocked to see my name on the [terrorist] lists. I've never heard of Pennsylvania, where I happen to have hijacked a plane." Total minus five.

Salem al-Hamzi (AA77) works at a chemical plant in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia: "I've never been to the US and haven't been out of Saudi Arabia for the last two years." Total minus six.

Khalid al-Midhar (AA77) is a programmer in Mecca, Saudi Arabia: "I like to think that this is some kind of mistake." According to the Chicago Tribune, he was watching TV when his friends started calling him and asking if he was alive. Total minus seven.

P.S. And this is only a small part of the “evidence” found in the “most credible” official investigation into the 9/11 tragedy. But even this, in my opinion, is quite enough to understand by what methods the United States is moving towards its goals, having destroyed more than three thousand Americans. In continuation of the investigation, I will talk about the mysterious plane that crashed into the Pentagon and mysteriously disappeared, and about the other no less mysterious planes of that terrible day - September 11, 2001.
