The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the technology magazine Popular Mechanics have investigated and rejected the claims made by 9/11 conspiracy theories. [14][15] The civil engineering community accepts that the impacts of jet aircraft at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires, not controlled demolition, led to the collapse of the Twin Towers.During the initial confusion surrounding the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the BBC published the names and identities of what they believed to be some of the hijackers. [144] Some of the people named were later discovered to be alive, a fact that was seized upon by 9/11 conspiracy theorists as proof that the hijackings were faked. [144][145][146] The BBC explained that the initial confusion may have arisen because the names they reported back in 2001 were common Arabic and Islamic names. [144] In response to a request from the BBC, the FBI said that it was confident to have identified all nineteen hijackers, and that none of the other inquiries had raised the issue of doubt about their identities.
If NORAD's story was true, then someone in the FAA should have been arrested and charged with a criminal offense. No one in ether the FAA or NORAD was punished though. In fact some workers were even promoted. The problem with NORAD's story is that they did not even send the scramble order until 8:46 AM. The second problem with their story was that they sent the scramble order to the air force base in Cape Cod which was 180 miles away instead of sending it to the New Jersey base only 70 miles away (Griffin 9).
More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll. The national survey of 1,010 adults also found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, with 54 percent saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be. Widespread resentment and alienation toward the national government appears to be fueling a growing acceptance of conspiracy theories about the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Suspicions that the 9/11 attacks were "an inside job" _ the common phrase used
Controversial acts were passed in an effort to control terrorism, the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was passed by George Bush shortly after 9/11 to make it easier for the government to access personal information like; phone conversations, emails, and other private information. It also gives them the power to detain anyone who they suspect of terrorism for up to one week. The freedoms and privacy of all Americans have been curtailed because of this act. Even though most Americans are not terrorists, simply knowing that the government has these new powers and abilities to invade on their privacy is bothersome
Together they could accommodate more than 1,000 passengers, yet there were only 266 aboard. He was on those four flights giving the terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the people who was called by a loved one on one of the hijacked planes mentioned that passengers were panicked, nor was there any screaming in the background. And on one of the flights, God gave strength to the passengers to overcome the hijackers. God was also busy creating
Terroris flew into the Twin Towers in New York and hijack planes killing American citizen on American soil on September 11, 2001. One of the terrorist was stopped by a traffic officer and lead go if the state trooper had stopped him he would nnot have been on the plane whether it would have still happened we will never know, I think it still would have happened. Congress increase funding of all agencies 10 billion of dollars on global offensive against terrorism and formed Homeland Security a compilation of all federal agency. These agency prior were not sharing info with each other. Basically a failure to
So to the leftists the agencies are the ones who rule and therefore the bad ones, thus of course they’d have to blame them for 9/11.Some overestimate the US government’s abilities to control damage or underestimate the Arab’s abilities to cause it and accordingly they claim that it must’ve been an inside job since the US agencies didn’t stop it. The military history provides enough proof of a chance that the US couldn’t rather than didn’t stop
Assignment 1: Summary Is the metadata programm a helpful method to prevent terror attacks? “The Whole Haystack” By Mattathias Schwartz In The New Yorker, a report called the “The Whole Haystack” by Matthathias Schwartz, issued on January 26, 2015 the author investigates why the metadata program was ineffective in preventing terrorist attacks as the recent massacre in Paris, the attack on Charlie Hebdo, the Boston marathon bombing in 2013, the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, the 7/7 London suicide bombings in 2005. In each of these cases, the author is claiming that the authorities did not have any previous information about it. Schwartz is showing how the authorities in the United States are daily collecting a lot of information from the U.S. citizens. However, this information could not prevent any terror activites yet.
Ivan Lopez Karen Rasmussen COMM 301 November 23, 2012 Fahrenheit 9/11 In 2004 Michael Moore released his highly anticipated documentary film titled Fahrenheit 9/11. The title is a play on “Fahrenheit 451,” the temperature at which paper burns, and a novel by Ray Bradbury about a future totalitarian state in which reading and independent thought are forbidden. The documentary film closely examines the war on terror, the Bush presidency, and how they were portrayed by the media. The film starts off by questioning the accuracy of the 2001 election that resulted in George W. Bush winning the election. Fahrenheit 9/11 is the highest grossing documentary film of all time.
One of our Army generals, Alexander, said this program threatened 54 terrorist attacks but all in reality it only stopped one. The people in congress do not want to look soft on terrorism so they say nothing about all these underhanded tactics. So the government has been spying on us for many years and not telling us one thing about it. This is treading on our civil liberties while we just sit back and let it happen.
