11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY ELEVEN - THE RECAP

We've finally come to the end of 11 Days of Conspiracy here at the Insane Asylum.  As I said in the beginning, I'm not trying to tell you what to believe.  I'm merely telling you what so many others believe and why.

Let's go over what was discussed.  


On Day One, we talked about Flight 93.  This was the plane that was said to have crashed in Shanksville, PA.  There was a report out of Cincinnati that Flight 93 actually landed in Cleveland and evacuated, but that was later changed.  There was no evidence of an airplane crashing in that field in PA. No bodies, 757 parts or luggage could be found.  Just pieces of "scrap metal" small enough to be held in one's hand. Reporters on the scene in Shanksville confirmed that.

On Day Two, the collapse of the Twin Towers was the topic of discussion.  We highlighted skyscraper fires of the past and their end result.  We went over the specs of the Twin Towers and how improbable is was for those buildings to fall the way a controlled demo would allow...without a controlled demolition.

Day Three was Flight 77 and the Pentagon. We discussed the holes the 757 allegedly left and how they were actually too small for plane of that size.  We also discussed the fact that there were no 757 parts, people or luggage, just like in Shanksville.  A reporter on the scene at the Pentagon literally repeated what the reporter in Shanksville said.  Except the reporter at the Pentagon said flat out that there was no evidence of a plane hitting it.



Day Four covered the wargames that were being played on September 11th.  One included moving fighter jets to the Canadian/Russian border to monitor a fleet of imaginary Russian jets.  Others included scenarios where hijacked airliners were being used to to crash into the Pentagon, World Trade Center and other targets of interest.  When the call for help came through, military controllers didn't know if this was "part of the game" or the real deal.

Day Five took us back to Twin Towers.  Almost all of the "Conspiracy Theorists" believe that the Towers were brought down in a controlled demo.  With all of the security and bomb-sniffing dogs, it must have been a task to get explosives in the buildings.  Not if President Bush's brother, Marvin is head of WTC security.  Also in the weeks prior to 9/11, there were building evacs and blackouts, long enough for explosives to be planted.

On Day Six, we found out how insider trading took place leading up to the events of 9/11.

Day Seven talked about the phone calls people said they received from their loved ones on 9/11.  The hard pill to swallow is understanding how a cell phone made a call from thousands of feet in the air when no such technology existed in 2001.

Day Eight introduced you to Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex.  Months prior to 9/11, he purchased a 99-year lease with insurance that specifically covered acts of terrorism.  After building 7 fell the way the Towers did, Silverstein went on television and said he had the building "pulled" because firemen said it was too dangerous to go in.

Day Nine covered the gold that was stored for banks and countries from around the world underneath the complex.

Day Ten reminded us all what the USA PATRIOT Act is, and what it has done to our rights and liberties.

Like I said, I'm not trying to convert you.  If you haven't formed an opinion after 10 years, you probably don't care....and that's cool.  All I wanted was for you to read and hopefully learn something about what people are saying about 9/11.

You'll never see another article from me about 9/11.  They will always be in the archives, but I'm officially blue in face and fingers from all the talking and typing.

Thank you for your patience and tolerance, and I know you're ready to get back to the current events.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY TEN - REDUCTION OF FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES

The 9/11 terror spectacle played out as a deadly drama live on television. The images of the planes hitting the towers and their collapse were played repeatedly. The spectacle conveyed the message that the U.S. was vulnerable to terror attack, that terrorists could create great harm, and that anyone at anytime could be subject to a violent terror attack, even in America.

The suffering, fear, and death that many people endure on a daily basis in violent and insecure situations in other parts of the world was brought home  to U.S. citizens. The terror attacks had material effects, attempting to harm the U.S. and global economy, and psychic effects, traumatizing a nation with fear.

For days, U.S. television suspended broadcasting of advertising and TV entertainment and focused solely on the events of September 11. The images and discourses of the television networks framed the terrorist attacks to whip up war hysteria, while failing to provide a coherent account of what happened, why it happened, and what would count as responsible responses.

The media whipped up hysteria in its post-9/11 coverage of anthrax attacks and frequent reports of terrorist threats, and since September 11 the Bush administration used fear tactics to advance its political agenda, including tax breaks for the rich, curtailment of social programs, military build-up, and the most draconian assaults on U.S. rights and freedoms in the contemporary era.

The USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) was submitted two weeks later and signed a month after 9/11, ushering in a "new way of life" in the best interest for our safety and well-being. Two of the Senators who attempted to slow passage of the bill, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, were targeted with letters containing weaponized anthrax delivered to their offices on October 9.  

A lot of people don't fully understand what the USA PATRIOT Act entails, and most of them probably don't care, but I'll break it down anyway.
 

• Government Surveillance: The USA PATRIOT Act minimizes the power of the courts to prevent law enforcement authorities from illegally abusing certain types of telephone and Internet surveillance in both anti-terrorism investigations and run-of-the-mill criminal investigations of American citizens. Law enforcement officials have the power to investigate American citizens for criminal matters without establishing probable cause if they designate that the investigation is for "intelligence purposes." The Director of Central Intelligence also has broad authority to identify individuals as targets for intelligence surveillance, placing the CIA firmly back in the business of spying on Americans.
• Secret Searches: The USA PATRIOT Act expands the ability of the government to use so called "sneak and peek" and "black bag" secret searches. These searches, depending on the target, require either no notification at all of the person being searched, or delay notification until after the search has occurred. This means that physical searches of our homes, cars, computers, workplaces and reading materials can be conducted without our knowledge. These provisions apply both in anti-terrorism investigations and routine criminal investigations. 
• Privacy: The USA PATRIOT Act granted the FBI -- and, under new information sharing provisions, many other law enforcement and intelligence agencies -- broad access to highly personal medical, financial, mental health, library and student records with only the most minimal judicial oversight. The court must issue a subpoena whenever the FBI states that it is for an investigation to protect against international terrorism. The recipient of the subpoena is prohibited from telling anyone that the FBI has asked for the information. Now the FBI can get the entire database of a credit card company or the records of everyone who has used a certain public library. It can obtain information on everyone registered at a particular hotel, hospital, or university. It does not need to show probable cause that a crime is, has been, or will be committed.
• Dissent/Free Speech: The USA PATRIOT Act has the very real potential to greatly chill constitutionally protected speech in its overbroad redefinition of "domestic terrorism." The new definition is so vague that it could allow the government to designate lawful advocacy groups, like Greenpeace and Operation Rescue, as terrorist groups and subject them to invasive surveillance, wiretapping, harassment and then criminally penalize them for protected political advocacy. By questioning 9/11, I very well could be committing domestic terrorism.
• Bill of Rights for Non-Citizens: The USA PATRIOT Act permits the Attorney General to incarcerate or detain non-citizens based on mere suspicion and to deny re-admission to the US of non-citizens (including legal, long-term permanent residents) for engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.

So there you have it.  9/11 sparked a lot of "change" in how we do things.  Not only did it "wrangle" the citizens to make us more "obedient", it took our freedom from us and we're thanking 'em for it.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY NINE - WHERE'S THE GOLD?

The basement of WTC4 housed vaults used to store gold and silver bullion. Articles written about what was recovered mention less than $300 million worth of gold.  On Nov. 1, Mayor Giuliani announced that "more than $230 million" worth of gold and silver bars that had been stored in a bomb-proof vault had been recovered.

I first heard about the missing gold when rescue workers looking for survivors found all the vault doors open and empty. I knew then that it was an inside job, because terrorists couldn't move that much gold prior to the buildings collapse.

Even the most straight and narrow believer of the official story can't say what happened to the tons of gold and silver that was stored in the lower vaults of the World Trade Center.  Bin Laden didn't take it, so lets go ahead and agree on that.  Who ever took the gold knows about the events of 9/11 and they're Americans.

With more people talking about the missing gold, Giuliani reported on 11/1 that some of the gold was recovered. Still over a billion dollars worth was still unaccounted for. Those who still believe that bin Laden did it, how did he get away with the gold unseen?

There appears to be no reports of precious metals discovered between November of 2001 and the completion of excavation several months later. Assuming that the reports described the value of precious metals in the vaults before the attack, and that the $230 million mentioned by Giuliani represented the approxmiate value of metals recovered, it would seem that at least the better part of a billion dollars worth of precious metals went missing.

Why is there this huge discrepancy between the value of gold and silver reported recovered, and the value reported to have been stored in the vaults? There are a number of possible explanations, from outright theft using the attack as cover, to insurance fraud. Until there is a genuine investigation that probes all the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the attack, we can only speculate.

An article in The Sierra Times suggests that gold was recovered from two trucks in a tunnel under 5 World Trade Center, raising suspicions that the trucks were being used to remove the gold from the vaults before the South Tower fell. However, this report may have been based on erroneous reading of other reports that describe the removal of crushed vehicles from a tunnel under 5 WTC in order to gain access to the vaults under WTC4 to remove their contents.

I do realize that 9/11 was not about gold. It was just a part of it.  I'm not even surprised that so few people know what went on in the World Trade Towers and why there would be so much gold and silver there.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY EIGHT - LARRY SILVERSTEIN AND WTC7

In July 2001, Larry Silverstein signed a 99-year deal to operate the World Trade Complex. What Silverstein actually owns is an 11 percent share of that lease for which he paid about $14 million. Using cash from other investors (owners of the other 89 percent) and hundreds of millions of borrowed money, he bought the lease from the Port Authority.

When he and his family survived 9/11, he got paid. Hella paid. With signing the 99-year lease, Mr. Silverstein included insurance that specifically covered terrorist attacks. A lessee turned developer, he's  developing 3 of the 5 new towers to be completed in 2012.

Remember building 7 and how "debris from the Twin Towers" fell onto it and made it catch fire making it fall to the ground? What if I told you that the leaseholder said from his own mouth that he had firefighters demolish that building?



The fires in WTC 7 were supposedly started by the collapse of WTC 1, so there wouldn't have been any time the rig the building for demolition on 9/11.

Suggesting that it was demolished by the FDNY provides an alternative to the only logical explanation - that it was rigged for demolition before the attack. The absurdity of the FDNY setting to "pull" Building 7 on 9/11 will escape most people, those who neither grasp the engineering of the controlled demolition of a skyscraper, nor its contradiction with FEMA's account of the collapse. So the idea that officials decided to "pull" Building 7 after the attack serves as a distraction from the logic that the building's demolition was planned in advance of the attack, and was therefore part of an inside job to destroy the entire WTC complex.

The plot only gets thicker...

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY SEVEN - THE PHONE CALLS

Remember the phone calls made from the passengers on those planes?  Going by the technology available in 2001, cell phone calls from airliners could only be made at altitudes of more than a few thousand feet. These calls however, some of which reportedly lasted a minute or more, reportedly occurred when the planes were above 30,000 or even 40,000 feet.

Although we were told by the FBI that Flight 93 was the source of about a dozen cell phone calls when the plane was above 40,000 feet, the FBI said something totally different at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker". The FBI guy said, "13 of the terrified passengers and crew members made 35 air phone calls and two cell phone calls." Instead of there having been about a dozen cell phone calls from Flight 93 like the FBI declared in 2005, there were really only two.

Let's say the new story is the truth.  How can one explain the fact that so many people reported receiving cell phone calls?  In most cases these people specifically mentioned that the callers were using cell phones.  A Newsweek story about United 93 said, "Elizabeth Wainio, 27, was speaking to her stepmother in Maryland.  She said that another passenger had loaned her a cell phone and told her to call her family."

Deena Burnett said that she had received three to five calls from her husband, Tom Burnett. She said she knew that he was using his cell phone.  She told the FBI that day and then to the press and then mentioned it in a book that was being written, that she had recognized his number on her Caller ID.

Other Conspiracy Theorists contend that the 9/11 passengers voices were copied and calls using voice-morphing technology were made to their loved ones.  I won't go that far, and I won't rule it out, but the Mark Bingham call from the airphone was weird.  Who calls their mom and says "hi this is (enter first and last name)?




 Then CNN interviews him Mom, and she's reading the transcript of the call like she can't remember the last thing her son said to her.  Although the Mark Bingham call was from an airphone, I just can't wrap my finger around how weird it seemed.



Alexa Graf, a spokesman of AT&T, interviewed on 9/11, said it was "a fluke that the [9/11] cell phone calls reached their destinations".  Electronic Warfare specialist Steve Moser said that he has "severe doubt that ordinary cell phone calls were ever made from the aircraft (Flight 93)".  "When you make a cell phone call, the first thing that happens is your cell phone needs to contact a transponder and complete a digital handshake. If an aircraft is going five hundred miles an hour, your cell phone will not be able to contact a tower, tell the tower who you are and who your provider is, tell the tower what mode it wants to communicate with, and establish that it is in a roaming area, before it passes out of range. It takes 30-45 seconds to do that. Though it is sometimes possible to connect during takeoff and landing, under the situation that was claimed the calls were impossible."

So where did the cell calls come from? What about the airphone calls?  Does "hi Mom, this is Mark Bingham" sound normal?  All we can do is continue to ask questions and wait for the answers.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY SIX - PUT OPTIONS

Someone who knew that the attacks were coming could have profited in a number of ways. One would be to sell stocks short - borrowing shares and then selling them, hoping they could be bought back after a price drop. Another would be to buy put options, which give the owner the right to sell at a certain price for a limited time. It's classic insider trading.

American Airlines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, US Airways airlines, Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American International Group, AMR Corporation, AXA SA, Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, and Bank One Corp, just to name a few profited from 9/11.

Put and call options are contracts that allow their holders to sell and buy assets at specified prices by a certain date. Put options allow their holders to profit from declines in stock values because they allow stocks to be bought at market price and sold for the higher option price. The ratio of the volume of put option contracts to call option contracts is called the put/call ratio. Basically a put option is a bet that a stock will fall. A call option is bet that a stock will rise.

From the 9/11 Commission:

"Financial transactions in the days before the attack suggest that certain individuals used foreknowledge of the attack to reap huge profits. 1 The evidence of insider trading includes:

-Huge surges in purchases of put options on stocks of the two airlines used in the attack -- United Airlines and American Airlines

-Surges in purchases of put options on stocks of reinsurance companies expected to pay out billions to cover losses from the attack -- Munich Re and the AXA Group

-Surges in purchases of put options on stocks of financial services companies hurt by the attack -- Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley and Bank of America

-Huge surge in purchases of call options of stock of a weapons manufacturer expected to gain from the attack -- Raytheon

-Huge surges in purchases of 5-Year US Treasury Notes

American Airlines and United Airlines, and several insurance companies and banks posted huge loses in stock values when the markets opened on September 17. These put options - instruments which allow investors to profit from the decline in value of stocks - were purchased on the stocks of these companies in great volume in the week before the attack.
United Airlines and American Airlines

Two of the corporations most damaged by the attack were American Airlines (AMR), the operator of Flight 11 and Flight 77, and United Airlines (UAL), the operator of Flight 175 and Flight 93. According to CBS News, in the week before the attack, the put/call ratio for American Airlines was four. The put/call ratio for United Airlines was 25 times above normal on September 6.

Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley were both headquartered in lower Manhattan at the time of the attack. Morgan Stanley occupied 22 floors of the North Tower and Merrill Lynch had headquarters near the Twin Towers. Morgan Stanley, which sees an average of 27 put options on its stock daily saw 2,157 put options bought in the three trading days before the attack. Merrill Lynch, which sees an average of 252 put options on its stock daily saw 12,215 put options bought in the four trading days before the attack. Morgan Stanley's stock dropped 13% and Merrill Lynch's stock dropped 11.5% when the market reopened.

When you put the different pieces together, you get a larger picture. It's starting to see that people all across the board benefited from the events of 9/11. Especially monetarily. Wait until you hear about the gold...

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY FIVE - WHAT ABOUT THE BOMBS?

Let's go back to the towers for a minute. If bombs were used to bring them down, how did they get in the building? Thousands of pounds of explosives would have had to have been planted in and around the buildings' core columns and throughout its restricted internal framework.

Let's take this question of how the explosives were planted. How could the security of the World Trade Center Complex, which has to be pretty sophisticated since the 1993 bombing, not notice people attaching explosives to the buildings? We need to ask Marvin P. Bush, W’s brother.  He was on the board in a company called Securacom (now named Stratesec) that provided security for the World Trade Center and United Airlines.

In the weeks leading up to 9/11, there were power outages and whole floor shutdowns and evacuations. Those were perfect opportunities to carry up and plant necessary explosives under the guise of 'maintenance' and/or 'retrofitting' work.  Bomb-sniffing dogs were also removed from the buildings decreasing the chance of the explosions being detected.

The more we see evidence that suggests an inside job, the more these revelations about uncovered information strengthens the suspicions about 9/11 being a well-orchestrated conspiracy.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY FOUR - REAL WORLD OR EXERCISE?

Ever wondered why all these planes were able to fly around the country's most precious targets without any military intervention?  Just like the Brits did on 7/7/05 where "exercises" were identical to the actual tragedy, on September 11, at least five different "war games" were being conducted by the military and intelligence agencies. These exercises included simulations of 9/11 type events, a plane into building scenario near Dulles Airport in Virginia, and deployment of fighters to northern Canada and Alaska (which reduced the number of fighters that were available to protect the US?). It seems that these exercises were the means used to paralyze the air defenses, thereby ensuring the success of the "attacks." The British Navy was conducting exercises in the Indian ocean near the Middle East. A biowar exercise was also about to start in New York City.


It's hard to believe that the military and CIA were conducting war games similar to 9/11 on September 11, 2001. While it seems likely, if not blatantly obvious, that these war games were one of the means used to confuse the air defense system for sufficient time to allow the World Trade Center to be attacked, the war games do not answer the question of how the air defenses were suppressed for another half hour after the second tower was hit (at which time everyone knew that an attack was in progress). The Air Force had another half hour after the second tower to scramble interceptors to defend the Capitol (the plane that is alleged to have hit the Pentagon made its 180 degree turn over Ohio to head back toward D.C. about the time that the second tower was struck). When they tried to scramble fighter jets, controllers didn't know what was real and what was exercise.



Perhaps a complete investigation would reveal if the national order to ground all aviation (an unprecedented directive from the Transportation Department) also included military airplanes as well -- especially given the chaos and confusion that morning, a stand down of key fighter interceptors would have been easily concealed. But the information about the wargames suggests that a "stand down" order was NOT issued that morning -- the confusion from the war games was how the defenses of New York and Washington were interfered with sufficiently to ensure the success of the attacks. 

It is unlikely that the "inside job" conspirators would have risked the success of the operation on whether fighter plane pilots would have obeyed orders to do nothing as American cities were burning. It would be like asking a firefighter who had trained their entire adult life to "stand down" when their neighbor's house was burning and the inhabitants trapped inside (or worse, asking that firefighter to "stand down" from protecting the next house on the block from catching fire from the first burning house). In this analogy, the firefighter would probably ignore orders from his or her boss to stand down, and would seek to rescue the neighbors without worrying about the consequences until later. The wargames provide a much better explanation for why there was an apparent stand down and failure to respond in time.


If a genuine investigation with subpeona power is ever held, the full details of the 9/11 wargames would need to be declassified and discussed in public -- who scheduled them, who set up the scenarios, the full communications records from the participants, the radar tapes (if they still exist) that were used as part of the simulations, and the identities of those officials who deployed part of the fighter defense fleet to northern Canada and Alaska at the very time that warnings were being sounded that a terrorist attack was imminent.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY THREE - FLIGHT 77 AND THE PENTAGON

Along with Flight 93 and the Twin Towers, the Pentagon has it's own set of questions to be answered.

Some Conspiracy Theorists contend that Flight 77 didn't hit the Pentagon, and that the damage done came from another source. The main statements in supporting this theory are:

1. The hole created by the crash is too small for a 757 and its parts.

2. The damage done in and around the Pentagon doesn't amount to the damage a 757 would cause.

3. No evidence of Boeing 757 debris having been recovered from the site.

4. Of all the people who died on the planes, none of them were Hani Hanour or the names of other suspected terrorists.

The hole created by the crash is too small for a 757 and its parts.

The entrance hole before the roof fell was about 16 ft. around. The 125 feet wingspan of the Boeing 757 would have made a hole about 177 feet wide, in the Pentagon wall. I think it is safe to say that although the hole in the Pentagon wall appears to have been made by something that was airborne, it is in fact, too small, to have been made by a Boeing 757.

The damage done in and around the Pentagon doesn't amount to the damage a 757 would cause.

So, a 757 clipped 5 light poles and left a hole in the bottom of the Pentagon without damaging the landscape.  And this hole is supposedly from the nose of the plane, the part of the plane that's paper compared to the rest.  That went through, but the same reinforced wall prevented wings and engines from doing damage.

No evidence of Boeing 757 debris having been recovered from the site.

A thinking person would expect to see engines, a tail section, fuselage and people in there somewhere lying on the ground. Where were they?

Of all the people who died on the planes, none of them were Hani Hanour or the names of other suspected terrorists. 

Hani was the guy they said went to the training school in Florida then piloted Flight 77 into the Pentagon.  When interviewed, his former chief instructor basically said Hani sucked at flying.  Hani allegedly executed a maneuver described as "highly skillful" in the 757 before slamming it into the building.

I know I went all around the world to make a point, but I care too much.  I want this to be educational and fun. I could've just shown you this video at the beginning and avoided going through all the motions.

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY TWO - COLLAPSE OF THE TWIN TOWERS

The collapse of the Twin Towers played a huge psychological role in how the American people perceived 9/11.  What really had me confused over the years is how the towers just crumbled to the ground like sandcastles.

The official explanation given said the burning jet fuel caused the building to weaken all over.  Even in places where no jet fuel was present.  Firefighters in and around the buildings say they heard explosions right before the buildings collapsed.




What is someone supposed to think when you see how fast the buildings came down, along with these firefighters saying what they experienced? Thanks to the makers of Loose Change, the following information only helps the theory that the towers were brought down in a controlled manner:

In February of 1991, a 38-story skyscraper in Philadelphia caught fire and burned for 18 hours across eight floors. It was once known as the fire of the century.  It did not collapse.  It burned until firefighters put it out.

In October, 2004, a 56-story skyscraper in Venezuela, built in 1976, burned for over 17 hours spreading across 26 floors. It did not collapse. It burned until firefighters put it out.

In February of 1975, a fire that started in an electrical closet on the 11th floor broke out between the ninth and the 14th floors of the North Tower. The fire then spread to six other floors. Even without a sprinkler system, fire department officials and building officials said there was no chance the World Trade Center would ever become a type of Towering Inferno. The fire was so bad, however, it eventually led to the installation of sprinkler systems. Still it did not collapse. it burned until firefighters put it out.

In May of 1975, 7 fires struck the twin towers. The South Tower had garbage fires between the 25th and 36th floor, and the North Tower had a fire on the 11th floor. They did not collapse. They burned until firefighters put them out.

The Twin Towers, 2 110-story skyscrapers burned for 56 minutes over eight floors and 103 minutes over five floors, before falling completely to the ground. The Twin Towers were made of 200,000 tons of steel and 425,000 cubic yards of concrete. The core of each tower was a rectangular pillar, 87 x 133 feet, comprised of 47 steel box columns ranging from 36 x 16 to 52 x 22 inches. The North Tower was completed in 1970, standing at 1368 feet tall, and the South Tower was completed in 1973, reaching 1362 feet tall, making them the tallest buildings in the world at the time. They were designed to withstand multiple impacts from a Boeing 707. A collision like this would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse or substantial damage.

Take a look at this. You mean to tell me that a plane hitting the top of these buildings caused them to collapse from underneath?



In September, 2001, the south tower of the World Trade Center collapses to the ground in approximately 10 seconds. 29 minutes later, the North Tower collapses in approximately 10 seconds. Later that evening, World Trade Center building 7, 47 stories tall, collapses to the ground in under seven seconds. The official explanation is that falling debris from the North Tower created a series of fires inside the building. According to history, if this is true, it would be the third steel frame skyscraper in history to completely collapse because of damage and fire. The first two would be the Twin Towers.

Were airplanes the cause of those buildings collapsing?

11 DAYS OF CONSPIRACY: DAY ONE - FLIGHT 93

For 11 days I'll be highlighting 11 topics within the overall story of 9/11 that are still being discussed. Lots of people died, and many were injured. It was a horrible thing, and it was done to incite fear and chaos.

For something that's supposed to be so cut and dry, there are still a lot of people including myself with questions about 9/11. We're called Conspiracy Theorists. Whether or not Bin Laden was behind it is your belief. I believe that if you take a closer look with me during these 11 days, you might learn something new. Even if you don't, at least you would have heard my piece, and that's all I want.

OK, lets talk about the scene. Do you remember what the field looked like? Let's look at what was being said about it that day.



Reporters on the scene only call it like they see it. There were no wing sections, no engines (which are made partially of titanium), no luggage, no DNA and no people, yet this plane went down there? I don't care if you believe the story about it being shot down or the one that said it crashed, Mr. Chap says Flight 93 was not in Pennsylvania.

So what happened to flight 93?

I don't know. I do know that a TV station in Cincinnati said that United Flight 93 landed at Cleveland International Airport. I remember on our news in Detroit, they were talking about WCPO Channel 9 who was quoting Cleveland Mayor Michael White saying a Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing due to a bomb threat, and that the airport was evacuated because of this. The airplane was moved to a secure location and the people on board were taken to the John Glenn NASA research center. I couldn't find the original article because it had been deleted, but I went to the Way Back Machine and found a copy.

The report says United Airlines verified the plane as Flight 93, but was also deeply concerned about Flight 175, which was flying from Boston to L.A. Also included was a comment from United CEO, James Goodwin. Later is was said that a mistake had been made. Instead of United Flight 93 landing, it was said that Delta 1989 actually landed.

Aircraft have serial numbers like cars have vin numbers. If a car is totaled, scrapped or burned up, you'll never see another vehicle with that vin number. The same with airplanes. If a plane is in service or crashes or is too old to fly or whatever the case may be, it's listed with the FAA along with it's status. So if Flight 93 went down over Pennsylvania, why did United identify it as their plane that landed in Cleveland? Confusing your United plane with a Delta plane seems unlikely. Each aircraft is a blip on the screen with it's number attached to it. How else do control towers know who they're speaking to?

After doing some homework, I found that FAA records showed that Flight 93 was identified as N591UA and Flight 175 as N612UA. Four years later, those numbers were still listed as "active". FAA records shows the two other American Airline flights, Flight 11 and 77, both were 'deregistered' and classified as 'destroyed' just months after 9/11. I don't know what it means, but it means something. Do your own search at the FAA registry.

Things didn't add up then, and they don't add up now. We can only keep searching until something makes sense.
