good point. how the fuck do you get that on a plane these days?

I don't buy it. None of it matches up with just about any prior terror attacks on planes. He tried to blow up the plane was it was descending into detroit. He had all the way from Amsterdam to do it, why would he wait until essentially the last possible minute? Plus these days blowing up a plane is going out of terror fashion. (believe it or not, these things do feel phases. look it up, hijacking a plane used to be a very different affair) What they really want is control of the plane itself.

He's a wannabe. I'd bet he has no real connections to any terror groups. (though they will now accept that blame, because it would cause terror, and that's kinda their thing)

anything done on a plane that doesn't consist of sleeping, farting, and watching movies is considered terrorism

What happens if you try to light your farts on an airplane? since, in some circumstances, they CAN be explosive...

Is that called attempted terrorism? or just attempted crude behavior?

Believe it or not but the Feds have linked this guy to Alqueda. First of all he's muslim (dont get offended you far left junkies) and before he was in amsterdam he was in Nigeria which is currently a hot bed for Alqueda. My dads a pilot and is an FFDO(look it up if you dont know what it is) and he said that the characteristics of the guy is very suspicious. Young islamic man, freshly shaved face with razor burns, pretty much gives it away.

These days, they can link anyone to terrorism if they want. I mean they search the shit out of everyone getting on, have people with guns in the airport. TSA rapes alll you bags. But some dude walks in with bombs and gets through no problem. Sure.

No lets get even more ridiculous security.

I wish there was an airline company where you signed a waiver, and could get on without all the bullshit, and if something happens then it's your fault. I'd fly them all the time. Bring drinks, food on the plane. Not have to get raped by security. Not have to walk through an xray thing so they can scope out my package. Not have shit go missing thanks to tsa.

this whole terrorism binge in the news is retarded. Let's get even more rules yea!!!!!

Your an idiot. Do you really want 9/11 to happen again, seriously think about what you just said and then think about all the people that died on 9/11. For the rest of eternity there will be stricter and stricter security in transportation. Plus its not the Airlines that enforces those rules, its the feds.
When you have radical islamic terrorist that hate yes your guts and want to kill YOU, then you have to have all the security you can to stop them. You guys have no idea how many plots there are. My dad is breifed with everything that goes down each week in airports and he said that you'd be in awe at how many people think they can get away with shit. Its just the media never tells you about it. On average there are at least 10 firearms found each week in major airports throughout the world. Now the question is is this just random or do these people actually plan on using the firearms/weapons.
To the person that said terrorist have trends on what the attack. Your an idiot. Transportation will be and always have been there main target. Think about it, mass amounts of people traveling on what already is a machine that has a risk factor.
Look at Israel man, there security is more prevelant there than any other airport in the world. Instead of one security point like here in the US, they have fucking 5 with security cameras galore. Profiling each and every individual that steps foot in the god dam airport. Theyre government and citizens get it though. When your literally surronded by neighbors that want youre country off the face of this earth you have to have that kind of security. But wait, want to here the cool thing about Israels airport. Its pretty much the safiest one to travel in and out of in the world. Argue you with me all day but youll never get rid of security because of the thing that you guys are taking so seriously, terrorism.

Not getting into it. But thos were some pretty damn amazing maneuvers. Damn near imporssible, or at least extremely difficult for even a good pilot, let alone someone who couldn't even fly a cessna well

"radical islamic terrorist " there we go again. But what can you expect, that phrase was pretty much drilled into everyones head that watches too much cnn, fox or msnbc.

"When you have radical islamic terrorist that hate yes your guts and want to kill YOU" Oh i almost forgot. And it's all because we're "too free" right?

If we tap everyones phones, monitor their internet, have 1 police officer for every person, have cameras literally everywhere, strip search people to get on a plane or bus, institute nationwide curfews, we would probably have less crime right?

Not a fan of zeitgeist. And I didn't even get into anything anyway. Just mentioned some facts about the guy flying one of the planes. But oh well, don't even bother looking at the probability of that many coincidences and amazing feats being strung together on one day. Just write it all off.

Fisrt off your getting out of context, I never said that. Isareal is a perfect example for everything. People love there lives there, which says that there is a way to protect your country yet protect the privacy of its citizens.
And whats wrong with saying radical islamic terrorist. Last time I checked thats what they were right. In no way am I degrading Islam, personally I think its a fascinating culture in which cointians very peaceful people. But there are those that are brainwashed into thinking that western civilizaition is the root of all evil and should be destroyed at all costs.

Yes landing a plane is a difficult feat, but not that hard for people who are trained and do it all the time. for somebody who could barely fly, going 400 making a sweeping turn and hitting a narrow target dead on is a pretty amazing feat.

Or the fact that building 7 fell at a speed basically  indistinguishable from freefall, using physics.

But yeah yeah yeah, whatever. You don't care about things like that. I don't know exactly what happened. But there are more than enough holes in the official story to warrant an investigation

All this drummed up fear you have is fueled by whatever media outlet is feeding the fear furnace at the time. You honestly, shouldn't allow yourself to get swallowed up into that horseshit.

Just a wild shot in the dark, you aren't from NYC and you didn't live here nduring 9/11 right? I was there, I saw that smoke billow from downtown from my roof in Queens. Though you know what, I never really had a sense of fear because of terrorism. Nor did many New Yorkers at the time I believe, most of us were the first to go against all the bullshit associated with stripping our rights while protecting ourselves from the "terrorists." It seems like the farther you get from NYC, the more intense this fear of terrorists becomes. What, you think a terrorist gives a fuck about bombing Boise? We are THE number one target, probaly in the world, for terrorists. Yet New Yorkers are probably the least afraid of this bullshit, mostly because we don't allow ourselves to be controlled by "terrorism" to the point that we give up our freedoms. That is how we tell the terrorists to go fuck themselves.

Wow that was a shoot in the dark. No actually I was sitting at home in CO when I heard about 9/11. Now my dad who is a Continental pilot based out of Newark Liberty Intl Airport. So he was actually there at Newark shceduled to fly that morning, so I wasnt scared at all when I heard that a plane from Newark was hijacked. Fortunantley for me my dads plane was the plane right behind United Airlines flight 93 on the runway.

SO your right I shouldnt of been scared at all. Im just brainwashed by the media.

actually, it's not fireworks. The guy was legitimately trying to seriously fuck up the plane, by causing a fire, an explosion, and bring it down. He says he is connected by al queda, but that could just be aspirational. He had some bag of explosive powder and a syringe of chemicals that he tried to mix. people started attacking him and prevented him from going through with it.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091226/D9CR18JO0.html

Why would he wait until near landing to do this? Well, the route from amsterdam doesn't fly much over the US until detriot, so if he wanted to bring a plane down, hed prob want to bring it down over america, and over a population center. The only other place I could see would be over the ocean where the plane wouldn't be able to make an emergency landing if he failed.


To the 9/11 conspiracy kid. Listen to yourself...WTC 7 coming down at a speed faster than freefall? You know you're right, when those government engineers went in to fake the terrorist attack and bring the building down, they decided to pull it down faster than freefall for a more dramatic effect for the news, thinking no one would notice.

Dude, these were not amazing maneuvers that the terrorists did. They spent extensive hours in training before, and while they are different planes. the WTC is not a small target.

Youre an idiot. Period.  "I wish there was an airline company where you signed a waiver, and could get on without all the bullshit, and if something happens then it's your fault." I hope your joking. I don't know how old you are but seriously man, have some common sense. Thats just like saying "Hey! I wish there was a gun store where you could legally purchase guns no questions asked and didnt need to see any sort of identification or anything! I would definitely go get a gun from them! There wouldn't be any problems!!!" Psh. Idiot.
