the money thing is curious. I'd actually never read too much about it. An operation like this wouldn't cost that much though. Hell, each of the hijackers probably spent less than $700 on their seat/equipment, which as i type, i realized how absurd it is that for that price, they were able to do such a terrible thing. So i don't know where the money went. Very interesting/suspicious point.
censorship though is once again explained by the location. It's the pentagon, probably the least publicized yet official govt facility in the country. Apart from conspiracy theorists trying to prove a point, why would they need to release the tapes? It is again, strange, but not unlike the govt in the past. The whole world doesn't need to see what happened. Just the people in charge.
Dick Cheney i believe did have inside info, which makes me dislike him more, because he took no action on it. The govt had been hearing about an attack for awhile, but didn't do shit. I'm sure at the time it was common procedure, but in retrospect...damn, what were they thinking?
Flight 93 is simple. They did find debris. Search for flight 93 crash site and debris. However the people who made loose change spoke only with people who lived nearby and not the first responders to the scene. Not going to find any debris from inside your house 3/4 of a mile away. And much of the debris was buried because of how the plane hit.
yea i agree on bush. He probably should have left, but at the time i doubt he or any one else really understood what was happening. But still, get out that class and find a TV or something.
shot down-im a bit confused. What do you mean russian roulette? Planes had been overflying the US for nearly 100 years by 9/11, without once ever being hijacked and crashed into buildings. You're using hindsight. Of course it makes sense now, but previously, it would have been pointless to have planes up patrolling for commercial planes. And by the end of it, they did have planes up, and were contemplating shooting down a delta flight that was unresponsive. The fact is that no one wanted to condemn several hundred people to death under the premise that their plane may or may not be hijacked.
The pentagon plane was like flight 93. It flew into a building going almost 700 mph. Check the video to see what happens at those speeds. And bear in mind this is a fighter jet meant to take damage, not a commercial plane which can be brought down by hitting a duck. And yes, i know this against a power plant protection level concrete wall, but the pentagon was meant to survive a nuclear blast, and if it makes sense, the plane did do damage to pentagon, proving it's not...a concrete wall.
