What caused 9/11?

When the testimony of firefighters and eyewitnesses says differently than the govt. story...
I will go with the firefighters and eyewitnesses EVERY TIME.
(this is a simple matter of trustworthyness and personal & probable motivations)

What caused 9/11?

Ultimately?

No one has supplied a sufficient answer.

The most common reasons given:

1)Oil.
2)A conspiracy by the government.
3)Inherit Islamic hatred.
4)Israel. Why Israel? I don't know.

I think these four cover the majority of responses people give as to the what. Unfortunately, all four of these are naive, juvenile responses given because people like simple, pat answers.

Asking people to go back to the end of the first World War, the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, British involvement in the Middle East, the rise of the Cold War with the U.S. and the Soviet Union manipulating the Middle Eastern governments, the oil discoveries, the rise of mullahs who espoused an oppressive interpretation of the Koran as well as xenophobia along with the superiority complexes of the Communist and Republican superpowers, etc., etc., etc.

PureX gives the best one sentence summation.

Alot of people have different accounts of 9/11...Majoirty of all did see an airliner crash in the twin towers...yet another handful of people heard explosions in other buildings that sounded like bombs were going off. But how do you decifer something between circumstancial events, coincidence, or the real hardcore evidence of it all? especially when your confined by the medias accounts and how they're able to manipulate what you see on your television.

There are so many aspects to this whole thing,
I'm not sure how you can make such an all encompasing statement?

There are MAJOR aspects of the whole 9/11 attacks that make absolutely NO SENSE at all to human reason (ex. undamaged lawn at pentagon, no plane wreckage at crash sites... just to name a couple), and the official stories have done absolutely nothing to explain or address them in any believable way whatsoever. You think other people's alternative explinations are idiotic? Well certainly no more or less so than the govts. own equally and aparantly lame non-explinations. So why simply "default" to the govts. idiotic non-explinations just because you haven't heard any others you like any better?
Not to derail the thread but....

Because it accounts for the most yet retains simplicity.
The wreckage has been addressed already several times by the structural engineers who were at the site.

Here is a picture of some of the wreckage. Most was inside because (shockingly) a plane hit the building at 400 mph+ More than enough energy to blow through the walls of the pentagon.

Here is another of the entire event.
Notice where the lawn is. Notice where the gaping hole is. The low amount of damage done to the lawn is not surprising in the least.
I have heard dozens of other ones. I don't claim to have heard them all, but there are only so many core variants. They are either physically impossible or unsupported by any evidence.

What? that laughable piece of tin foil?

Oh I seem to be back to the tin foil again.

(Some? of the wreckage? Find me one single picture with MORE wreckage. that's it.
no wings no tail no demolished lawn.... spindles undesturbed on the lawn...
actually I think there may have been a turbine of the wrong size "found" there as well.)

Then compare to pictures of "normal" crash sites where there's actually a plane to be found.
HUGE pieces... MAJOR CHUNKS of airplane that is. You know. Clear evidence of a Huge Airliner.

The wings certainly could not have entered into the building (evidenced by size and shape of hole)
so where are they to be found on that beautiful green lawn?

Even REPORTERS on the sceene said there was no sign of wreckage.
As well eye witnesses described something much more akin to a missile.
Something much smaller (and faster if I recal)
(that would have actually fit the hole in the building).

As well professional pilots having simulated the run say it would have been a near impossible stunt.
Yet it was pulled off by a wholly incompetant ameture "pilot". ok.


ACK! I REALLY Don't have time for this!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a-ok with not seeing what you see.
I think I need to leave it at that.
This could go on without end.
There are so many excellent videos out there,
using mostly footage of the day
to illustrate all of the official story problems.
If you've already seen them,
and you see no major problems with the official story
then we agree to disagree. simple.
If not.... you might as well check them out.
What could it hurt? right?

We need a new thread for this, this one has been effectively derailed.

Just one response because I cannot resist.

Airplane crashes produce a lot of debris because of how the pilot lands the plane. The angle of impact is kept as close to zero as physically possible. You want the plane to skim the surface. You want to land alive, keeping the plane in one piece is not exactly a top priority. Never mind the damage done to the plane.

This was a crash specifically meant to maximize damage. As a result, the entire plane slammed into the building at a near 90 degree angle. No attempts to pull up, which causes debris to slide everywhere, just wham. No airframe can withstand a direct impact to a surface, they were never designed to do that. As a result, the airframe folded like a beer can meeting a redneck's forehead. The airframe is not designed to do that either, so it just crumbles. Then the resulting crushed airframe is lit on fire with a few hundred liters of jet fuel. We wouldn't be able to distinguish the wreckage with our eyes. We would just see a ton of charred metal.

How could this be a faith-based initiative?

The perpetrators killed Black and White, Asian and Hispanic, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Agnostics, Hindus and Buddhists. This was a crime against humanity.

easy the muslims are martyrs the rest are khafir, religion can make anything acceptable its all in the mind so to speak

Actually, the Quran reveals that those who follow Jesus are exhaled.

what do you mean by 'exhale'? i am sorry, i checked my dictionary to see if there was another meaning other than inhale/exhale. but, no, i just couldnot get it.

exhaled? they are infidels and khafur and even najjis

are you talking about how some people perceive others or are you talking about the religion itself?

Thanks for pointing out my typo! :)

The word is exalt (definition: raised or elevated, as in rank or character)

[Quran 3:55] Thus, GOD said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, raising you to Me, and ridding you of the disbelievers. I will exalt those who follow you above those who disbelieve, till the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is the ultimate destiny of all of you, then I will judge among you regarding your disputes.

Friend Yeshua Lives,
BALANCE.
Yes, life always seeks its balance.
Here [9/11] it is not just an incident of extremists attack. That is true but only on the surface.
Deep down it is about the oppersor and the oppresed on one hand and the karma on the other.
There are two classes of people in the Arab world. The rich and the poor. The rich exploit the poor in the name of religion and this is turned into a political game of the religious fundamentals to get even with the rich west.
The other is karma. If you know what is karma then you would accept what ever happens, happens for the good. Find solutions to problems, do not compound them more by creating war on Iraq etc.
Love & rgds

Until the commoners UNDERSTAND that the elite rule the world...
no amount of "working together" will ever REALLY change anything.

But whatever.
