Loose Change in Full

SPaul note: This post in no way commits me to the conspiracy theory band wagon of 9/11 but it is interesting. I also posted this as a retrospective view of how we got where we are now.





The USAF could not prevent the attacks because transponders in the hijacked jets were turned off. Explosives in the twin towers were "debunked" by Popular Mechanics (now there's a joke). The demolition of WTC 7 was also "debunked" by the ever reliable Popular Mechanics. The rest of the programme was dedicated to straw men. Was the Pentagon was hit by a plane? Did Flight 93 crash in Pennysylvania or did it land elsewhere? Did 4000 Jews skip work in the WTC on 9/11? Were the attacks predicted in the pilot of the "Lone Gunmen" TV show? Finally, the programme finished with an irrelevant piece on pre-9/11 warnings which were missed.

The conclusion of the BBC: the evidence doesn't support conspiracy theories.

Okay, let's take a look at a some facts which were "overlooked" by the BBC.

Fact: FEMA was in New York on September 10.

Fact: The BBC stated there were no casualties when WTC 7 collapsed. This is flat out wrong. Master Special Officer Craig Miller of the Secret Service died when the building came down.

Fact: Eight minutes before the Pentagon crash Flight 77 was tracked by radar as it closed to within 30 miles of Washington, therefore the whereabouts of the plane was known, therefore it could have been intercepted.

Fact: Dick Cheney left Washington undefended on 9/11.

The BBC briefly mentioned that Flight 77 hit a reinforced section of the Pentagon. What they failed to mention is that reinforcements on this section were completed on 9/11/2001 meaning this section of the building was nearly deserted when the plane hit.

Fact: White House staff started taking Cipro on 9/11.

Finally, why did the BBC report that WTC 7 had collapsed ~20 minutes before the event occurred
