Endless discussion 9 / 11
The invaders sent two of these aircraft to the towers of the World Trade Center, located in the southern part of Manhattan in New York. Flight 11 American Airlines crashed into the WTC-1 tower (north), and 175 United Airlines flight went to the WTC-2 tower (south). As a result, both towers collapsed, causing serious damage to adjacent buildings.
The third aircraft (flight 77 American Airlines) was sent to the Pentagon building, located near Washington. Passengers and the crew of the fourth airliner (93 United Airlines flight) tried to seize control of the aircraft from terrorists, the plane fell into a field near the city of Shanksville in Pennsylvania.
In addition to the 19 terrorists, 2977 people died as a result of the attacks, 24 went missing. Most of the dead were civilians.
The September 11 attacks had a huge impact on American society.
Americans were grateful to emergency workers, especially firefighters, being impressed by the high degree of risk and the heavy losses among them. Many police and emergency personnel took leave from their primary services, and went to New York to help them find the survivors. Over the next few weeks after the attacks, the number of blood donors increased in the country.
20 September 2001, the President addressed the nation and the joint session of Congress, on the events of September 11, subsequent rescue and recovery actions, as well as on the response intentions of the American government. In addition, a significant role was played by the mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, who was highly appreciated by the public both in New York and at the national level.
According to a survey conducted by the Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University, three-quarters of Americans believe that government agencies had certain data that would have prevented the attack, but did not use it.
Start a discussion.
Even before the end of the investigation into the events of September 11, many skeptics appeared who considered everything that had happened as part of a government plan. Further actions of the USA somehow seemed only to confirm their correctness. Like, here for the twin towers and were blown up to justify the invasion of the States in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Official results of the investigation believe, but not all. How not everyone believes in the murder of Osama. Since September 11 is much more complicated, since there are still weak points and inexplicable facts in the official version.
The number of people who have doubts about the official version of events, seems to be increasing every year. Fingers are not enough to count all the communities and associations that insist on an independent investigation of the September 11 attacks.
"The movement for truth in 9 / 11"
"Architects and engineers for the truth about 9 / 11"
"Firemen for the truth about 9 / 11",
"Pilots for the truth about 9 / 11",
“Patriots ask about 9 / 11”, etc.
There are a huge number of people around the world who say: “We think that we haven’t been told the truth yet.” For example, there are two retired generals in the “patriots”, three naval captains, ten colonels and lieutenant colonels, several former and current congressmen and senators, as well as dozens of people who worked for the US government, starting with the Department of Justice, ending the CIA and the FBI, - they all advocate a new investigation.
"The movement for truth in the 9 / 11" (9 / 11 Truth movement).
After the September 11 attacks, various interpretations of these events arose. The first made critical remarks and pointed out the frank anomalies of the official version Michael Ruppert and Canadian journalist Barry Zwicker, Frenchman Jean-Charles Brizard and German authors Matthias Breckers and Andreas von Buelow. They have published several books criticizing the propaganda of US military policy in the American media.
In 2002-2003, under the slogan "Bush did it!" There were several rallies and processions of Americans in San Francisco and Oakland, California.
In 2002, Congress created the “9 / 11 Commission”. 22 July 2004, the commission released its report, which concluded that the terrorist attacks were conceived and carried out by members of al-Qaeda.
After a report from the 9 / 11 Commission, a furious discussion ensued between those who were satisfied with the answers to sensitive questions about 9 \ 11 events and their opponents. About the degree of discussion, you can make an impression by the names of some books:
- “New Pearl Harbor: Troubling Questions for the Bush Administration 9 / 11 (2004) Professor Ray Griffin
- “Report of the Commission 9 / 11. omissions and distortions ”(2005) Professor Ray Griffin
- “Exposing the myths about 9 / 11: Why conspiracy theories do not stand up to criticism (facts)” (Debunking 9 / 11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts) by David Dunbar and Brad Reagan (Brad Reagan ), authors of Popular Mechanics.
"Architects and engineers for the truth about 9 / 11"
For engineers, the tragedy was a challenge to find out how such local damages caused a complete progressive collapse of three, one of the largest buildings in the world. In an interview with the BBC on 2001 in October, English architect Bob Halvorson quite successfully predicted that there would be many “debates about whether the World Trade Center could collapse in the way it did.
Demolition theory has become a prominent part of most of all "conspiracy theories." Shortly after the day of the attack, the mainstream media published that the towers collapsed due to the melting of the steel. Understanding that, at the temperature of burning jet fuel, WTC steel structures should not melt, contributed to the belief among skeptics that the towers would not collapse without outside intervention from anything other than airplanes. Moreover, the NIST report does not say anything strange about the fall of the WTC 7. But it was a fairly large building, not as high as the twin towers, but still 47 floors.
In January, 2007 architect Richard Gage founded the “Architects and Engineers for the Truth About 9 / 11” movement. As of March 2012, the group's motion in the Congress to "conduct a truly independent investigation" of the collapse of the WTC-3 and WTC-7 signed more than 1600 architectural and engineering specialists. Supporters of the movement claim that the collision with the aircraft and the fire caused by the collision could not weaken the frame of the building to such an extent as to cause a catastrophic collapse, and that buildings could not collapse completely and at the speed with which they fell, without an additional source of influence used to weaken Their structure. Prospective explosives are termite or nano-thermite, molten steel found under the debris indicates explosives, and that an ordinary fire of the aircraft cannot generate enough heat for this, referring to the red-hot debris removed by construction equipment from the site. collapse.
Immediately after the catastrophe, a situation of uncertainty arose as to who has sufficient authority for conducting an official investigation. In contrast to the practice that exists in the investigation of air crashes, clear procedures for investigating the collapse of buildings simply did not exist.
In October, 2002 of the year, under increasing public pressure, demanded a more detailed investigation, Congress passed a bill to create a new group managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which published its report in September of 2005. The theory of demolition was rejected. In the 2008 report of the year, NIST concluded that the explosion could not have had any observable consequences. In particular, the smallest amount of explosives that could destroy an 79 column would have caused noise in 130-140 decibels at a distance of 1 km from 7 WTC, but such noise was not noticed by any recording equipment or bystanders. NIST also denies that the WTC buildings collapsed because the steel was molten, and said that the weakened steel, along with the damage caused by the impact of the aircraft, caused the destruction
One of the most critical moments of the investigation was that clearing the crash site actually led to the destruction of the remaining building components. Only a fraction of a percent of the remains of the building remained available for investigation after the completion of the clearing work; in total, 236 of individual steel fragments were collected.
Specialists in structural mechanics and building design generally accept the pyrogen model, in which the WTC buildings collapsed under the influence of gravity, without the use of explosives.
Pentagon.
A political activist and at the same time "freaking Parisian intellectual" Thierry Meyssan argues that American Airlines 77 flight did not crash into the Pentagon.
According to him, the Pentagon was hit by a rocket guided by someone from the US government. The holes in the walls of the Pentagon were too small for the Boeing 757 to do: “How did an 125-wide plane of feet and a length of 155 foot leave a hole with a diameter of only 60 feet?”.
Meissan's book, "11 September 2001 of the Year. Monstrous fraud ”(English 9 / 11: The Big Lie) has become a bestseller in France and is available in more than a dozen languages. The book received in France a powerful television promotion, but at the same time was subjected to sharp criticism from both the French and American press. At least a strange conclusion was made in his review by the special correspondent of Le nouvel Observateur in the city of New York: if there is no photo or shooting of the plane crashing into the Pentagon, does this really mean that there was no plane crash? The French newspaper Liberation called the book "woven from wild and reckless accusations, which, moreover, are completely unfounded."
The main arguments of Meyssan:
- The Pentagon is the largest administrative building in the world. It is not located in Washington itself, but in Arlington, in the neighboring state of Virginia. In order to inflict maximum damage, Boeing would have to swoop onto the roof of the Pentagon. This would also be the simplest solution: the building covers a surface of 11 7363 square meters. But the terrorists, on the contrary, choose to hit the facade, although its height does not exceed 24 meters.
- The case ordered so that the plane crashed into that part of the Pentagon, which was under repair. The victims, for the most part, consisted of civilian personnel.
- there are no photos where the wings and fuselage are scattered outside the building, that is, on the lawn. The fuselage of the Boeing is made of a material similar to that of which bodies of cars and trucks are made. Snapshot of the Associated Press, taken at the most
the first minutes: the fire brigade cars had already arrived, but they themselves had not yet begun operations and the upper floors had not yet collapsed, indicating that there was no aircraft.
- None of the security cameras in the Pentagon station spotted the Boeing at any time or in any angle.
Based on this video, an 2006D reconstruction of the crash was attempted in 3. Using the converter, key events from the video were converted to the 3D model. The extremely accurate 3D event model allows you to see it from any angle, providing a unique opportunity for viewers to independently draw conclusions.
WTC 7
In May 2002, beginner director Dylan Avery began writing a film script about how he and his friends learned that the events of September 11 were not an organized Islamist attack, but a planned action of the American government. Collecting information for the film, Avery came to the conclusion that storymay not be pure fiction. Two years later, the feature film turned into a documentary - "Change Currency" (2005). In 2007, the second edition came out. One of the main experts of the film is Dario Fo, presented as the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The film criticizes the findings of an official commission investigating the causes of the 11 September 2001 tragedy.
Avery notes that in the WTC tower number 7 leased offices were unusual tenants: the Emergency Management Department, the Pentagon, and the CIA's economic department. Formerly a simple intelligence department for foreign delegations at the UN in the 50s, under President Bill Clinton, he illegally expanded his activities to economic espionage in Manhattan. As the main potential of the American intelligence apparatus was reoriented from anti-Soviet espionage to an economic war, the CIA's New York base became the most important global center of economic intelligence. The traditionalist branch of the CIA and OKNSH vividly opposed such a reorientation.
The main focus is on the video with Barry Jennings, filmed by the BBC. Barry was working in the building when the smoking skyscrapers were still standing, and he testifies that the building was damaged. The fireman, who was taking Barry and another person out of the building, said: “Do not look down,” because among the building debris on the floor lay the bodies of the dead.
Flight 93
One of the most popular conspiracy theories around Flight 93 says that he was actually shot down by a US jet fighter jet. For example, David Ray Griffin and Alex Jones claim that most of the aircraft, including engine parts, fell a few kilometers from the first wreckage, which is very unusual for such a plane crash. According to Jones, the planes for a crash usually leave a small field with debris on the ground, and this is not consistent with the reports on which part of the debris was found much further than the place of the fall.
According to Michael C. Hines, a plane crash expert who was investigating the crash of TWA's 800 Flight on 1996, this statement is wrong: not unusual
Michael Moore.
“Fahrenheit 9 / 11” (“9 / 11 Fahrenheit”) is a pamphlet filmed by American director and political activist Michael Moore in 2004. The film illustrates the phenomenon of terrorism as a convenient tool created and supported by the United States, criticized by US President George W. Bush, including in connection with his involvement in the events of September 11 2001.
Fahrenheit 9 / 11 is based on the material of the book “Where is my country, man?” (Dude, Where is My Country?) Written by Moore himself. The film highlights the range of interests and subjects of this cooperation - oil, supplies weapons, contracts, etc.
The title of the film and its motto “Fahrenheit 9 / 11 - the temperature at which freedom burns” beat the name of the dystopian Ray Bradbury's “451 degree Fahrenheit” and its epigraph “451 ° Fahrenheit - the temperature at which the paper burns”.
After the screening at the Cannes Film Festival, the film won, perhaps, the longest applause in the history of the film forum. The exact time, of course, could not be established, but the figure from 15 to 25 minutes appeared in the media. On the day of the Cannes Film Festival award, it was the second documentary film that managed to take the main prize of the Cannes Film Festival - the Golden Palm.
Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9 / 11 raised a real storm in the United States. At first, the very possibility of wide film distribution was called into question. But after Moore received the Palm branch in Cannes, the attention of the American viewer and the interest of distributors were guaranteed.
In his official press statement, Michael Moore said: “My film is primarily focused on those 50 percent of people who never go to the polls. Have they become an elite during this time? Have they become richer? Are they well educated? Not! They are also poor. Who are these 50 percent? First of all, it is the working class, single mothers, uneducated youth and the overwhelming number of African Americans. ”
The author of the picture claims that there was strong business ties between George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden’s father. As stated in the film, they formed when Bush Sr. was still in office as the President of the United States, were maintained for a long time and were broken only two months after the monstrous attacks.
Michael Moore shows a politically paralyzed president at a time when he is being told about a collision of an airplane with one of the twin towers. It turns out that just a few weeks before these tragic events, Bush ignored the intelligence report, which reported on plans to attack the United States.
Thanks to the 11 events of September 2001, Bush and his Republican friends from the White House managed to impose their political agenda on stunned America. The “war on terror” became a justification for curtailing democratic rights in the country. This led to the adoption of the anti-democratic “Patriot Act 2001”, which was unanimously missed by Congress. In one of the scenes, Moore asks the representative of the Democrats about why they supported the Act, without even reading its content. Congressman replies that the bills are not read in advance.
The film used the song Fire Water Burn of the band Bloodhound gang, as it was popular with the military in Iraq.
Moore plays on the contrast of the vanquished and the victors in this war against terrorism. The camera operator shows top managers of corporations when they discuss the possible benefits from the exploitation of Iraq’s oil reserves and the development of a multi-million dollar budget intended for “reconstruction”. One of the representatives of corporations without a hint of embarrassment says that "war is very useful for business." Moore shows how America’s ruling class wars wars in order to maintain the existing social order.
Interesting idea …
In May, a very interesting book by Canadian journalist Jonathan Kay was published in 2011. “Among the activists are“ The Movement for Truth in 9 / 11 ”: A Journey to the Growing Underground of American Conspiracyologists (Among the Truthers: A Journey Through America's Growing Conspiracist Underground ). The author examines the most popular conspiracy theories and related movements in the United States, such as the John Birch Society, the Bilderberg Group, Reptilians (David Ike) and Vaccination (vaccination). The book focuses on the 9 / 11 Truth movement and its leaders, Alex Jones and Michael Ruppert.
The book reflects Kay’s interest in conspiracy theories psychology, which he often researched as a regular contributor to the New York Post. Kay is trying to identify the factors that make people believe in conspiracies. In his opinion, the popularity of conspiracy theories is a consequence of the influence of postmodern academic theory, for example, deconstruction. Focusing on the political motives that drive the creators of conspiracy theories, he believes that psychological factors are not to be disregarded either. He argues that a person is usually drawn to conspiracy theories during a mid-life crisis (when an adult realizes his or her mortality).
Of course, this is a joke. But in every joke - only a fraction of a joke ..
