This is just random musings. I really don't know enough of the situation to fervently declare that this or that happened, but feedback, random musings, stories, and what not are all appreciated.
Did y'all read the Commission report? Give it a look-see if you haven't, and you don't want to then oh well. http://www.911commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf
There's a section in James Bamford's Body of Secrets (I'm sure it's this one, but it might be a later one of his) that goes in a lot more credible depth than the (mis)information from nearly every conspiracy theory I've encountered (I'm not implying that a lot of these conspiracy theories hold much water, but some pose interesting questions that are beyond my ability to answer easily). What's interesting is that the 9/11 Commission hardly questioned the NSA's role in this, so certain crucial information is missing that can either clear the US governments' (or a select few highly influential members') complicity or it can be damning. Since the 9/11 Commission failed to properly investigate the NSA, then it becomes difficult for me to say that there was no wrongdoing on the US's part since many crucial questions weren't asked or were outright ignored by the NSA...
As for those crack theories about having wiring technicians plant bombs in the towers, and what not, those are bit ridiculous. But according to NSA's records from Body of Secrets, what's interesting is that the NSA's whole computer system was shut down a few days before 9/11 (maybe a week or two at the most before), and this had them backlogged with tons of work before the events occurred. What's weird is that such a shutdown is extremely rare, and it looks too coincedental. Perhaps almost convienent, but this is only speculation since not enough information was collected on the NSA's role during the 9/11 Commission. All we can look at are the events that happened beforehand. The NSA definitely knew most of the going on's of these terrorists, but... somehow it happened,perhaps they were close to figuring out what was going, perhaps certain people were withholding information from the rest of the agency, perhaps.. well, a lot of things, but it's all speculation since the 9/11 Commission miserably failed in getting the good answers from the NSA.
Also, there's a mention of the question, "why wasn't that airliner alerted to anyone after it strayed of course?" Because when that happens without permission, there's jets scrambling in the air and control tower operators asking questions, but either the first jet's or the second's (probably both) off-course trajectories weren't really reported, which was odd because usually no one ignores such things when they happen.
Sure there was the bickering between the FBI and CIA in their respective CT deparments, but still that's an insufficient reason which explains why the US bungled this one up so badly.
Now, I'm talking out of my ass: I heard that the owner of the twin towers a few days before they fell, bought a hugely expensive insurance policy that covers for damage from airplanes--or at least terrorist attacks. If that's true, then it's just a coincidence, but an interesting one.
Also, I never could properly explain this one: People sometimes point at reruns of the building while it collapses and they comment, "Isn't that peculiar? It feel down so nice and neatly, because when buildings are purposely demolished, it takes careful planning and well-placed explosives to do the job right. But a huge jet collides into the side of the building and the building collapses more or less stably." Now, perhaps these buildings were designed to do that, I have no idea and I just can't explain that one, so some more insight would be appreciated.
Also, I see people pointing at pictures of debris flying out of the sides of the building several floors away from the impact area. I'm sure when a building collapses, air gets trapped and shoots out at random spots, so that probably explains that, but I don't know much about the workings of demolishing buildings.
So, that's pretty much all I know. Questions? Comments? Criticisms?
Thats pretty good LOL.
