As the airplanes crashed one by one into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon footage revealed that the Pentagon crash may not have been a plane. Even if it was an airplane how come the air squadron’s near the White House scramble to shoot the plane down before it could hit the pentagon. Fine, even if the fighters were not assembled the question remains is that how did the novice pilot manage to crash into the building straight without damaging any of the surroundings such as the lawn. Not too much of the debris of the aircraft is visible clearly not the engines and wings which also did not have any supposed effect…
After the dust and debris settled, many who were at the scene became furious with what had just occurred. How could something this large happen on U.S. ground? There…
When I read this article I thought this would be a good resource cause if nothing happened to the center core, which was the majority of the tower, then it would still be standing even with a ball of flames burning on the outside. So if the fire from the plane couldn’t take it down then how did it collapse? Explosives, because they found in the foundation, which was 70 feet deep, there were 47 huge box columns, connected to the bedrock; the steel walls of these structures were 4 inches thick. Those walls were found as molten steel 5 weeks later and the fire from the jet fuel cant burn hot enough to melt it, but what can is a chemical found in demolition explosives called Thermite.…
The Oklahoma City Bombing took place on April 19, 1995. It was considered to be the worst terrorist attack that took place in the U.S. until September 11, 2001. The methods of the attack were very simple. A very large, homemade bomb was placed inside a rental truck outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The bomb was detonated at 9:02 a.m., leaving critical damages to the building, as well as killing and wounding many others. The attack was brought about by Timothy McVeigh with the assistance of Terry Nichols. Both of these men were American citizens who had once been members of the U.S. military. An eyewitness told the authorities about McVeigh, who had conveniently already been arrested not for a traffic violation not long after the…

The stalled and started its descend to earth. They tried to restart the engines but they wouldn’t ignite. Therefore they crashed the plane behind a column of houses. The only fatalities were the two men on board. The cause of this accident was the pilot and co-pilot acting in an irresponsible manner for which was the cause of their fatal deaths.…
Within the past hundred years, terrorist attacks have blatantly become more severe than ever. These attacks are caused by groups who are filled with loathing towards others. In fact, one can see how terrorists are using their attacks to elicit fear and gain power in the world when analyzing the Holocaust, the events of 9/11, and the Paris bombings.…
I called work, Inland Express Airport Shuttle Service, to see whether I would be working that day or not, all the time watching the TV screen. Oh God, another replay of the plane flying into the building, the commentators still speculating on whether it was an accident or intentional. Then a new sight, what’s going on. Here comes a second plane heading for the other tower, then disappearing into the tower in a plume of flame and smoke. I guess we can disregard the accident theory. Who’s responsible for this, who could possibly do something like this, on American soil no less? I was told that, yes I would be expected into work that day, although to do what no-one could say.…
When I watched the documentary, “Seconds from Disaster: 9/11” I learned so much about these horrific attacks on America, and I felt a wave of emotions pass over me. On the day of September 11, 2001, I learned that Operation Vigilant Guardian was scheduled to take place. This operation was to simulate an attack coming in from the nation’s borders as an air defence exercise to make sure America was prepared for war. In the early morning hours, 5 men checked in at Boston Logan Airport for American Airlines flight 11 to Los Angeles, CA from Boston, MA. 3 of the men were actually selected for extra scrutiny during security, yet all 5 men passed through security with no incidents whatsoever.…
On 28 April 1988, at 1346, a Boeing 737-200, tail number N73711, operated by Aloha Airlines identified as flight 243 (NTSB, 1989, Pg. i.) suffered a structural failure and explosive decompression at 24,000 ft. The aircraft was on its fifth flight of the day accomplishing the usual ¡§short hops¡¨ between the Hawaiian Islands en route form Hilo to Honolulu. There were two pilots, three flight attendants, a FAA observer in the jump seat, and eighty-nine passengers on board. At the moment of the rapid decompression, a flight attendant was literally sucked out of the fuselage and was never found and presumed dead. Seven passengers and one flight attendant suffered serious injuries. The rest of the souls on board were unharmed aside from the shock of the accident.…
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the July 22, 2013 nose-down landing of a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700 at LaGuardia Airport in New York. The accident occurred at 5:45 p.m. after the twin-engine jet's nose landing gear collapsed rearward and upward into the fuselage, damaging the electronics bay, which houses avionics and other equipment. The exterior of the airplane was also damaged from sliding 2,175 feet on its nose along Runway 4 before coming to rest, off to the right side of the runway. Southwest flight 345 originated in Nashville. All 145 passengers and five crew members evacuated the airplane, with nine being treated for minor injuries. The airplane's slides deployed normally.…
9. Black Boxes Found By Search Crew Kept Secret During the ensuing weeks after the attacks, the Black boxes were one of the most important items to find. They were the only evidence into what happened inside the cockpits of the plane. 3 of 4 black boxes were found, and only one was in good enough condition to listen to. The tape was not initially released, but was shared with the families in 2002. Skeptics believe the tapes were not disclosed in order to support the secret scheme.…
