The Truth Behind 9/11
The Truth Behind 9/11

September 11, 2001 is a time in U.S. history that everyone will remember, it holds a special place in almost every American’s heart, as well as the families in other countries who lost a loved one that day. Several groups of people within our own country and abroad believe that knowledge of this attack was held prior to the actual event. The U.S. government made the citizens believe that two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, and one airplane into the Pentagon. Different conspiracy theories have developed on the internet, and several websites claim to have legitimate cases regarding the validity of the “true” story. The true story, however, is one of pain and suffering that the citizens of America were put through.
Since the day of the attack, rumors have circulated through blogs, magazines, websites, and simple word of mouth claiming that 9/11 was assisted by the U.S. Government. There are many in-depth investigations of the conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks of 9/11. In my first example I will talk about what made the towers collapse. It is quite obvious that planes did not make the Twin Towers collapse, bombs did. Many architects and scientists have concluded that a planes fuel cannot produce enough heat to melt the steel frame of the two buildings that collapsed. No steel structure before has ever collapsed due to fire. While some steel buildings have burned a long time from fire, none have fallen because steel melts at a much higher temperature than gasoline, other fuels or combustibles normally found in buildings can burn at. There is plenty of footage of the towers when they come down. In most of the videos the there is a light flash at the bottom of the towers right before they collapse. The light flash at the bottom is a bomb going off. This evidence indicates that the collapsing of the towers was due to controlled demolition. There has also been accounts of scientists claiming to of found

    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.…

    As we all know, on September 11, 2001 Muslim terrorists attacked the United Stated. They hijacked 4 airplanes in mid-flight.

The third plane demolished part of the Pentagon (the US military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The final plane crashed in Shanks Ville, Pennsylvania.

    Da Final on 9/11

    On September 11, 2001 our country was struck by a series of devastating, and remember able terrorist attacks. Many remember seeing devastating images and video, of some of our beloved country’s most prized landmarks being destroyed and crashed into by hijacked commercial airlines. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda took away lives, security, and pride from our country that day, and things have never been the same since. This brings up a very controversial issue that has been addressed by a college student named Dylan Avery and a few of his friends who created a movie called “loose change” which addressed many 9/11 conspiracies. Three of the main conspiracies addressed are, the US Air Force was ordered to “stand down” on 9/11, or allow these attacks to happen, the impact of the plains could not have been enough to knock down both 110 story towers so explosives must have been detonated in the buildings at the same time of the impacts, and finally the use of “squibs” or controlled explosives, suggesting that the damage caused by the planes wasn’t all that caused the towers to collapse. There are no 9/11 conspiracies that can’t and haven’t already been debunked. Some believe that these attacks were thought out , and planned by our government in accordance with Osama Bin Laden and his group of terrorists know as Al Qaeda. On the other hand there are the “debunkers,” people who have disproved 9/11 conspiracies by reenacting, and researching the happenings of that day.…

    9/11 - the Conspiracy

    • 15 Pages

    The day of September 11th, 2001 the world witnessed with disbelief as the World Trade Center in New York City came crashing down. The shock the attacks generated and the some 3,000 or more people it killed made it one of the brutal attacks in history. One may only wonder how such a grand scaled attack could be carried through. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the September 11th attacks in 2001 were an inside job and the statements of the Bush administration following them were a fabricated truth that many people believed. Unfortunately the tragic event has scarred the lives of many people globally and changed the course of the near future.[1]…

    5. In this course I have assigned a conspiracy debunking book on widespread conspiracy allegations concerning the events of 9/11/01. That book, compiled by the journal POPULAR MECHANICS: Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can’t Stand Up, attempts to silence the avalanche of suspicion triggered by attacks that day. You can obtain the essence of those suspicions by consulting the many "Truther" sites on the Web. To a general reader, explain what we ought to think about 9/11 in the wake of this confrontation over what actually happened on that fateful day and why. Explain why you reached this conclusion. Address this question: How successful can the most thorough debunking be in the wake of allegations of the sort made by the Truther movement? I own several books and CD's making the case for conspiracy for your use if you wish to consult one or more of them. Of course, the internet is full of that material. You might want to entitle your essay, “Can conspiracy doubts ever be put to rest?”.…

    The attacks on America on September 11th, 2001 killed “almost 3,000 people” according to theguarden.com. The attacks include the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the naked field in a rural area in Pennsylvania. After 16 years of mourning, the evidence of the day of September 11th, 2001 still does not add up. Families have been fed lies so the government can cover up their disturbing secrets on the 9/11 attacks. The government has put the blame on Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization. The amount of evidence that has been covered by the government is phenomenal. Here are a few of many pieces of evidence that sources have dug up.…

    What if everything one was supposed to believe was wrong? What if the people who are supposed to protect citizens from danger, do not? What if 9/11, the most tragic day in American history, was caused by the people we are supposed to respect and we are supposed and to believe, our government? Could our government have masterminded this horrific crime? Actually, I believe they did. In August 1997, on the front cover of FEMA’s, The Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Response to Terrorism Manual it shows the World Trade Center towers in the cross hairs, sights used for aiming a gun or missile for accuracy, and then again in June 2000, the Department of Justice released a world terrorism handbook featuring the twin towers also in the cross hairs on the front cover (Loose Change 2nd Edition). I believe that the government has had this planned or contemplated this action since August of 1997.…
