Who really blew up the twin towers in New York? An American fairy tale about a plane crashing into the Pentagon How many people died when the twin towers fell.

TBILISI, Sep 11 - Sputnik. The largest terrorist act in the history of mankind was committed in the United States exactly fifteen years ago.

On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda suicide bombers hijacked four passenger planes in the United States, aiming two of them at the symbol of business New York - the World shopping center, and the other two - to the Pentagon and, presumably, to the White House or the Capitol. All aircraft, except the last one, reached their targets. The fourth hijacked plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

19 terrorists were also killed in the attacks, 15 of them were citizens Saudi Arabia, two - United United Arab Emirates, one for Egypt and one for Lebanon.

Chronology

At 8:46 am (hereinafter local time), an American Airlines Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) on Manhattan Island in New York between the 93rd and 99th floors. On board were 81 passengers (including five terrorists) and 11 crew members.

At 9:03 a.m., a United Airlines Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center between the 77th and 85th floors. There were 56 passengers and nine crew members on board.

At 9:37 a.m., an American Airlines Boeing 757 flying from Washington to Los Angeles crashed into the Pentagon. There were 58 passengers and six crew members on board.

At 10:03 a.m., a United Airlines Boeing 757 flying from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, crashed into a field in southwestern Pennsylvania, near Shanksville, 200 kilometers from Washington. There were 37 passengers and seven crew members on board.

As a result of a severe fire, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59, and at 10:28 the North Tower of the WTC.

At 18:16, the 47-storey building of the World Trade Center complex, located in close proximity to the WTC towers, collapsed.

The exact amount of damage caused by the September 11 attacks is not known. In September 2006, US President George W. Bush announced that the damage from the September 11, 2001 attacks for the United States amounted to the lowest estimate of $ 500 billion.

Investigation and search for those responsible

On November 27, 2002, an independent commission to investigate the September 11 attacks (the 9/11 commission) was established in the United States. On July 22, 2004, the commission published the final report on the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy. One of the main conclusions of the 600-page document was the recognition that the perpetrators of the attacks took advantage of "deep administrative failures" in the work of the US government.

The only defendant in the United States in the case of the attacks is a French citizen of Moroccan origin Zacarias Moussaoui. He was arrested in August 2001 after graduating from flight school in Oklahoma and training on a Boeing 747 simulator in Minnesota. In April 2005, Moussaoui was found guilty of intent to commit a terrorist attack, which was supposed to be the fifth in a series of tragic events on September 11, 2001. On the personal instructions of Osama bin Laden, he was to hijack the plane and go to ram the White House in Washington - the terrorist himself stated this at the trial. In May 2006, by decision of the federal court of the city of Alexandria (Virginia), where the trial took place, Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Six others suspected of involvement in the attacks were arrested in 2002 and 2003, they spent several years in CIA prisons, and in 2006 they were taken to a camp at the American base in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

In February 2008, the US Department of Defense charged six prisoners with murder and war crimes as part of its investigation into the September 11 attacks.

The charges were brought against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who, according to the 9/11 Commission report, is a central figure in the preparation of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States; a native of Yemen, Ramzi Binalshiba (another spelling of Ramzi bin al-Sheba), who provided organizational support to the terrorists and transferred money to them; Mohammed al-Qahtani, who, according to investigators, on September 11, 2001, was supposed to become another, the 20th hijacker of four American aircraft; as well as Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed Khawsawi (another spelling of Mustafa Ahmad Hausawi) and Waleed bin Attash.

In May 2008, the Pentagon dropped the charges against Mohammed al-Qahtani.

After President Barack Obama in January 2009 ordered the suspension of all activities of the military prosecutor's office at Guantanamo Bay and promised to close the facility, the military department had to drop the charges. However, this promise of the president remained unfulfilled.

Having received no support in Congress, the head of state in early March 2011 ordered the resumption of military trials against suspected terrorists held in Guantanamo Bay prison.

In early April 2011, US Attorney General Eric Holder confirmed that defendant Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other defendants in the 9/11 case would not appear before a US civilian court, but before a special military commission at Guantanamo Bay.

On May 31, 2011, the US Military Attorney's Office again charged five suspects, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, with involvement in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

On May 5, 2012, a military tribunal filed formal charges against five suspects of involvement in organizing the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the United States. They are accused of organizing a conspiracy, attacking civilians, intentionally causing physical harm, murder, violating the laws of war, causing destruction, hijacking and terrorism.

All five defendants refused to answer whether they plead guilty.

In July 2014, a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay ruled that the trial of one of the five accused of involvement in the terrorist attack, Ramzi Binalshiba, should be held separately due to the conclusion of military doctors that he had a "serious mental illness."

Hearings on the case of those accused of involvement in the organization of the terrorist act continue.

Iran's responsibility

In March 2016, New York District Judge George Daniels issued an absentee judgment ordering Iran to pay $7.5 billion to the relatives and other members of those who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The judge determined that the Iranian authorities must pay another three billion to insurers who covered property damage and other material losses. Earlier, Judge Daniels ruled that Tehran was unable to prove its non-involvement in assisting the organizers of the attack, and therefore the Iranian authorities bear a share of responsibility for the damage caused during it.

Memorial and new World Trade Center

On September 11, 2011, the World Trade Center Memorial was opened on the site of the destroyed Twin Towers in New York. It consists of two square pools-fountains, located right at the bases of the former twin towers, along the inner walls of which water streams cascade down, leaving into square holes located at the bottom of each of the pools. The names of the 2,983 victims of the attacks (including the six who died in the 1993 World Trade Center attack) are carved on the bronze slabs that line the parapets of both fountains.

Opened in November 2014 new complex World Trade Center. It is the fourth tallest skyscraper in the world - its height is 541 meters. Construction began in April 2006 on the corner of a 65,000-square-meter site where the twin towers of the demolished mall used to stand.

Since 2002, September 11 has been celebrated in the United States as Patriot Day, since 2009, after the approval of Act 111-13 of the US General Law, this date is also referred to as the nationwide Day of Service and Remembrance.

The official version is an official lie!

US Army Sergeant Donald Buswell was disciplined "for using a government-owned email address to send messages hostile to the United States." A veteran of the Iraq campaign had the imprudence to doubt official version the events of September 11, 2001. In particular, he wrote to the editors of the information resource 911truth.org: “It is worth weighing all the circumstances, and it becomes clear that a few Arabs sitting in caves with mobile phones could not organize this.” Literally, the name of the site, which became fatal for Donald, is translated as "September 11 - the truth"

New Pearl Harbor

Americans trust their government. But not all. America's dissidents have more than enough reason to doubt that they are always being told the truth. The assassination of President Kennedy is still a mystery with many unknowns. The counting of votes in the last presidential elections is shrouded in fog ... And the biggest American disaster - Pearl Harbor? Then, in December 1941, the Japanese seemed to be invited to attack the main US naval base. It was necessary to get a reason for war, regardless of the number of their own victims. The tragedy of September 11, 2001, similar in scale, also raised a lot of questions.

Four passenger Boeings were hijacked within an hour by 19 Arab terrorists armed with cardboard cutters. The suicide pilots took control of the planes and changed course for New York and Washington. Two Boeings were sent to the twin towers of the World Trade Center. A fire broke out in the skyscrapers, causing their complete destruction. The third Boeing crashed into the Pentagon. Passengers on the fourth plane fought the hijackers, causing the plane to crash in Pennsylvania. It was an attack on America, planned by Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, an international terrorist organization composed mostly of Arabs.

This is the generally accepted version of events. It finally took shape within a few days after the disaster, becoming official.

Calls from hijacked planes are fake

There were 256 people in four Boeings. A total of 13 calls were made from the aircraft. The investigative reports have detailed description Arab hijackers, minute by minute description of their actions. In the absence of surviving passengers, their "witness testimony" was the recording of telephone conversations, on which the official version largely rests. During the investigation of the tragedy, they were reproduced in front of relatives, who, in the interests of the investigation, were forbidden to transmit the content of the conversations. However, there was a leak to the press, and Newsweek magazine told what the doomed were talking about ...

Among the callers was the wife of US Deputy Attorney General Ted Olson, lawyer Barbara Olson. She called him twice from a plane the terrorists were using to attack the Pentagon. Only passenger Melissa Bowie managed to contact ground services - she got through to the dispatcher. The call lasted 4 minutes 2 seconds and ended halfway through the phrase.

Following Newsweek, the conversations were quoted by many publications. The last words of the flight attendant just before the plane turned into a fireball after colliding with a skyscraper: "God, God ... I see buildings ... Water." Or a very simple phrase: “Hi, mom, this is Mark Bingham” ...

It is strange here not even that a person introduces himself to his mother by his first and last name, but that he was able to get through at all. At the beginning of the decade, the probability of a successful connection from a cell phone from a jet airliner flying on a normal cruising speed and height, was about 1 in 100. The probability of two connections is 1 in 10,000. The probability of thirteen is negligible.

As the plane descends, it seems to be easier to get through on a mobile phone. However, other factors come into play. At a lower altitude, a jet aircraft leaves the limits of one cell within 1-8 seconds. During this time, the phone manages to establish contact with it, but it is already in the zone of another cell ...

These data are confirmed experimentally thanks to the professor of two universities at once A. Dewdney. He approached the study of the issue in a scientific way. He assembled a group of researchers and flew three times during 2003 on rented planes to check how communication is carried out from different phones (in the third experiment, let's say, five handsets were involved - three Motorolas (i95cl, StarTac, Timeport 8767), as well as "Audiovox-8300" and "Nokia-6310i" Dewdney called his research "Project Achilles" - clearly meaning that the invincible ancient Greek hero had one weak spot.

Only in 2004-2005, a number of companies began to develop equipment to ensure sustainable mobile communications in airliners - Boeings and Airbuses.

The most "slippery" questions

At American intelligence agencies there were at least 12 intelligence reports about the possible use of liners as weapons. Buildings were known to be attacked, and the WTC is the first thing that comes to mind. Information came from 1994 to August 2001, when it became known about the plan of Osama bin Laden to send a plane to the US Embassy in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Why was nothing done?

What kind of fire broke out in the White House just between the strikes of the first and second planes? Footage of the fire was broadcast by ABC, and then information about it completely disappeared. Why? And what is the probability that such an emergency at the presidential residence could happen in this particular time period?

The hijackers underwent aerobatic training, but the instructors considered them incapable of flying even light single-engine aircraft. About one of the terrorist pilots in the flight school there was a note: "he cannot fly on his own." But the Arabs took control, having received the necessary knowledge and skills from training courses and textbooks, skillfully flew to the targets and clearly hit them. Why were they able to do this? The wingspan of the Boeing 767-300 is 47 meters, and the width of the tower is 63. The difference, as it is not difficult to calculate, is only 15 meters. Just snipers, not kamikaze! These aces acted with such inhuman precision, as if they were guided by a radio beacon. In the case of a Boeing 757-200 that crashed into the Pentagon, the arithmetic is as follows: the height of the building is 24 meters, and the height of the aircraft itself is more than 13. And this colossus enters the ram strictly horizontally, creeping above the ground in the city limits, and strikes the US military building is exactly at the height between the first and second floors.

However, the damage to the Pentagon is not severe enough to be the result of a collision with a 115-ton aircraft flying at a speed of 400 to 700 kilometers per hour. On the site in front of the wall, not only was there no debris, but on the grass there were traces of burning from the fuel from the aircraft tanks. The surviving photos do not show wings - only a neat hole in the wall. Why? The explosion fell exactly on that sector of the Pentagon, which was under repair. The counterterrorism department was already evicted from there, the Command Center navy not yet universe. Among the 125 dead at the Pentagon, there is only one general, and most of them are civilian specialists.

Fragments of the liner that crashed in Pennsylvania were found 8 miles from the crash site, and locals reported burning debris falling from the sky. How could this be, if the fourth "Boeing" was killed, falling to the ground?

Finally, also on September 11, there was a military putsch in Chile - 28 years before the American tragedy. And 11 years before her, and also on September 11, George W. Bush, speaking to Congress, first uttered the phrase: "The New World Order." But that's just a coincidence.

September 11, 2001 (or 9/11) attacks - a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks on the United States by an Islamic terrorist group Al Qaeda in New York and Washington. They took place on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

Four groups of terrorists, each with a trained pilot, took over passenger aircraft and sent them to targets - the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed in a deserted area in Pennsylvania before reaching Washington. The US government said the masterminds of the attack belonged to the al-Qaeda group. About 3,000 people died during these attacks. Most of them were citizens of the United States, but approximately 300 were from the UK, India, Canada and other countries.

Planes that became the instruments of terrorist attacks

The first of the four hijacked aircraft was American Airlines Flight 11 (Boeing 767-200ER). It made daily flights between Boston and Los Angeles. When captured at 7:59 am on September 11, 2001, there were 81 passengers on board (out of 158 seats). Forty-seven minutes later, this plane crashed into the North Tower of the New York World Trade Center at 94-98 floors, at a speed of 440 miles per hour, carrying 9,717 gallons of jet fuel. (An American gallon is equal to 3.78541178 liters.)

The second was United Airlines Flight 175, also a Boeing 767-200ER, also flying from Boston to Los Angeles. It took off at 8:14 am on September 11 and carried 56 passengers (out of 168 seats) on board. Captured by terrorists, it crashed into the South Tower of the mall at 9:03 am, at a speed of 540 miles per hour, with 9,118 gallons of fuel in the tanks.

The third terrorist hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757-200. He flew from Washington to Los Angeles at 8:20 am on September 11, 2001. The plane was two-thirds empty (58 passengers out of 176). It crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. at 530 miles per hour with 4,000 gallons of fuel in its tanks.

The fourth plane used by the terrorists was United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757-200. It was captured 42 minutes after taking off at 8 am from Newark to San Francisco. There were only 37 passengers on board and just over 7,000 gallons of fuel. It crashed at 560 mph in an empty field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 am.

Casualties and destruction

All 246 people on the four planes, as well as 19 hijackers, died in the attacks. Both attacked towers of the World Trade Center caught fire. The South Tower (WTC-2) burned for 56 minutes before falling and being destroyed. The North Tower (WTC-1) burned for 102 minutes, then also fell. During the collapse, parts of the towers hit other neighboring buildings. Due to these damages, the third tower, No. 7, of the World Trade Center (WTC-7) fell at 5:20 pm. Many other buildings nearby were so badly damaged that they had to be demolished. 2,602 people died at the World Trade Center.

The plane crashed into the Pentagon from the west side. It damaged three of the five "rings" that make up the Pentagon. At the same time, 125 people died in the Pentagon.

The United States government paid the families of the victims of the attacks an average of $1.8 million.

In total, 2996 people died from the events of September 11, 2001, including firefighters and policemen who tried to save other people.

It is believed to have been the first major terrorist attack by foreigners on the United States. In 1941 when Japanese aircraft attacked a US naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was not yet part of the United States. Several major terrorist attacks against American targets have been undertaken before, but most of them took place outside the United States (for example, at a Lebanese Marine camp).

When investigating the causes of the attacks, "conspiracy theories" were put forward, according to which some people in the US government knew about the impending attacks in advance or even organized them.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the President of the United States Bush declared the so-called "war on terrorism". It was expressed first in the strengthening of security measures within the United States, and then in real wars on the territory Afghanistan and Iraq. During these wars, the regimes were overthrown. Taliban and Saddam Hussein. In May 2011, US special forces killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.

The Al-Qaeda and Taliban groups are recognized as terrorist in the Russian Federation and banned by law.

September 11, 2001 there was a new "Pearl Harbor" for America. The Twin Towers fell, the Pentagon was attacked, 4 passenger airliners were hijacked and people died. In a word, catastrophic event with loss of life, which completely turned the course of the usual peaceful life of carefree US citizens: a “war on terrorism” was declared, searches of passengers were introduced at each airport before landing, a couple of “draconian” laws were adopted, and they decided to implant “chips” in citizens’ bodies so that everyone was “ under control and accounting. In a word, "now not a step without the permission of the authorities."

The official version goes like this:

“September 11, 2001, 19 suicide bombers hijacked 4 civilian airliners, of which 2 attacked the buildings of the World Trade Center ( hereinafter - WTC) in New York, namely, the WTC 1 building and the WTC 2 building, the third plane attacked the Pentagon building, and the fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania before reaching the attack site.

Al-Qaeda was blamed for the attacks. The war on terrorism has begun.

Well, now we will see how modern myths are made, how you are forced to believe in what your eyes cannot believe, and how you are asked to take “the word” of the government, special services and pocket scientists and specialists.

Consider this myth, as always, from 3 sides.

WTC attack 1.

WTC attack 2.

Fall of WTC 1.

The fall of the WTC 2.

CONCLUSION: As you can see, the fall vertical down, without deviating right or left, right on its own foundation, forming huge clouds of dust. The blow to the first tower was exactly in the center, the blow to the second tower was tangential, without touching the central columns. However, the tower with the tangential impact collapsed first.
The main thing is that you see both towers fell to their foundations. And the fall happened very quickly, almost from free fall speed (10 meters per second, with acceleration) as if inside at all there was no concrete and steel, which should keep all this mass on weight for the last 38 years! 415 meters of steel and concrete fell in 12-14 seconds. It's incredibly fast!

2. What the fall of the WTC looked like 7. The building without an airplane, without an attack, but fell next to the first two on the same day.

The building fell on its own foundation. Few people know about this building. Most people only know about the 2 Twin Towers that fell on September 11, 2001, and the third was said too little "officially". The report mentions exactly 1 line, but there is no plane, then it’s not interesting to talk.

Look at the picture, it is almost across the street, and it was hardly touched by either seismic or physical coverage.

Nevertheless, it was this building of 47 floors, built of steel and concrete, which was not only hit by planes, but also by rockets, satellites, etc., suddenly 200 meters high “ fell from the 9/11 fire. In the official version, they wrote: fell from the fire". The funny thing is that not a single concrete building in the history of construction has fallen from a “fire”, except for the American World Trade Center, of course.

3. And this is how the "controlled demolition" of the building with explosives looks like.

For you to understand, the main task " controlled demolition» - remove the building so that neighboring buildings do not suffer. That is, you must lay the building CAREFULLY ON ITS SAME FOUNDATION so that it does not fall to the sides, does not touch the neighboring ones. On the last video you will see unsuccessful options, when not everything went according to plan and neighboring buildings suffered! Laying on the foundation in the form of fine dust is considered "aerobatics" by demolition workers.

Demolition of a skyscraper in the USA.

UNSUCCESSFUL demolition of the building!

Well, where are the explosions, you say? Good question, if you have never thought about what explosions are in general. The ones you are used to seeing are called "Explosion", that is, an explosion directed outward. The shock wave from it diverges to the sides ...

Schematically, "Explosion" looks like this:

In contrast, there is "Implosium", that is, an explosion directed inwards. This is how nuclear charges are detonated when explosives are placed around the plutonium core, which compresses the plutonium into a critical mass, and it explodes. Most likely, it was here that the Implosium technology was applied. The explosions were aimed at cutting through the internal steel beams so as not to prevent the building from falling.

Schematically, Implosium looks like this:

As a result, you get such cut beams. It was as if they had been stabbed with a red-hot knife. Imagine that the thickness of the steel in this particular beam is 12 cm. It's like your PALM! Even along the edges you can see the melted metal, and the slag that remained in its place.

Close-up.

Fire? Do you seriously think that the fire cuts so neatly and only in one place?

Yeah. This is the same explanation as

orange is an apple
(towers fall from the fire),

and the eyes say

orange is "orange"
(turrets fall from explosives),

who do you believe? Eyes or ears?

This?

or this?

Conclusions of the "Digital Universe": the buildings were demolished using standard "controlled demolition" technology. It means that explosives placed in them much before the planes hit them. The planes were only an external special effect. BUT it's cool! On a plane, crash into tall buildings, and then also blow them up into dust! Only Hollywood can work on such a scale. Then they came up with a theory about Al-Qaeda and suicide bombers, and a new holy war began - “ war on terror". There are no winners in it, there are no losers in it, because there is no specific enemy. Terrorism is an endless struggle, and that's exactly what is profitable US military-industrial complex. There, in the end, these are eternal state orders, and the eternal flow of money for specific corporations and specific people. They will remain in power for the next decades, because it is always necessary to "protect" society from the next "terrorists". And it doesn't matter that these "terrorists" are not sitting in the caves of Afghanistan, but somewhere much closer ... in the offices of the special services, in the intelligence offices, where educated people sit, with good technologies.

This is how myths are created in the 21st century. Remember technique.

Next, we will look at the attack on the Pentagon, and the plane crash in Pennsylvania on September 11th. You will see that there is even less truth than here. But, this is how propaganda works, and most people do not even think about the fact that they are being deceived in a brazen and cynical way.
