The Great 9/11 Hijacking Puzzle (in 22 pieces)

So how exactly do all these pieces fit together?!?!


1) Prior to 9/11, extensive contacts were made between the Osama bin Laden/Al Qaeda members and US- and US-affiliated intelligence agencies (in particular the Pakistani ISI). In one particularly striking case, two of the 9/11 hijackers, who were allegedly Al Qaeda members, lived with an FBI informant in San Diego.

2) Prior to 9/11, NORAD ran several "live-fly" exercises simulating hijacking of commercial planes.

3) Prior to 9/11, several wargames/military exercises were run simulating hijacked planes crashing into buildings.

4) Prior to 9/11, several "terror drills" were run on the ground simulating the hijacking of commerical planes by terrorists.

5) Prior to 9/11, in July 2001, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld changed the authorization procedure for shooting down hijacked airplanes, such that shootdown authority must be obtained from the Secretary of Defense rather than a regional commander.

6) On 9/11, NORAD ran a live-fly hijacking exercise (Vigilant Warrior/Vigilant Guardian).

7) On 9/11, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) was supposed to run an exercise simulating a plane crashing into their headquarters in Virginia.

8) On 9/11, four commercial planes were "hijacked" and three buildings were apparently struck by hijacked planes.

9) On 9/11, officially NORAD failed to intercept any of the hijacked flights, demonstrating a stunning lack of air defenses-- particularly around Washington D.C., which should be highly protected air space. Unofficially, flight 93 was likely shot down, but evidence pertaining to this idea was strongly suppressed and not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report.

10) On 9/11, each hijacked plane lost its transponder signal.

11) On 9/11, not one of the eight pilots managed to convey to air traffic control that there was a hijacking occurring, not even by turning the transponder to 7500-- the hijacking code.

12) On 9/11, seven pilots all went mysteriously silent, while one pilot on flight 93 made a "mayday" call and said "get out of here" three times with sounds of a struggle before going silent.

13) On 9/11, the captains of each hijacked plane were big, strong Vietnam veterans who were somehow overwhelmed by relatively smaller and slight middle eastern men supposedly armed with small knives.

14) On 9/11, the captain of flight 77, had previously planned and participated in terror response drills at the Pentagon.

15) On 9/11, despite minimal flight training and no previous experience flying real Boeing 757s and 767s before, the hijackers managed to navigate hundreds of miles and then going full-speed, strike perfectly three out of three targets. In particular, the WTC towers were only 200 feet wide and a Boeing 767 is 160 feet wide-- thus these were very narrow difficult targets to hit. The Pentagon is only about 60 feet tall, and a Boeing 757 is only 30 in height, yet the plane apparently impacted perfectly between the first and second floors, without touching the ground in front of the Pentagon.

16) On 9/11, passengers' cell phones worked surprisingly well on the hijacked flights, when normally cell phones do not work well in mid-flight and in rural areas.

17) On 9/11, President Bush's security was amazingly unconcerned about his safety when a national emergency was occurring.

18) On 9/11, the French Naudet brothers had the amazing fortune to be filming a documentary about NY city firefighters near the WTC. One of them then had the uncanny ability, when he heard a jet go overhead, to zoom his camera to the North WTC tower-- where it was being hit by an airplane.

19) After 9/11, black boxes were apparently recovered from the rubble of the WTC towers, but their existence was denied by officials. Black boxes were reportedly recovered from the Pentagon, but the contents of the boxes has never been released to the public.

20) After 9/11, video and photographic analyses show anomalies with the planes that hit the WTC towers and anomalies with the pattern of damage at the Pentagon. A video was released of the Pentagon hit from a security camera, but this video raised more questions than it answered. Other video cameras that might have filmed what happened at the Pentagon had their videos confiscated by the FBI.

21) After 9/11, Condoleezza Rice, the National Security Advisor, lied brazenly when she said no one had ever considered the possibility of hijacked planes being used as missiles to strike buildings.

22) After 9/11, reports came out in major news organizations that in fact NORAD had simulated hijackings and planes crashing into buildings prior to 9/11. This interesting fact was completely ignored by every news commentator in the mainstream news and was also completely ignored by the 9/11 Commission.


If anybody out there has any good ideas for how this all fits together, please let me know!

This claim is just a photoshopped hoax.

There are a lot of websites that offered a variety of fake claims as the 2004 "election" got closer, which succeeded in tangling the 9/11 truth movement in a variety of BS claims and counter claims. Blurry, photoshopped images on the web are not evidence of anything other than gullibility (and a sincere effort by certain folks to distract and discredit).
