Accepting that it didn’t happen the way the government has us told it happened is only the start of it. Once it is accepted that the government has lied about any part of their story the entire house of cards comes tumbling down and the next important questions are not so much ‘what’ happened but ‘who’ and ‘why’.<BR/><BR/>Given unlimited resources, orchestrating the events of 9/11 would be a reasonably easy task. Reducing the problem down to its essentials, all one needs to do is ensure that an aircraft crashes into a building and then do it three or four times simultaneously. There are a whole range of scenarios that could achieve this. All it takes is unlimited resources and imagination – neither of which is accessible to bin Laden or al Qaeda.<BR/><BR/>What happened beyond that, as I have said countless times before, I don’t know. But in the light of subsequent events, it becomes easier to understand the question of ‘who’ and ‘why’.Damian Lataanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886295381135372084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-1173100597706185212007-03-05T23:46:00.000+10:302007-03-05T23:46:00.000+10:30Terrence,As a former pilot, Damian will be well aw...Terrence,<BR/><BR/>As a former pilot, Damian will be well aware that planes hitting buildings is something that happens.

You have wholly missed another point that shakes the credibility of your official reports.<BR/><BR/>"On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr. Fulton and his team at the CIA were running a pre-planned simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were to strike a building."<BR/><BR/>Condi Rice said "I don't think anybody could have predicted…that they would try to use an airplane as a missile. Had this president known a plane would be used as a missile, he would have acted on it."<BR/><BR/>Here is a blatant official lie by the US admin, unless you somehow believe Condi did not know about the drill when she spoke. <BR/><BR/>In previous emails you have indicated that you are prepared to believe, and condone anything that comes from the side that you see as wearing the white hats. Considering this we have also agreed to disagree on 911. <BR/><BR/>The only reason I joined this discussion was because I was disappointed that someone like yourself, who is at least prepared to state where they stand, and what they believe, was part of an orchestrated attack on Damian by the other two chaps who only pretended to debate, and when asked to comment fell back on personal abuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-1173096998679591942007-03-05T22:46:00.000+10:302007-03-05T22:46:00.000+10:30Was Saddam an immediate threat to the world?

What remains a problem, though, is that such a position only takes us back to the beginning again, asking the questions 'what happened?'. You have no answer to that and I have offered none, either. The extensive conpiracy theories offered by films like those of Jones and others in the truth movement are just as full of holes as you claim the 'official' report to be.<BR/><BR/>Thus, we get nowhere.

I may not be a commercial pilot but I do understand enough about the physics of flying to know that you are talking crap here the controls of a jet airliner are essentially the same as those that you find in your Cessna 172 with a few more bells and whistles that will actually make the jet easier to fly than the Cessna. The 9 11 hijackers did not have to perform a landing or a takeoff; the most difficult maneuvers in flying They only had to make sure that the planes were at the right altitude and that they were aimed at the right place I bet that it would not be that hard to program the Autopilot to do that. Hell I have done it on a flight simulator on a PC and I have had no flight training at all so why do you think that even minimally trained Jihadists would have so much trouble? As a pilot of 40 years standing (with how many hours in what sort of aircraft?) you should have no trouble explaining yourself here.
