9/11 angle I never seen before

[BigMoneyGrip]

Those planes were def hijacked but it wasn’t how people actually think.. I believe the flight controls were taken over remotely.. pilots had zero control of the plane.. They couldn’t even use their radios

Remote controlled planes have actually been in existence since the 60’s so this definitely isn’t far fetch at all.

The passengers on united 93 fought back once they found out the WTC got hit. The terrorists was trying to hit the Capital building in DC but thank good for he passengers were brave enough to make sure it didn’t happen.

That plane was shot down

What makes you believe this over the hijackers controlling the plane?

Is there some evidence you've seen? Or is it just opinion?

I first heard about it on the radio at the shop I was working at. The initial reports had us thinking a drunk farmer accidentally crashed his crop duster into the building. Then the second plane hit and it was confirmed that these were large passenger jets, and this was a terrorist attack At the time, we had no idea of the scope of the attack. We legit thought bombs were about to fall on every city and turn the US into a parking lot. shyt was scary.

No evidence of this.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Man, I really wish those poor people on the planes would have fought back. If I'm on a hijacked plane, they're going to have to kill me before they do anything cause I'm gonna attack. Not just going to sit there and wait to die.

Before this, plane hijackings were money making schemes. No one thought they were going to crash them.

This:


The way they talk like we got ran out of Vietnam to this day, this will pretty much be the same thing.

Our response lead to a black eye for the nation and we're still paying for that shyt both financially and psychologically.

In 2022 there's some tax dollars coming out your paycheck that gets spent because of 9/11. That would not have been the case before that event.

That's a massive L.

Vietnam was like 10x worse than 20 years of iraq/Afghanistan combined... just look at casualties and deaths.

How bad are we currently suffering from Vietnam? Its only a memory just like pearl Harbor.

Bin Laden didn't expect our country to be this resilient. 9/11 changed things but didn't really throw much off course drastically. 20 years later the new generation of kids is only affected by airport security. The Trillions spent only made our military more capable and provided profit/funding for defense contractors. The mortgage crisis hurt our economy more than 9/11...

shyt, covid hurt our economy more than 9/11... a random virus in China did more to change our way of life than this carefully crafted act of terrorism. Al Qaeda doesn't even have any figurehead to rally international support anymore. Practically wiped out and left a shadow of their former selves.

Can you imagine being Bin Laden and putting together your master plan. . Seeing it executed almost perfectly... and then just 6-7 years later America is more upset about their first black president than any of the issues you were trying to keep at the forefront. Politicians were using al qaeda assassinations to boost their poll numbers

I was 18 when this happened and the shyt still gives me goosebumps.

I don't really care what Bin Laden thinks breh, psychologically those terrorists have impacted America heavy and we actually spent trillions of dollars on that hunt/war rather than spending it helping people out here.

It's like physics/energy: you don't get something for nothing. If you spend money/budget on something, that's money not spent on something else more helpful to benefit our citizens directly.

Additionally, we built more military bases in the Middle East since that time, which costs more money to uphold/upkeep which leaves actually less money spent on new research and development on weapon tech. Those bases only contribute to more local animosity by the way, which means more spending on defense and potential lives risked.

Not a cheap war and sequence of events that 9/11 sparked.

Do you have a link to the book?

Here you go


In The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden, Peter Bergen provides the first reevaluation of the man responsible for precipitating America’s long wars with al-Qaeda and its descendants, capturing bin Laden in all the dimensions of his life: as a family man, as a zealot, as a battlefield commander, as a terrorist leader, and as a fugitive. The book sheds light on his many contradictions: he was the son of a billionaire, yet insisted his family live like paupers. He adored his wives and children, depending on two of his wives, both of whom had PhDs, to make important strategic decisions. Yet he also brought ruin to his family. He was fanatically religious, yet willing to kill thousands of civilians in the name of Islam. He inspired deep loyalty yet, in the end, his bodyguards turned against him. And while he inflicted the most lethal act of mass murder in United States history, he failed to achieve any of his strategic goals.

The lasting image we have of bin Laden in his final years is of an aging man with a graying beard watching old footage of himself, just another dad flipping through the channels with his remote. In the end, bin Laden died in a squalid suburban compound, far from the front lines of his holy war. And yet despite that unheroic denouement, his ideology lives on. Thanks to exclusive interviews with family members and associates, and documents unearthed only recently, Bergen’s portrait of Osama will reveal for the first time who he really was and why he continues to inspire a new generation of jihadists.

I forgot where I read it I think it was in the 9/11 commission report but Luftansana airlines had immediately bushed all the avionics on their aircraft and updated with new systems to prevent 3rd party access or outside remote access.. I found that shyt weird but it made sense given the circumstances

Lol... you really think America would have spent trillions on infrastructure, Healthcare, government services and education if it wasn't for 9/11?!?!



You must have grown up in a bubble

United 93 is a great movie!
