![]() I'm Sick of hearing from all the cowardly people completely trash the rights of those who have died to have an adequate investigation. Grow up show some respect , if you had family members killed in a horrific way , dont you think you would deserve to hear from the people in charge of protecting you, why they fucked up ?
REGARDLESS of who did 9/11 , even IF the "official" story is true . some people have some explaining to do. The aren't nameless faceless people , these are real people who can come forward and give us the truth or at the very least own up to the mistakes they made. #1 when a plane flies into restricted airspace or flies off its designted course and cant be reached fighter jets are dispatched. This isnt new , this was well before 9/11 , so i would like to hear from the guy whos JOB is to scramble the jets , and i would like to hear from the fighters themselves. If your job is to protect us from hijacked airplanes WHO didnt do their job and WHY , they cause 1000's of people to DIE , these are people fathers and mothers and sons. If you killed someone's daughter because you fucked up at your job, wouldnt there be an investigation. well someone obviously fucked up , and since they didnt get fired obviously because there wasn't a proper investigation , that means they are still doing the job that they were doing when they fucked up.. do you feel safe protected by the same people that fucked up at their job when they were supposed to be protecting us.. #2 the guy and company responsible for building wtc , i want to know why you said it would not fall and it did. simple question , people who worked in wtc felt safe because you told them it was safe, you fucked up , someone needs to be fired or change the way you build buildings. #3 the pentagon videos , where are they.. lets see them. Show these people the respect they deserve. Anyone who doesnt think we deserve an explanation is lost in their own ignorance. I hope your family never has to be protected by the same people in charge of protecting us on 9/11, because you wont even be treated with enough respect to actually hear from them.. ![]() and no i dont want to hear missile theories and endless false inuendo. Im not presenting any theories , there are no cool videos to go along or tinfoil hats , just a few simple questions, so if your going to insult someone insult me and leave your allegations at home.

p.s. to all the people who use the word "conspiracy" and obviously don't understand what it means , i suggest using a dictionary.

Yep.. Gotta love gov't investigations... Just resulted in another blame game with the cia and fbi.. I read the findings from independent experts who actually deal with high rise construction, demolition, physics, thermodynamics, etc.. not five Democrats and five Republicans. |

Lets be realistic here . It wasnt " the governments" job to protect us from hijacked airplanes. it was specific people. jet fighters , actual people in planes that intercept many many planes per year , hundreds. Where were they .. ? like i want to hear from the actual guys who's job that is.. If you had a child kidnapped from his/her school dont you think you would want to hear from the teacher , ? dont you think the teacher should be reprimanded if he/she failed to protect your child.. If your child was kidnapped and found dead , and they said , oh some evil guys did it , does that suddenly relinquish the teacher from their responsobility to protect your child. The buildings were built to withstand jets hitting them and didnt , dont you think someone should explain to the people that trusted them EXACTLY why that occured and more improtantly WHAT will be done in the future to prevent such a catastrophic collapse ?

The official report(s) actually do explain why the towers fell and why jets werent scrambled.
1. Look no one anticipated in the 1970s when the WTC was built that a 9000 pound molotov cocktail would be slamming into it, what you fail to understand is that these planes were FILLED WITH FUEL which shot into the building at the point of impact. 2. The chain of command for jets being scrambled was long(because of safeguards which are needed) and the airlines/low level officials had a policy of cooperating with terrorists not considering they planes would be used as bombs. 3. What Pentagon videos do you speak of? There is only one that I was aware of. Look I think the bottom line is that you WISH something was amiss but quite frankly as tragedies go this one is pretty cut and dried to most logical people. Sure after the fact many politicians and people of power took advantage of 9/11 but lets not confuse the exploitation of 9/11 with the actual tragedy itself. |

I will say it again. There has been multiple investigations by different entities. You either were not paying attention and missed out but I suspect that you just cannot accept any explanation unless it has sinister connotations as is the case with most conspriacy theorists. In case you missed out just do the research and the answers are out there. |

How many people would jump rather than get toasted?
I think if you know its over, flying to your end would be an incredibly blissful way to go.

First off, showing respect to the families IS DUE. And should always be.
Quote:
Quote:
The WTC was designed and built in the 70's. At that time the largest jet known was a 727. If you think architechts aren't thinking about the way they change buildings they are. How do they plan now... perhaps... to have a 70 story building withstand a direct hit from a fuel laden 747? You can't... That's like asking the Levee builders of 1927 to imagine a category 5 hurricane 80 years later. The respect is deserved. And the reverance. But let's not forget, 9-11 is the Pearl Harbor of our generation.... and some have forgotten.

Im only speaking from what i have heard , im not talking about any conpiracy. I have heard on several occasions prior to 9/11 when planes go off course and jets are called they show up in 10 mins. Canadian jets were scrambled as planes were routed into canada. I want to believe what your saying but here what i would like better , to hear the actual guy who scrambles jets for that area, not a spokesperson but the actual guy , i want him to tell us how long it takes on average to scarmble a jet , and how long it took them to arrive ( i first heard jets in the wtc area AFTER the first tower collapsed..)

i think alot of people confuse "wanting answers" to "blaming someone else"
I would say as a whole theres alot more evidence out there to suggest the planes into wtc were hijacked just as they say they were, but that doesnt mean everyone just gets off the hook. Shouldnt FEMA be responsible for lying to the public about the air quality ? and i dont mean fired , everyone gets fired from FEMA everytime they are needed , i mean actual jail time. People are already dying from cancer from the cleanup , dont you think they deserve justice from the people who lied flat out and told them it was safe to breathe ? they didnt just pick that analysis up out of thin air , someone got the results and said " we cant tell them the truth for ________ reason " ... people that live in the area that would have been perfectly fine if they had stayed away for a bit longer are dying now because some idiot thought it was in someone's best interest no to tell the truth , and what did we get for letting these people get away with this and NOT opening a REAL investigation.. the same people ( FEMA ) fucked up in katrina , ( suprise suprise )

If you choose to believe there is some "other" explanation than the official version why dont you just come out and explain it to us. Please provide the relevent expert testimony as well, just to make it even with the official version. In the end I hate to put you on my post whore list but I might have to. ![]() |

I "wish" people wouldn't presume to know what im thinking. If it was cut and dry there wouldnt be so many people asking questions.. If i had said they predicted etc etc to fly into a building in 1970 i would have said etc etc etc , i didnt say that because , well i didnt say that.. Im not going to go into the details again and again when people just dont get ITS NOT CUT AND DRY , you think its cut and dry in your mind.. thus it must be for everyone.. there are many more factors than can be debated on a chat board , thats why we need a real investigation. It cant hurt anything The 9/11 report said basically the jet fuel mostly burned up within the first few minutes , it also said the jets didnt cause the collapse.. so using that reasoning that you dont think needs more investigation , if it wasnt jet fuel and wasnt the planes , what caused the fire to get hot enough to melt steel ?

FEMA should be held to task for the air quality. I am one of those watching my health very closely. I get quarterly reports from the WTC Health Org. because I was in the closest proximity to the pit. I can tell you I have sinus troubles that I never had before, but so far that is all. As for what was in the air, we will never know. I do know that the dust from inside my loft was tested (by a lab I hired myself) and what was in it was basically materials that are in concrete. That said, there is no way they were gonna shut down NYC for very long. I always joked with my family that if this were to have happened on the west coast of the US, there would still be a big pile of rubble there, and they would be doing tests. To this day I am still amazed that NYC had a very large crane at the site within hours of it happening. I still shake my head with wonder. |

I do think it's ironic that you name this thread " Show some respect" but yet you have no problem posting those pics on GFY.
Seriously, if that was one of your family members in those photos, would you want them posted anywhere, let alone a website called GoFuckYourself. Put some serious thought into it, and I know you will come to the right answer. |

So basically, the President can use the military however he pleases as long as he doesn't declare war since he's not allowed to. However, it could be unconstitutional but no one has stepped up to the plate to force the issue. If it is unconstitutional, then I think every president since Truman would be thrown in jail and I don't see that happening. |

2. Iraq violated UN security resolutions for years(on top of violating cease fire agreements with the USA as well)and there was an order AUTHORIZING the use of force against Iraq if it did not comply. Dont give me this shit about WMD because they didnt have to actually HAVE the WMD to violate the resolution, it also states that Iraq must not SEEK WMD either. |

Article about people who jumped (around 200 jumped)
Desperation forced a horrific decision By Dennis Cauchon and Martha Moore, USA TODAY At first, it seemed like debris. Large objects were falling from the top of the World Trade Center's north tower, just a few minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 hit. The sight of people plunging from the north tower compelled hundreds in the south tower to flee before the second jet struck the building. Richard Drew, AP "It took three or four to realize: They were people," says James Logozzo, who had gathered with co-workers in a Morgan Stanley boardroom on the 72nd floor of the south tower, just 120 feet away from the north tower. "Then this one woman fell." She fell closer to the south tower, he recalls. Logozzo saw her face. She had dark hair and olive skin, a white blouse and black skirt. She fell with her back to the ground, flat, staring up. "The look on her face was shock. She wasn't screaming. It was slow motion. When she hit, there was nothing left," Logozzo says. Logozzo cried, "Oh my God!" and raced for the stairs. When he got to the street 45 minutes later, he looked up. By then, his building had been struck by United Airlines Flight 175. From the ground, he saw two more people jump. This time, they were from his building. The story of the victims who jumped to their deaths is the most sensitive aspect of the Sept. 11 tragedy. Photographs of people falling to their deaths shocked the nation. Most newspapers and magazines ran only one or two photos, then published no more. USA TODAY ran one photo Nov. 16. Still, the images resonate. Many who survived or witnessed the attack say the sight of victims jumping is their most haunting memory of that day. It was worse than people realize. USA TODAY estimates that at least 200 people jumped to their deaths that morning, far more than can be seen in the photographs taken that morning. Nearly all were from the north tower, which was hit first and collapsed last. Fewer than a dozen were from the south tower. The jumping started shortly after the first jet hit at 8:46 a.m. People jumped continuously during the 102 minutes that the north tower stood. Two people jumped as the north tower began to fall at 10:28 a.m., witnesses said. For those who jumped, the fall lasted 10 seconds. They struck the ground at just less than 150 miles per hour hahaha8212; not fast enough to cause unconsciousness while falling, but fast enough to ensure instant death on impact. People jumped from all four sides of the north tower. They jumped alone, in pairs and in groups. Most came from the north tower's 101st to 105th floors, where the Cantor Fitzgerald bond firm had offices, and the 106th and 107th floors, where a conference was underway at the Windows on the World restaurant. Others leaped from the 93rd through 100th floor offices of Marsh & McLennan insurance company. Intense smoke and heat, rather than flames, pushed people into this horrific choice. Flight 11 struck the 94th through 98th floors of the north tower, shooting heat and smoke up elevator shafts and stairways in the center of the building. Within minutes, it would have been very difficult to breathe. That drove people to the windows 1,100 to 1,300 feet above ground. There were several reasons more people jumped from the north tower than from the south. The fire was more intense and compact in the north tower. The jet hit higher, so smoke was concentrated in 15 floors compared with 30 floors in the south tower, which was hit on the 78th through 84th floors. The north tower also stood longer: 102 minutes vs. 56 minutes. And twice as many people were trapped on the north tower's upper floors than in the south tower, where occupants had 161/2 minutes to evacuate before the second jet hit. The New York medical examiner's office says it does not classify the people who fell to their deaths on Sept. 11 as "jumpers." "A 'jumper' is somebody who goes to the office in the morning knowing that they will commit suicide," says Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office. "These people were forced out by the smoke and flames or blown out." She says the medical examiner's office couldn't determine who jumped because the injuries were similar to those suffered by the people killed in the collapse of the towers. The manner of death for all those who died was listed as homicide on death certificates. To make its estimate of the number of people who plunged from the Trade Center, USA TODAY reviewed videos and photographs, interviewed witnesses and analyzed the time and location of the jumping. The newspaper discussed its conclusion with officials in the fire department and medical examiner's office who, while not making calculations of their own, deemed an estimate of 200 jumpers as accurate. The New York Times counted 50 different jumpers in a review of photographs and videotapes. USA TODAY's estimate attempts to include people whose falls were not documented. Nearly all photos were of the north tower's north and east faces, which were more accessible to photographers coming from uptown Manhattan. But witnesses reported that numerous people leapt from the north tower's south and west sides as well. On the south side, firefighters reported 30 to 40 bodies on the roof of the 22-floor Marriott Hotel, adjacent to the north tower. On the west side, falling bodies crashed onto the awning covering the circular VIP driveway. The thudding of bodies at this entrance can be heard on a video taken near there by French cameraman Jules Naudet, whose footage was broadcast on CBS on March 11. On the east side, people plummeted into the plaza, best known for its globe sculpture. Blood covered the glass walls and revolving doors that led to the plaza from the second-floor mezzanine in the north tower. People evacuating the north tower walked by this horrible sight. "The windows were red ... and bits of bodies were outside. We were stunned and amazed," says Richard Moller, who escaped from the 78th floor. After the first jet crash, Port Authority police Officer David Lim took an escalator from the lobby of the north tower to the plaza level, one floor above. He saw a disfigured body near a stage where musical groups performed on the plaza. "I said, oh my God! I've got to call this in. 'I've got a DOA on the plaza.' The desk officer said, 'Are you sure he's dead?' As I'm retransmitting, another body falls." To be sure, some who fell didn't jump. Witnesses say a few people seemed to have stumbled out of broken windows obscured by smoke. But most say those jumping appeared to make a conscious choice to die by falling rather than from smoke, heat or fire. Ultimately, they were choosing not whether to die but how to die. Nobody survived on the floors from which people jumped. Victims who jumped had a profound influence on the evacuation. Firefighters moved their command post away from the building to avoid them. A falling body killed a firefighter. Fire Commissioner Thomas Van Essen, rushing out of the north tower to meet Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was nearly killed when a body landed 15 feet away. To safeguard people from falling bodies and debris, authorities blocked the main exits from the lobbies to the street. Instead, people escaping from both towers were sent through an underground shopping mall and under the outdoor plaza where bodies were falling. The sight of people jumping saved lives, too. In the south tower, people had a close-up view of people plunging to their deaths from a building that was a mirror image of their own. "I looked at a couple of people jumping, and that was it. I'd seen enough. I said, 'We've got to get the hell out of here,' " says Jaede Barg, who worked for Aon on the south tower's 100th floor. Many south tower survivors say the sight of people jumping created an urgency that caused them to leave immediately and ignore announcements that it was safe to return to their desks. About 1,400 people evacuated the upper floors before the second jet hit. Eric Thompson, who worked on the 77th floor of the south tower, went to a conference room window after the first jet hit. He was shocked when a man came to a north tower window and leapt from a few floors above the fire. Thompson looked the man in the face. He saw his tie flapping in the wind. He watched the man's body strike the pavement below. "There was no human resemblance whatsoever," Thompson says. http://www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/...2-jumper_x.htm |
