- daeyeth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+54My hat goes off to the author who listened to over 30 hours of audio footage and painted a very clear picture of what was going on.
- chaos217, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39Very long but a must read.

Sad as it may be, don't buy into that propaganda.
They want you to be scared. To think you can't live as you've always lived. To think that they have some new right to take your land, personal property, and privacy. And divert billions in tax revenue to corporations aligned with their personal interests--and finances.
The reality is that 9/11 changed nothing. The same old corporate crooks are still robbing America blind, despite the threat we are under!
Some "patriots" they turned out to be. They're a bunch of flag-waving rats! - Azael, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31And a must *hear*.
- cvp1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30Are you dense?
The article has links (albeit Javascript) that say "PLAY" and "STOP". They are located directly underneath the transcripts. Click PLAY and the transcript plays. Click STOP and it stops.
Use your eyes. - Dayz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29why dont you just read it, not ask stupid questions
- aaaz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25Wonder Why Pentagon provided "knowingly false" information to a special 911 commission
- elastikos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25I'm pretty sure at the time she would of thought it was like the movies, where hi-jackers demand a pilot to land, not crash into a building.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24Wow, as I'm reading through, I'm seeing how F16's were heading to NYC after the first hit, right now I'm hoping that I read that the jets interecept the second airliner. While it sounds stupid it's a natural emotion, it's what you want to read next .....
- spukeesan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23The question is valid largely because United 93, and really the entire chaotic event, has been the emotional fuel used by the current administration to make good Americans seem unpatriotic for questioning the government's strong-armed tactics. It's our privledge and our duty to ask questions and find out the truth about things that affect our country and our lives.
- daldredge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20When you train to detect and launch the nuclear missiles that will end life on this planet a hijacking doesn't look that impressive.
- attila, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17I read and listened to the whole thing... an incredible piece of history.
- fahrenheitlf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Zogby America poll numbers (5/12/06 through 5/16/06) http://www.911truth.org/images/911TruthZogbyPollFinalReport.htm
Some of us don't trust the government; no matter which side is in power. Our duty as citizens is to be a check and balance... voting. If we don't question, then Bush (or any future president/administration) will have Congress, Senate, and the people. That's too much power for any one branch, no matter who controls it. - Daedalus81, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13FTA : The govt ordered it at 10:18, which was 15 minutes after it hit the ground.
I thought most people were aware that the goverment was going to shoot it down if it got close to the Whitehouse. - reed311, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18This is not a conspiracy theory or anything, just simply something a friend of my family told us: He is a police officer in NY and he said that they found bombs under one of the bridges that day but it was never reported in the media. I have no doubt he is telling the truth.
I often think there is alot that we don't know and probably will not know. I remember watching the news that day and first they said that a bomb had hit the Pentagon and was then changed to a plane.
A friend of an old professor of mine swears that he saw fighters following the plane that crashed in Penn. - griz, on 10/12/2007, -8/+19What exactly are the conspiracy theorists trying to prove when they speculate wether or not flight 93 was shot down? The way I see it, it is a moot point. If it wasn't shot down, then it would have been flown into the White House or Capital killing hundreds perhaps thousands more people.
- cvp1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14This is kind of freaky because my uncle works at NEADS, and was there that day. Knowing that he was somewhere in the ops room while all this chaos was going on is a very strange feeling....
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -18/+28"Maybe they're curious about the truth."
Or maybe they're searching for the *right* truth, the "truth" they want to see. - imac12, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13While I agree that her comment may not have been the most appropriate, I can understand where it comes from. My job has the same connotations as hers basically... you sit and train for something you never hopes happen. Yet if it actually does, you are initially excited that you are actually pressed into service or response.
- ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9They also unraveled a plot a bit later to bomb the Brooklyn bridge, but it was in the back pages, most of the media didn't cover it either.
- strangerzero, on 10/12/2007, -9/+18Ask him if these are really the tapes or just something that they fabricated.
- rot97, on 10/12/2007, -15/+24A sad day in our history, for everyone. Every time i listen or read about this it brings me back. Who ever thought one day could change our whole way of life?.. May God bless America
- SeventhHeaven, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10These tapes are not fabricated. They are real. I know people who work there.
- skoles, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14@TeMerc...
Sadly, I can honestly see it happing to some extent again.
The news and determined people out for the truth have shown us again & again that our Government is not protecting us any better now than before 9/11. Despite what they tell us you still see them getting guns & knifes through airline security. The laws passed to protect us are doing more damage to our rights and leading our country down a dark path.
They pat down grandma and have little kids remove their shoes but still skip over the occasional Middle-Eastern person as to not be blamed for racially profiling. I'm sorry, but time & time again it has been Middle-Eastern people who bomb & hijack airlines. You don't see inner city black people or the elderly in Florida taking over airlines. Security should not be politically correct, I'm sorry but it's the truth. Airlines are given government money to increase security yet still go bankrupt as CEO's take huge early retirement bonuses while pilots willingly take paycuts to save the company money. We are being shown a smokescreen of security to make us feel safe and keep the economy chugging along.
Expect it to happen again. They waited patiently for so many years to pull this off and it has literally changed the way American is run & percieved by the world. We almost had the chance to show the world that it's people are not the reflection of its leaders. We were honestly right there with the world behind us (minus those who hurt us) and our leaders just slapped them in the face.
So close. So close... - icedman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I was in a training at the time with some young punk kid. After we heard of the first impact we switched on the TV and saw the second one live. His reaction was to say 'cool' as well. I called him on it and reminded him that possibly thousands of people just died and that this was not a movie. He looked embarrassed and agreed.
I think it was just a nervous reaction to the situation but he looked real stupid to everyone within earshot. It was at work too.
Foot in mouth disease. - reed311, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Yah, I don't like the President either but if the White House was destroyed it would be the loss of a national treasure.
- nogwater, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Maybe you didn't scroll down far enough. There are play buttons scattered throughout the entire article. It's very interesting and strange and the same time. The delays in getting information to the right people are crazy.
- Lifestory, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8oh my god, i just slammed your comment just now about you not hearing anything and here you come again...
- TeMerc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11This is probably the most chilling real life account of anything I have ever read in my nearly 50 years of life.
I can only hope that if something of this magnitude should occur again that we can stop it sooner rather than later.
Those men are all heroes as far as I'm concerned, over at NORADNEADS - loveandrockets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11That's what I was thinking but the author kind of vindicates her: she does training exercises all the time and finally gets to do something 'real'. Little did she or anyone in that room know how the day would end.
- skoles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11There was nothing racist at all about my statement. I never said all "terrorists" are Middle-Eastern, I said that time & time again when a plane is hijacked & blown out of the sky it is from a radical group of middle-eastern dissent. So it would make sense to focus on those people at security checks when dealing with the aftermath of a large scale attack.
Had it been a group of White (insert ethnicity here) militia type people then you would focus on them for the time being. Obviously not all muslilms/arabs/etc are out to blow something up, but instead a small group of them is tarnishing the image of the whole and has focused some negative light on them.
I'm 28 btw. Don't see how that matters since you obviously see someone younger than you as an ignorant racist. I watch & read as much news & information as I can take in over the day. Not just American based media, but from all over the world.
But I don't care what you think of me. I stated the blunt truth of how the world is working today, right now. K, pops? - gregcotten, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16@battybattybatt
How big of an idiot can you make yourself in one comment section? - Lifestory, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14@battybattybatt
Did you realised you just embarrassed yourself? - small3687, on 10/12/2007, -18/+24That one dumb bitch's response was "cool." Who ***** responds that way? Maybe for an instant you'll get an adrenaline rush to do something but to respond "cool"? WTF
- loveandrockets, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9The end is poignant, when the reporter asks the second-in-command of NEADS if he shot the plane down. He says, almost crying with his head in his hands "The individuals on that aircraft, the passengers, they actually took the aircraft down. Because of what those people did, I didn't have to do anything.""
- Willmonwah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8This article sadly shows that NORAD is not where truth in the inconsistencies should be found. They were merely relaying information to a handful of planes that weren't conducting exercises or otherwise occupied. And the equipment was so bad they couldn't even be effective in monitoring events. I'm not sure which conspiracy they're debunking because now it shows that the federal govenment did nothing to stop 9/11. There's an interesting question about how so many cell phone calls could be made at such high altitudes. That such calls could only be made possible in 2004 (http://www.qualcomm.com/press/releases/2004/040715_aa_testflight.html) as well as the ease of mimicing someone's voice with technology makes it suspicious.

- SeventhHeaven, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I would bet that she regrets saying that....
- Lifestory, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11please... you are judging her after the whole incident. she never saw it coming.

Parenthesis messed up your links. Fixed links above. - trunkster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Wow that took me 300 diggs to read it all. Anyway I guess this shows Flight 93 was never shot down. And why the hell were they running on old equipment, instead of paying the pigs why don't we stay up with current technology?
- chestnut, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11May want to check your history, Roger. Middle eastern terrorism has been around for 40 years. '68 El Al airliner highjacking, '72 Munich Olympics, '81 assassination of Sadat.
- labmouse42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5One must look at the source.
Who owns Vanity Fair?
Would this report be biased in any way? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The weird thing is that an even bigger uproar would have been caused if we shot the planes down.
- mrinternet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5A must read/hear....sad...very sad...
- rayoshine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5the more you stir ***** the more it stinks. they look at a radar screen and see 2000 green blips. the NORAD peeps gotta figer out which one is the bad guy. what kinda ***** is that? what are we in the 1940s?
- mirunit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5But comments such as those above were repeated by other administration and military figures in the weeks and months following 9/11, forging the notion that only the passengers' counterattack against their hijackers prevented an inevitable shootdown of United 93 (and convincing conspiracy theorists that the government did, indeed, secretly shoot it down). The recordings tell a different story, and not only because United 93 had crashed before anyone in the military chain of command even knew it had been hijacked.
Thats the part of the article that talks about the possibility of 93 being shot down. - ne0shell, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9the biggest conspiracy theory of all is the official version of events.
Here's the questions I want answers to:
1. Why were the intercept orders (shoot down orders) changed just before 911 and command given to Cheney instead of the Air Force as it had been for i dunno, like 40 years?
2. Why did this article ignore the fact that several drills were going on that day, including one where hijacked planes are flown into the Pentagon and WTC?
3. Why were the hijackers allowed back into the US on several occasions after customs was told they were part of "anti terrorist drills"?
4. Why does the govt work so hard to shut up the numerous FBI, CIA and NSA workers who try to go public regarding previous knowledge, complicity and worse?
There isn't enough space on Digg for the thousands of questions parts of the govt refuse to answer. That's why so many Americans want a new, truly independent investigation with the authority to compel testimony. They just keep pushing this incompetency theory, now not only is the FBI, CIA and NSA bungling their jobs now the military is too. This tactic backfires as the more they try to paint blame the more insiders step up and release information showing that 911 could have been stopped many times. Incompetence didn't stop it, people at the very top of the organizations responsible shut down the investigations, assisted the hijackers and covered up the truth. Those who can continue to defend the small group in govt responsible for this are idiots. Maybe you don't want to believe parts of the govt did it, at the very least it's obvious they stood back and allowed it to happen. Anyone capable of researching the facts can't deny it. - Krutch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5good read. The loss of the world trade centers is close to my heart. I have visited several times, once getting my shoe stuck in the escalator as I was coming down from the observation deck. I was 8 or 9 at the time. =/
NEADS did the best the could with the information and equipment they had. - rubberbrush, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I mentioned it in the other post but I have to mention it again...I was flying Delta 1989. I mention it because...Damn! I was flying Delta flight 1989!
Happy to be here with you fine people... - mferreri, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5unrealJEDI: how about YODA bless America. ya freakin' dork.
