What happened on 9/11. Who really blew up the Twin Towers in New York? Official version of events

The criminal disgrace that Zion imposed on the entire world on September 11, 2001, in terms of the scope of its cynicism, temporarily eclipsed the scam with the so-called “flight” of the Americans to the Moon. Trusting armed and evil children - US citizens - still do not even suspect that there are several billion people on Earth, much smarter than the post-Columbian Jews - who still believe the spring predictions of the groundhog.

In the article “September 11 - for some a bonus day, for some a mournful day, and for some a day of joy of vengeance,” I cited interesting dates for particularly important events in the history of US provocations, and also noted that September 11 had two AMERICAN aircraft crashed into two AMERICAN skyscrapers. And the rest of the world paid a huge price for this AMERICAN show.

  • September 11, 1991 - during the destruction of the USSR - American President with a Semitic genetic disease Ronald Reagan proclaims the New World Order.
  • September 11, 2001 - Two planes crash into the World Trade Center.
  • September 11 is the Jewish New Year.

The attacks reportedly killed 2,977 people and left another 24 missing. However, the official version of what happened from the very moment of the scam has been criticized by journalists, scientists and witnesses to the tragedy. Independent investigations have been conducted and documentaries have been made.

Correspondent's puncture

It should be noted that as a result, on the day of the scam, not only the South Tower (WTC-2) and the North Tower (WTC-1), but also the third building, the WTC 7 tower, collapsed. It is located very far from the site of the twin towers, there is nothing in it didn't hit. However, it also somehow mysteriously collapsed.

Rice. Layout of buildings.

The official version is as a result of a series of gas explosions and subsequent fire. However, this is a lie. At 17:00 New York time, the British television channel BBC (BBC) broadcast a live report from the scene. The whole world watched as presenter Jane Standley began telling viewers about the collapse of the third building (WTC 7).

The building was still intact and unharmed. After all, there were still 20 minutes left before the building collapsed! But the caption at the bottom of the screen said: “The 47-story Salomon Brothers building next to the World Trade Center also collapsed.”

When the presenter was told that she had lost her mind, the girl turned to the picture, blushed and began to lament: “Sorry!” At 17:14, the picture of the broadcast from New York suddenly gave way to interference and disappeared from the air.

Obviously, the BBC television crews were working and speaking from a script. News chief Richard Porter, of course, did not admit: “We are not part of a conspiracy. Nobody told us what to talk about or what to do on September 11th. No one told us in advance that the building was going to fall. We have not received a press release or a script for what is going to happen.”

But the problem is, “we don’t have the original footage of the 9/11 coverage—not because of the conspiracy, but because of the confusion,” Porter admitted, despite the fact that the “confusion” was in New York, not in London.



Nothing to add. Americans in their scams, like three-year-old children, cover their tracks according to the same pattern. Let us recall the recent official representative of the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR), Vladimir Markin, with NASA Director Charles Bolden, who announced the disappearance of evidence of the American landing on the Moon (see the novel “Somersault of the Moon”).

Framing Bin Laden

Everyone “at the top” in the United States knew about the planned destruction of the Twin Towers. For example, just 8 hours before the attack on the Trade Center, Condoleezza Rice dissuaded the mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, from flying to New York, scheduled for the morning of September 11.

And according to the London Times, US President George Bush, immediately after the attack on the Twin Towers, began to actively evacuate the relatives of the “terrorist” leader Bin Laden. The president of the newly attacked power ordered a private plane to take a dozen relatives of the main terrorist out of the United States. And this despite the fact that bin Laden’s relatives were never summoned for questioning by either the police or the FBI.

Al-Qaeda was financed by the largest international corporations - Microsoft, UBS and Compaq, etc. These computer giants were not responsible for a theatrical “terrorist attack”, but for the completely outright criminal activities of pre-ISIS.

But 14 years later, neither Microsoft nor Compaq have lost any of their market positions. Neither the “progressive” public, nor “human rights activists,” nor law enforcement services, nor family members of those killed during the “terrorist attacks,” nor, finally, “sympathetic” buyers have any complaints against them. Somehow, the entire population of the Earth reacted absolutely shamelessly to the criminal activities of these companies.

The main terrorist Osama bin Laden was put on the international wanted list long before the “terrorist attack” of September 11, 2001. But, nevertheless, in July 2001, he unhinderedly underwent treatment in an American clinic. In between enemas, he met with one of the leaders of the CIA. Bin Laden was allegedly treated by American urologist Terry Callaway.

All this and many other data indicate that Bin Laden was not involved in the terrorist scam with the Twin Towers. Osama himself, in an interview with the Pakistani newspaper Ummat, said that he considers the Florida Jewish community to be the perpetrators of terrorist attacks in the United States.

In my other article, “The Pentagon Celebrates Victory” (2002), I analyzed a documentary film shown by NTV on the anniversary of September 11th. The authors of the film never presented the audience with a single piece of evidence of the involvement of some Al-Qaeda and a certain Bin Laden in the “terrorist attack” of September 11, 2001 in the United States.

Analysis of the film shows the following. The US President is shown to be an outspoken clairvoyant. Just a few hours after the Twin Towers scam, he clearly identified the culprits as Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden.

And this is very surprising! Although, if we consider that “...there was a person (Putin - author) who warned two days before the terrorist attack and spoke about terrorism from Afghanistan,” it turns out that everyone knew about the scam. Putin considered it a terrorist attack, and Bush knew the true situation from the demolition of the twin towers. Therefore, he did not interfere with the demolition of dilapidated skyscrapers.

Sacrifice or ringing of shekels?

Let's remember. The great Freemason Harder warned in 1993: “...Remember. Nothing is done by chance. Imagine this situation. In a few years, the world will increasingly begin to say: I’m tired of American dictatorship, America is a colossus with feet of clay, the dollar will soon burst... And then the States will need to publicly show who’s boss, and what American, including dollar, power is. This is where skyscrapers come in handy. Just imagine, it will happen like in a movie: for example, two planes crash into each of the towers in front of the whole world...”

Immediately after the “terrorist attack,” a strange guess appeared on the Internet: type in Word in English capital letters – Q33NYC – flight Q33 New York City. Translate this inscription into the wingdings font, you will get:

“Mysterious” coincidence? Or is it still a sacrifice for the new year?

It turns out that it’s both, and there’s also a gesheft. Bloody, really. But money has no meaning for some people.

On April 26, 2001, a specific deal was signed, and on July 23, a specific deal was finalized. The contract amount is $3.2 billion. The lessor of WTC-7, WTC-3 and WTC-6, the famous Jew Larry Silverstein, under a signed agreement, received a 99-year lease for the remaining buildings - the twin towers (WTC-1 and WTC-2), WTC-4 and WTC-5 .

Within a month, Silverstein insured his acquisition for $3.6 billion. The main insurance element in the policies was the event of a terrorist attack. And a month later the same insured event occurred.

When Silverstein bought the twin towers, he already knew that they were to be demolished. That’s why he planned the demolition as a “terrorist attack.” And for this, the insured amount was divided into monthly payments. He managed to pay only $14 million (from July 23 to September 11), and the insurance premium was $3.2 billion. What a gamble!

According to the court, the Jewish billionaire received compensation in the amount of $4.6 billion in the form of insurance payments for the “twins” and WTC-7, as well as for the restoration of the complex. And now he is trying to sue another $12.3 billion from airlines and airport security services - apparently for a synagogue ().


The supporting beam of a demolished tower cut off by a directed explosion.

In his interview with American radio (audio.mp3, 2006), Rabbi Abe Finkelstein explained the following about the scam.

Presenter: " There were no Jews in these towers. Can you explain this?».

Rabbi: " Many Jews died in the towers, spiritually».

Presenter: " Oh, I see there were 3,000 Jews who were not at work that day in these towers. It just gave a lot of people the impression that the Jewish population there in Jewish York, I mean New York, knew something was going to happen and they didn't show up for work that day».

Rabbi: " Yes, we got a call from Kehilla (Jewish community) that Ariel and some boys are from Mossad. They got together and they wired these buildings [mined them], and they filled them up. It was pretty hard to fill them up, anyway, because we wanted to build some new structures, and the buildings are getting old, and it was time to fill them up. So we will make a few shekels by destroying these buildings. Ah, Silverstein was a good friend of mine. We have Larry. He got two for one, and he doubled the insurance, like magic, just three months before it happened, and he got double the benefit on it, so he made four times his money.

I should have been in on this deal. He asked me, but I said, eh, I'll have to think about it. It took me too long to think about it, and they pulled the plug, as they say, and filled these buildings. But at least I went public and I sold American Airlines, I sold United Airlines, I sold Lloyd's of London Insurance, because it was a big blow for them, Alliance Insurance, I sold them too.

So I made a few shekels».

I don’t presume to judge how sincere the rabbi is, but you can still listen to his interview on air today. Finkelstein says very interesting things. Even more interesting conclusions can be drawn.

Absolutely the same situation is happening today in Donbass. Zion has captured Ukraine and is terrorizing it. It pumps money out of the budget and pumps up the treasury with debts. It pushes Ukrainians out of the country and forces them to engage in prostitution and other indecent things. Zion has turned Ukrainians into murderers of civilians - children, old people, women.

Only enterprising and unscrupulous people are being sued for the tenth time for the same fraud.

Andrey Tyunyaev, editor-in-chief of the President newspaper,

On September 11, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks were carried out in the United States, which resulted in the death of 2,977 people. According to the official version, the destructive attacks were carried out by members of the Al-Qaeda group*, but there are facts that can refute the generally accepted point of view.

Fast version

The official version of what happened is as follows. Early in the morning of September 11, 2001, four Boeing passenger planes were hijacked in the air by Arab terrorists. The hijackers were armed only with box cutters and gas canisters. Two aircraft attacked the twin towers of the World Trade Center, located in the southern part of Manhattan, the third plane was sent to the Pentagon building, the fourth did not reach the Capitol and crashed in the middle of a field in Pennsylvania.

This version was formed literally a few days after the tragedy and the American government never changed it. Such hasty conclusions suggest that Washington was preparing for this in advance.

We have already encountered a situation where the White House “knew for sure” that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, Muammar Gaddafi was sponsoring international terrorism, and Bashar Assad was using chemical weapons.

None of these accusations were ever confirmed. However, these suspicions became a pretext for the use of armed forces sanctioned by the US authorities in Iraq, Libya and Syria. It is expected that after the events of September 11, the Americans intensified military operations in Afghanistan.

Immediately after the explosions, the head of Al Qaeda* Osama bin Laden declared his non-involvement in the terrorist attacks. Unusual behavior for a man who always gladly took responsibility for terrorist attacks that were carried out with his participation. Later, bin Laden still admitted to involvement in the events of September 11, however, as some argue, he was only a person similar to the leader of Al Qaeda*.

Strange destruction

Probably not everyone knows that during the attack on New York, three buildings of the World Trade Center (WTC) collapsed. In addition to the well-known twin towers No. 1 and No. 2, there was also skyscraper No. 7. The government commission created to investigate the events of September 11 chose to remain silent about this fact. House number 7 is a 47-story high-rise building, noticeably inferior in height to its twin brothers.

In particular, it housed the New York branch of the CIA headquarters. This building escaped the plane's hit, but by 5 p.m. it had collapsed in the same pattern as the Twin Towers.

According to authorities, the cause of the building's collapse was burning fragments that fell on it from collapsing skyscrapers, as well as the ensuing fire. However, much closer to the towers were the WTC buildings numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6, and they all survived. Maybe there was another reason for the fall of the 7th house?

As for the twin towers, researchers are still concerned with a curious question: why did not only the upper floors of the building collapse, but also the lower ones? The official version is inexorable: when the building was destroyed, the top took the rest of it with it.

However, here too a problem arises. Parts of the tower’s structure did not fall in different directions, but folded straight under the base, like a house of cards.

The designers of the World Trade Center unanimously declare that when constructing high-rise buildings, the possible impact of an airplane on them was taken into account, as is the case with all skyscrapers. If a catastrophic scenario does occur, they say it cannot lead to devastating consequences of this magnitude.

The footage of the disaster clearly shows that the planes crash into the buildings in completely different ways: the airliner “entered” the northern tower directly in the center, and the southern one at an acute angle, cutting off the edge of the high-rise. At the same time, the destruction of the towers was surprisingly uniform and symmetrical, as in a prepared explosion. And then something strange happens: the southern tower, less damaged by the explosion, collapses first, and only half an hour later the northern tower, where the consequences of the disaster should have been more impressive, falls.

Experts analyzed the video of the collapse of the towers and almost unanimously stated that this is how industrial demolition of buildings occurs. And indeed, if you carefully watch the slow-motion footage of the disaster, you can see how blast waves run across the entire height of the building at equal distances - as if a pre-placed charge had detonated.

Here are two more facts that will make you think. Shortly before the terrorist attack, the floors into which the planes subsequently flew were closed for repairs. And a few weeks before the tragedy, the owner of the twin towers, Larry Silverstein, insured them for $3 billion, and insurance against terrorist attacks was prescribed as a separate clause.

Selective fire

If you believe the official findings, then in a monstrous fire, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel structures melted, and hundreds of tons of concrete were ground into dust.

Is it possible that ignited aviation kerosene, the combustion temperature of which is less than 1000°C, will cause hardened steel, which melts at no less than 2000°C, to “quiver”? In this case, a critical loss of strength occurred in 50 massive load-bearing beams at once, which is only possible if the fuel was evenly spilled over all areas of the floor.

The explosions left passengers on both Boeings with charred and unidentifiable body parts. Meanwhile, the passport of Mohammed Atta, one of the plane hijackers, which became one of the main pieces of evidence in favor of the guilt of Al Qaeda*, turned out to be completely unharmed. According to the commission, the document miraculously survived a powerful explosion, fell out of the plane and landed safely near the building.

The US government was in such a hurry to come to the desired conclusion that it was not even going to pay attention to such incidents. Further more.

The investigative commission announced the identification of some of the passengers and crew members of the aircraft using “DNA residues.” And this is after the fire virtually completely destroyed the hull of the airliner, made of high-temperature-resistant aircraft aluminum.

It is curious that despite the “remnants of DNA” being fantastically preserved, the black boxes were considered completely destroyed by fire. Looking at this, one can only believe that the fire acted selectively, completely not guided by the laws of the physical world.

Without a trace

The third hijacked Boeing, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon, according to official data. In order to inflict the most significant damage to the building and people, the terrorists sent the plane along the lowest possible trajectory. It is known that the height of the Boeing 757 is 13 meters, the Pentagon is 24 meters.

Based on this, the final kilometers of the airliner's flight had to take place at an altitude of only a few meters above the ground, which is an almost impossible task for pilots who have just completed express courses.

Moreover, such a maneuver was absolutely unjustified, since, according to many experts, it would not have led to such damage as with a fall at an angle. It would be difficult for even an inexperienced pilot to miss in this case, given the impressive area of ​​the Pentagon - 117,363 sq.m. It turns out that the terrorists, who carefully planned the terrorist attack, chose a more difficult and less effective path.

However, the main incident is ahead. Independent researchers who studied photographs of the disaster were alarmed by the fact that the Boeing, when it hit the building, did not leave any traces of its wings. Their wreckage was not found nearby. Moreover, inside the destroyed section of the building there were no hints of aircraft fragments. According to official findings, they were all destroyed by a powerful explosion and fire, which is very doubtful.

All of the above facts suggest another reason for the destruction in the Pentagon - a planned explosion. But if we assume that the Boeing 757 did not crash into the Pentagon, where did the plane itself disappear with the passengers and crew of this ill-fated flight?

As for the fourth Boeing, which did not reach the Capitol and fell in the fields of Pennsylvania, there are fewer questions about it. However, there are still inconsistencies. Authorities claim that the cause of death was an impact with the ground, but they could not find any significant number of fragments of the plane at the alleged crash site. Eyewitnesses say that the debris was scattered for many kilometers. According to researchers who do not share the official point of view, the airliner could have been shot down in the air by a missile fired from a fighter.

The official version reads: passengers who contact mobile phones with relatives, they learned that two planes had already crashed into buildings in Manhattan and decided to stop the hijackers’ plans. It was as a result of the struggle that ensued on board that the plane lost its course and went into a steep dive. However, experts say that the ability to use cellular communications in flight appeared only in 2005.

Avoid discrepancies

Everything about this story is alarming, including the behavior of senior American officials. Thus, President George Bush for a long time ignored the invitation to speak before Congress, but when he agreed to the meeting, he set conditions that at first glance defied logical explanation. He insisted on limiting the conversation to no more than an hour and requiring Vice President Dick Cheney to be invited to the event. At the request of the head of the White House, only two people were to be present from the commission investigating the tragedy.

After lengthy debates, it was finally possible to agree on the participation of 10 commission members and remove the time limit. During the meeting, everyone expected to hear from the president exhaustive, and most importantly reliable information about what happened, but everything turned out to be much more complicated. Bush did not allow videotaping, audio recording, or even shorthand recording of the meeting. In addition, Bush and Cheney refused to take an oath that could assure listeners of the veracity of what they said.

In April 2004, the performance finally took place. However, to this day it is not known what Bush and Cheney told the congressmen. Many people point out the absurdity of this situation. It looks like this if one witness agreed to speak in court only in the presence of another witness. Why is this necessary? Probably in order to avoid inconsistency in testifying.

The world is increasingly convinced every year that the terrorist attacks were planned by US intelligence agencies to justify the actions of the US military in the Middle East. But it is premature to draw final conclusions. For now, we can say with certainty only the following: if the US authorities did not carry out the terrorist attacks themselves, then at least they did not interfere with their planning.

*Al-Qaeda is a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation

Broadcast

From the beginning From the end

Don't update Update

With this, Gazeta.Ru completes the online broadcast of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you again!

Since 2002, September 11 in the United States has been marked on American calendars as Patriot Day. Since 2009, this date has also been named the national Day of Service and Remembrance.

In 2011, the World Trade Center Memorial appeared on the site of destroyed buildings in New York: it is presented in the form of two square fountain pools located right at the bases of the former twin towers. The names of the victims of the terrorist attacks are carved on bronze slabs that lie at the base of the structures' parapets.

On the eve of the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, the Washington Sociological Center conducted a survey that found that over 90% of respondents clearly remember where they were and what they were doing when the news of the attack on the World Trade Center reached them.

In addition, nearly half of Americans do not feel safe and believe that the ability of terrorists to carry out another major attack on US soil is increasing every year.

Tenet also tried to convince the public that thanks to its actions, “major attacks planned by al-Qaeda in 1999 and 2000” were prevented. However, he could not provide any details on special operations.

Jeff Christensen/Reuters

The CIA also cites Tenet's own overly harsh reaction to the publication of this report, which he called "nonsense" and a "mistake."

“Your analysis unfairly and inaccurately portrays my actions and the heroic work of the men and women of the intelligence community. It's simply unfair to judge my work without having a full understanding of all the facts. “I did everything I could to report, warn and take measures to prevent terrorist attacks,” the former CIA director said in 2005.

In particular, the document states that Tenet recognized the need for a “comprehensive and interdepartmental plan” to combat Al-Qaeda (banned in the Russian Federation). However, he did nothing for this. “He bears full responsibility for the fact that such a strategic plan was never created, despite his clear position,” the document notes.

The CIA watchdog also prepared a report on the 2001 tragedy, which contained criticism of the Director of Central Intelligence and head of the US CIA, George Tenet, who held this post from 1997 to 2004.

Gazeta.Ru publishes the last words of passengers who found themselves on four passenger planes, which were destined to serve as weapons in the hands of Arab terrorists. You can listen to words that convey the depth of fear and despair in the face of impending tragedy

“This date completely changed life in the USA and his largest metropolis, dispelled Americans' ideas about safe world, in which they live,” emphasized Joe Daniels, director of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.

All these manifestations of the “arrogance of power” caused rejection and protests both in America itself and beyond its borders. According to international polls, anti-American sentiment was growing around the world.

Domestic and foreign policy propaganda in the United States has also intensified. Particular disregard for norms international law America showed up by creating a concentration camp at its Guantanamo Bay military base in Cuba, a kind of legal vacuum, to house and process people captured during anti-terrorism operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Prisoners in this “zone” are not essentially US prisoners of war and have no official legal status. In this regard, the authorities came to the possibility of keeping them behind bars almost indefinitely.

The atmosphere in the country was gradually heating up - the States looked more like a besieged fortress. Denunciation was encouraged, but at the same time, leaks of official information and, in general, any deviations from the “patriotic consensus” were punished. One could lose one's job just by recognizing the courage of the terrorists.

After the events of September 11, 2001, the Republican administration of George W. Bush declared a “war on terror.” In this regard, Congress adopted a whole package of “emergency” laws, which, among other things, significantly expanded the powers of the intelligence services. Now they have the opportunity to conduct “biased interrogations” bordering on torture, and also closely monitor not only foreigners, but also citizens of the country. In addition, the United States increasingly closed its borders and tightened immigration and visa regulations.

However, Saudi Arabia responded by asking a Manhattan federal court to dismiss the 25 lawsuits because the plaintiffs have no evidence of Riyadh's involvement in the 9/11 attack.

Later, dozens of insurance companies also filed lawsuits against the two banks. Saudi Arabia, as well as companies associated with the Osama bin Laden family. The total amount of the claim was more than $4 billion.

In September 2016, the US Congress passed a law allowing the heirs of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, since most of the terrorists were citizens of this country. A month later, the first lawsuit was filed by an American woman who lost her husband during a terrorist attack. In the spring of 2017, other relatives of the victims also filed a class action lawsuit.

Peter Morgan/Reuters

In particular, in May 2012, the trial of the ideological mastermind and main organizer of the terrorist attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, detained in 2003 in Pakistan, began at the Guantanamo base. He has still not been sentenced.

In 2002 and 2003, police arrested six more people suspected of involvement in the attacks. After several years spent in CIA prisons, they were taken to a camp at the American base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Charges were brought against five of the suspects only in May 2011. To date, hearings in the case of the 2001 terrorist attacks continue.

Later, the identities of all the suicide bombers were established - they turned out to be citizens of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Lebanon. At the same time, the men were in the United States legally. Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden also released a video message in which he admitted that he directly supervised the actions of 19 terrorists.

In November 2002, the United States created a special independent commission to investigate the September 11 terrorist attacks. Two years later, experts published the final report on the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy - in total it took up 600 pages.

The exact amount of damage caused by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 is still unknown. In September 2006 - five years after the tragedy - the head of the White House, George W. Bush, said that the lowest estimate was $500 billion.

Those who survived September 11, 2001 in the United States will never be able to erase the events of those days from their memory.

“The fact that the towers could collapse seemed unimaginable. If you are an American, grew up here, and even if you are a foreigner who watched films about the United States, then for you they were a symbol, something like the Taj Mahal or even something more. They seemed eternal,” emphasizes Jonathan Wachtel.

The men spent almost 20 hours under the rubble; firefighters only reached McLaughlin on the morning of September 12. At the hospital, the doctors practically admitted their own powerlessness - the injuries of the injured sergeant were too serious. John was later put into a coma for 6 weeks and had about 30 operations, including skin grafts on his legs. After several years of therapy, he was able to return to normal life.

John McLaughlin was the last person to be pulled from the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center.

Peter Morgan/Reuters

Sergeant John McLaughlin was at the scene of the tragedy of his own free will - having learned about what had happened, he went to help. They were on the ground floor connecting the buildings of the World Trade Center complex when the South Tower collapsed. The police were trapped under the rubble.

“At first I thought I died. I didn’t feel anything: I didn’t see, I didn’t smell, I didn’t hear. There was a ringing silence all around,” recalls John McLaughlin.

The rescuers were also in mortal danger - many of them risked their lives to get people out.

“Looking over my left shoulder, I managed to see a huge cloud of dust and a piece of falling concrete. The debris was flying straight towards me, from the outside it looked as if a block of ice that had broken off from a glacier was falling on you. I froze, sensing the end, and then I saw a fire truck. I decided to hide under it, not having the slightest confidence that it would save me. I just wanted to escape the wreckage and acted unconsciously,” said police Sergeant Dennis Frederick. He later learned that many of his colleagues had died in a building collapse on another staircase.

The lucky ones were also among those who were in the Pentagon on the fateful day. One of them was John Yates, a security manager.

“The room was just black, and everything I touched burned my hands. I crawled on all fours and realized that I was moving in the right direction when it became lighter. Once in the yard, I realized that I was badly burned, because I looked at my hands and saw how the skin was peeling off them. I remember sitting on the grass, and the doctor cut off my clothes. At the time of the explosion, five people were standing next to me. “I was the only one who survived,” the man recalls.

People in the South Tower made their way through stairwells completely littered with chunks of concrete, exploding soda cans and burst pipes.

“You could only hear people coughing and moaning. One of the women suffered from asthma and had to stop to catch her breath. The lady with the cut hand was walking with difficulty, her leg was bleeding. Every time she stepped on the floor, she left a bloody imprint. I tried to hold back my panic, and my inner voice told me: “Calm down,” says an employee of the Euro Brokers company, located within the walls of the south tower. She and all her companions managed to get out into the street.

On the 40th floor, Michael and his colleagues, who were going down, met firefighters. They advised us to continue moving. Having overcome the level of the 20th floor, Wright found himself on the site of the South Tower, where he realized the seriousness of what was happening: there were corpses everywhere, dozens of bodies.

The building began to collapse when Wright and his colleagues were at the escalator at one of the exits from the building. The air instantly turned black with clouds of dust. Michael was led outside by a fireman who knew the way through the surviving bookstore building.

“What helped me stay calm on the stairs was the thought of the unreality of what was happening; it seemed like the building couldn’t collapse. Once we had climbed a few floors, we relaxed a little. We knew something bad had happened, but once the fire was thirty floors above, it wasn’t as much of a concern,” Wright recalls.

However, there were those who managed to survive. Thus, 30-year-old Michael Wright was on the 81st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center at the time of the terrorist attack. According to the man, at a certain moment the building shook - he looked out of the toilet and saw fire. There was also a huge crack running along the floor of the corridor, the hall near the elevator was completely destroyed, and there was smoke everywhere.

2977 people became victims of terrorist attacks: 246 passengers and crew members of aircraft, 2606 people in New York, in the World Trade Center buildings and on the ground, 125 in the Pentagon building. Citizens of the United States and 91 other countries were killed.

The rescue also killed 341 firefighters and two paramedics, 60 police officers and eight ambulance personnel.

On the day of the tragedy, Alexander Bratersky, now a political commentator for Gazeta.Ru, was in New York. He witnessed what was happening in the city during these terrible hours. “On September 11, 2001, I was in the United States as part of the accompanying group “Tatu,” which received an MTV award on September 9,” ​​says Alexander Bratersky. — Early in the morning I was on the subway when, together with other passengers, I saw a fire in one of the high-rise buildings. We were thrown out of the carriage - we learned from the police that the plane had crashed into the tower. We immediately thought it was a terrorist attack. I rushed to call a street payphone to go on air at Nashe Radio, where I was working at the time.”

A Gazeta.Ru columnist recalls that there was panic all around. “Many people were crying, police officers were shouting, 'Go north!', urging people to go to New Jersey on organized transport. Hearing that I spoke Russian, a girl grabbed my hand - she was confused. It turned out that the girl came from Ukraine. She was crying, so I took her to a cafe: there were people sitting there in complete silence and watching the towers fall on TV.”

When asked about the number of victims, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani replies: “More than you can bear.” At the same time, the mayor of Washington declares a state of emergency and the National Guard arrives in the city.

American Airlines confirms the loss of two aircraft. Within an hour, United Airlines also reported the loss of two of its aircraft.

The media are reporting the cancellation of the New York mayoral election due to the tragic events.

According to CNN, mass evacuations have begun in Washington and New York. A few minutes later, the mayor of New York also orders the evacuation of Lower Manhattan.

“I saw bloody people coming out of the towers. It was like a movie. Everything seemed somehow unreal. I distinctly remember the firefighters walking in with their gear, looking up and shaking their heads. Probably, many of them later died,” says an eyewitness to the events, Fox News producer Jonathan Wachtel.

The North Tower of the World Trade Center is completely destroyed - 1 hour and 41 minutes have passed since Flight 11 hit it. None of those on the upper floors survive. The Marriott Hotel, whose building was located between the two towers, was also completely destroyed. The destruction of the second tower, like the first, was shown live.

As head of state George W. Bush would later note, he perceived the third attack as a declaration of war. Immediately after that, he flew out of Florida.

“It became clearer in my head: what happened with the first plane could still be an accident, with the second it was definitely an attack, but with the third it was already a declaration of war,” the president wrote in his memoirs.

A wing of the Pentagon collapses.

United Airlines flight 93 falls 129 km southeast of Pittsburgh in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Presumably, his target was the Capitol building or the White House. However, passengers of the airliner intervened - having received messages about two other hijacked planes, they forcibly tried to regain control of the board. Realizing that they could not withstand the pressure of people, the terrorists sent the plane into the ground.

The South Tower of the World Trade Center is completely destroyed. 55 minutes have passed since Flight 175 hit it. Lower Manhattan is completely covered by huge clouds of dust.


Handout Old/Reuters

A riot of passengers on flight 93 begins. According to the crew of the plane flying past, the airliner is “shaking its wings” - at this time a struggle takes place in the cockpit between passengers and the hijackers.

The FAA command center requests aviation administration headquarters to demand military intervention in the situation with Flight 93. However, the US Federal Aviation Administration does not make a decision until the plane crashes.

Larry Downing/Reuters

After reports that Flight 77 was diverted towards Washington, the Secret Service decides to evacuate the Vice President from the White House.

Lost consciousness after the explosion, Fred Eichler opens his eyes from the light of a flashlight. A fireman climbed onto the floor and managed to save the people found, but he himself later died. When Fred got outside, he called his wife and heard her voice: “Run, run, run!” He ran - a few minutes later the North Tower collapsed.

The hijackers begin their assault on Flight 93's cockpit and seize control of the plane. Dispatchers in Cleveland receive a radio transmission from the liner: “Sit in your seats. We have a bomb."

Flight 93 receives a text warning from United Airlines dispatch: "Beware of cabin intrusion - two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center."

The Federal Aviation Administration is grounding all aircraft heading to or through New York City airspace, as well as the airspace of Boston and Washington. The ban applies to the entire country.

US President George W. Bush was caught in a terrorist attack in Florida. He is in a school in Sarasota during a reading lesson. The head of state reads “Little Goat” to the children, but the lesson is interrupted.

As the president sat in class, Chief of Staff Andy Card approached him and whispered in his ear that another plane had crashed into a second building. “America is under attack,” Chief of Staff Andy Card says in the president’s ear.

At a speed of approximately 959 km/h, Flight 175 crashes into the south side of the south tower of the World Trade Center between floors 78 and 85. Parts of the plane penetrate the building and are ejected from the east and north side, some of them fell to the ground six blocks from the building. Interruptions begin in the operation of television stations, since studios, transmitters and antenna equipment were located on the south tower.


Reuters

Flight 175 heads to New York. One of the passengers, Peter Henson, was able to reach his father from the plane:

“Everything is bad, father. The flight attendants are injured. They (the hijackers) seem to have knives and gas. They say they have a bomb. The situation on the plane is very bad. Passengers are in panic, some feel bad. The plane makes sudden movements. I don't think it's the pilot who controls the plane. I think we're going down. I think we're going to Chicago or something and we're going to crash into a building." The call is interrupted by a woman's scream.

Terrorists hijack Flight 77. The plane's transponder switches off and is out of radar range. Invisible to dispatchers, the airliner turns east. After this, Flight 77 continues to fly towards Washington for another 36 minutes without being displayed anywhere.

A flight attendant on Flight 175 contacts the United Airlines office in San Francisco. According to him, the plane has been hijacked, both pilots have been killed, and a flight attendant has been wounded. In addition, the kidnappers took control of the plane.

At least 100 people (in some sources the figure is 250 people), caught in the terrorist attack on the upper floors, jump out of the windows. A significant portion of the floor on one of the floors of the north tower had caved in, leading people to believe the building might collapse.

One person, firefighter Daniel Suhr, who was standing on the ground, is killed when a person who jumped out of a window falls directly on him.

At approximately 790 km/h, Flight 11 crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center between the 93rd and 99th floors. The plane goes almost entirely inside the building, penetrates the building to the middle and cuts all three stairwells, covering them with debris. 80 tons of aviation kerosene mixed with the remains of the plane and the wreckage of the building create a huge fire.

54-year-old insurance agent Fred Eichler arrived at his office on the 83rd floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center and went to the restroom, where he met colleagues and stopped to chat. While talking, they see a plane rushing straight towards them. Literally a few minutes later, the men were sharply thrown back several tens of meters by the blast wave.

Amy Sweeney, a flight attendant on Flight 11, called American Airlines in Boston.

"Is there something wrong. We are descending quickly. I see water. I see buildings. We're flying very, very low. We're flying too low." After a few seconds, she slowly says, “Oh, God.” The call is interrupted by loud, persistent noise.

Flight 175 hijacked. The flight attendant contacts the United Airlines office in San Francisco and reports that both pilots have been killed, a flight attendant has been wounded, and that the hijackers are probably flying the plane.


Ruben Sprich/Reuters

From international airport A United Airlines Boeing 757 takes off from Newark. The 37 passengers on board Flight 93 are bound for San Francisco after a 40-minute delay. There are four hijackers on board.

The Boston center contacts Otis Air National Guard Base and reports the hijacking of Flight 11. A few minutes later, the dispatcher also receives a message from the pilot of Flight 175, who had previously taken off from Logan: the crew saw the hijacked flight 16 km from their side.

“... we heard a strange transmission at the moment when we took off from Boston. Someone could be heard pressing a microphone button and saying “everyone stay in their seats,” the pilots reported.

Flight 11's transponder switches off, but the plane remains on surveillance radar screens as a blank blip. additional information. It then makes a 100-degree turn south and heads straight for New York.

Suddenly a radio transmission breaks through to the dispatchers: “We have several planes. Be quiet and everything will be fine. We're heading back to the airport." These words are addressed to the people in the plane—the terrorist simply mixed up the buttons.

Another Boeing 757 belonging to American Airlines takes off from Washington Dulles International Airport to Los Angeles. Flight 77 carries 58 passengers and six crew members. And again there are five hijackers on board.

Flight 11 flight attendant Betty Ong calls the American Airlines office via the on-board phone.

“The cockpit is not responding, someone is injured in business class, I think they used tear gas, we can’t breathe, I don’t know, it looks like we’re being hijacked,” the girl said, adding that two were injured flight attendants.


United Airlines Flight 175, another fully fueled Boeing 767, also departs Logan Airport for Los Angeles. There are 56 passengers and nine crew members on board. And five hijackers.

Flight 11 contacts control center for the last time. air traffic in Boston. After just a few minutes, the flight stops following the dispatcher’s instructions and does not reach the required altitude of 10.7 thousand meters.

American Airlines flight 11 (Boeing 767) departs with a 14-minute delay. All five hijackers are on board among other passengers.

Five terrorists board the plane; their faces do not yet evoke any negative emotions among the other passengers. The first of the five to board the plane was Mohammed Atta along with Abdulaziz al-Omari.

American Airlines Flight 11 is preparing to take off at Boston's Logan Airport. According to the schedule, he should fly to Los Angeles. There are 86 passengers on board.

On September 4, 2001, the national security advisers of the George W. Bush administration approved a draft version of the plan to combat al-Qaeda (banned in the Russian Federation). The plan was due to be submitted on September 10. But the US President was away and didn’t see him.

The Memorandum reminded the US President that since 1997, Osama bin Laden had openly spoken about his intention to strike the United States. Moreover, in 1997 and 1998, he said on television that his supporters were ready to follow the example of Ramzi Youssef, who in 1993 left a truck filled with explosives in an underground garage of one of the World Trade Center towers. Then six people died and about a thousand were injured.

The tragedy of September 11, 2001 horrified the world. Today, conspiracy theorists are asking the question: where did more than 1,000 bodies of victims of the terrorist attack who were at that moment in the buildings of the World Trade Center in New York go?

Remains turned to dust

At the time of the collapse, there were a total of more than 16 thousand people in both buildings. These were office and store employees, as well as ordinary visitors. More than 3,000 people were killed, according to the National Commission on Terrorism Attacks against the United States report released in 2004.

The remains of 1,634 people were subsequently discovered. Of another 1,116 people, only small fragments of bodies remained. Along with them, some office furniture, telephones, computers and other inanimate objects also “evaporated.” Or rather, they turned into dust and fragments.

As one of those who carried out search work at the scene of the tragedy said, the largest piece of office furniture found at the epicenter of the tragedy was a small piece of a telephone keypad.

In plane crashes or severe fires, only isolated fragments of the bodies of the dead often remain. But this does not usually happen when buildings collapse. Bodies can be deformed, but they do not fall apart, and certainly cannot disappear without a trace. However, this is exactly what happened to those unlucky enough to find themselves inside the Twin Towers.

According to conspiracy theorists, the fact is that the towers did not collapse - they exploded. By the way, on the roof of the neighboring Deutsche Bank building in 2006, tiny fragments of human bones were discovered. All this fits into the picture of an explosion, not a collapse. When an explosion occurs, objects can actually disintegrate into small particles.

The most interesting thing is that many family members of the victims also believe in this version. Thus, Robert McIlvaine, the father of one of those killed on September 11, is convinced that the “terrorist attack” was only a cover for an explosion organized by government agencies. And William Rodriguez, who managed to survive the tragedy, even calls the collapse of the twin towers a “controlled demolition.”

Conspiracy theorists point to other suspicious facts. Thus, part of the video footage of the attack on the Pentagon was seized by FBI agents immediately after the terrorist attack. Also, no one has seen footage of the airliner crashing into the building, or its wreckage, or the remains of passengers, or the remains of luggage.

Also, the official lists of Boeing passengers, among which there were supposed to be al-Qaeda terrorists (banned in Russia), and video and audio recordings made on board the aircraft, were not made public. The notorious black boxes were taken away by the same FBI men. Finally, part of the data was classified by US President George W. Bush.

"Controlled explosion" version

From time to time, more and more “evidence” appears that casts doubt on the official version of the 9/11 tragedy. For example, the organization “Engineers and Architects for Truth,” which includes about 2 thousand specialists in the field of engineering and architecture, argue that the Seventh 47-story tower of the World Trade Center, which collapsed after the Twin Towers due to a fire, could not have done so easy to collapse as a result of a ram, since reinforced concrete structures prevented this.

“The destruction of the Seventh Tower looks like the result of a controlled explosion,” said one of the organization’s members. “This technology requires weeks of preparation and can only be implemented according to a pre-planned scenario.”

It is curious that there were no people at all in the Seventh Tower at the time of the tragedy. In a survey conducted in 2013 in connection with the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attack, the sociological service YouGov found that 46% of Americans had no idea that not two, but three New York skyscrapers were destroyed on September 11, 2001.

At the same time, according to sociologists, 10% of respondents said that they did not believe in the results of the official investigation into the tragedy, and 38% doubted that the government made public the whole truth about those events.

They just burned out!

Meanwhile, as stated in the official government report from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), the collapse of the WTC building was caused by the destruction of the fireproof protection of the main supporting structures of the towers. The fires were also facilitated by the presence of “thermal substances” in the premises, which were part of the primer for the walls.

One way or another, the bodies of the victims, apparently, did not disappear anywhere, but simply disintegrated into separate fragments as a result of fires, which, in turn, were the result of damage caused by planes with terrorists on board. But there is always a place for conspiracy theories.

Ten years ago, 19 men trained by Al Qaeda carried out a coordinated terrorist attack on the United States. It took several years to develop the plan for the terrorist attack. Terrorists simultaneously hijacked 4 large passenger planes with the intention of using them to destroy the most famous landmarks in the United States, taking as many lives as possible. Three planes reached their targets, the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. In one day, these acts of mass murder killed about 3,000 people from 57 countries. Of these, more than 400 died - firefighters, police and ambulance crews. This event received the maximum coverage in the entire history of the media, and even ten years later it is difficult to look at these photographs. The attacks and the response to them have greatly shaped the world we live in today, which is why it is important to look at these photographs and remember what happened that day. This post is the second of three on the September 11 terrorist attacks.
