The Debrief With MyronGainesX - Former Fed Reacts To 9⧸11 Conspiracy! Was It An INSIDE Job？ (PART 1)

00:00:00.200 And we are live. What's up, guys? Welcome to Fed It Man.

00:00:02.320 Today, we're going to be covering the 9-11 conspiracy side of the house.

00:00:05.760 We got a lot to cover. This is a five-hour documentary.

00:00:07.660 This is probably going to be part one of either two or three,

00:00:09.940 depending on how much we can get through.

00:00:11.400 But we got a lot to cover, guys. Let's get right into it.

00:00:16.040 I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, okay, guys?

00:00:18.820 HSI. The cases that I did mostly were human smuggling and drug trafficking.

00:00:24.380 No one else has these documents, by the way.

00:00:26.700 Here's what Fed It covers.

00:00:27.800 And Dr. Lafredo confirmed lacerations due to stepping on glass.

00:00:34.660 Murder investigations.

00:00:35.640 If you see him reaching in his jacket, you don't know.

00:00:37.900 And he's positioning.

00:00:38.580 Been on February 13, 2019.

00:00:40.260 You're facing two counts of two meditative murders.

00:00:43.400 Racketeering and Rico conspiracy.

00:00:45.160 Young Slime Life here and after referred to as YSL.

00:00:47.800 This is 6-9. And then this is Billy Seiko right here.

00:00:51.260 Now, when they first started, guys, 6-9 ran.

00:00:53.760 I'm a Fed. I'm watching this music video.

00:00:55.380 You know, I'm bombing my highlight.

00:00:57.460 Hey, this shit lit.

00:00:58.240 But at the same time, I'm pausing.

00:00:59.720 Oh, wait, who this?

00:01:00.940 Right?

00:01:01.380 Oh, who's that in the back?

00:01:03.540 Firearms and violent crime.

00:01:04.900 A.K.A. Bush IC violated.

00:01:06.760 You're wanting to stay away from the victim.

00:01:08.420 Robert Bush IC arrested after shooting at King of Diamonds, Miami strip club.

00:01:11.720 This is the one that's going to fuck him up because this gun is not tracing him.

00:01:15.700 Well, it happened at the gun range.

00:01:17.200 Here's your boy, 42 Doug, right here on the left.

00:01:19.480 Okay.

00:01:19.780 Sex trafficking and sex crimes.

00:01:21.420 They can effectively link him to paying an underage girl.

00:01:24.460 I'm going to knock my 50-11 at right.

00:01:25.940 And the first bomb went off right here.

00:01:28.940 Suspect to set down a backpack on the site of the second explosion inspired by Al-Qaeda.

00:01:34.040 Two terrorists, brothers, the Zokar Sarnab and Tamerland Sarnab.

00:01:38.560 When the cartel shipped drugs into the country.

00:01:40.560 This guy got arrested for espionage, okay?

00:01:43.360 Trading secrets with the Russians for monetary compensation. 0.57

00:01:47.360 The largest corrupt police bust in New Orleans history.

00:01:51.620 The days of the police are gone.

00:01:53.380 So he was in this bad boy.

00:01:54.780 We're going to go over his past, the gang time, so that this all makes sense.

00:02:05.120 All right.

00:02:05.740 We're back.

00:02:06.180 What's up, guys?

00:02:06.680 Welcome to Fed It, man.

00:02:07.460 Quick announces.

00:02:08.200 Number one, party tickets are still on sale, guys.

00:02:10.040 So if you want to jump in on the party, January 14th, Christina is actually helping us with that.

00:02:13.620 She's in the house as well.

00:02:14.800 She's going to be helping with the logistics of the party, getting the venue, everything else like that.

00:02:19.220 So tickets are on sale.

00:02:20.440 Also, guys, I'm on Anchor on anchor.fm.fedit1811.

00:02:25.200 We're uploading an episode every single day, pretty much.

00:02:28.240 Well, no.

00:02:28.780 Sorry, not every single day.

00:02:29.640 But we're uploading every single episode onto Anchor so you guys can listen to it in audio format.

00:02:34.940 And, yeah, guys, don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel.

00:02:36.820 So without further ado, today's episode, guys, we're going to go ahead and get into the conspiracy side of the house when it comes to 9-11.

00:02:42.340 As you guys know, this is a multi-part series.

00:02:44.900 Part one, we covered the 9-11 attacks and how the FBI investigated the case and was able to identify al-Qaeda.

00:02:49.540 Then from there, identifying al-Qaeda, figured out bin Laden was behind it.

00:02:52.900 Then we went into episode two, which covered how the CIA tracked and found bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

00:02:57.980 Then part three was how the Navy SEALs raided the compound, found bin Laden, killed bin Laden, and what they actually found in his house to include his personal notes was on his hard drive, etc.

00:03:07.520 And we were able to kind of get an idea of what bin Laden had planned had he not been killed by the Navy SEALs back then.

00:03:15.960 Now we're going to get into part four of this 9-11 multi-part series.

00:03:21.080 And we're going to go ahead and cover the conspiracy theories around this.

00:03:23.940 So for all you guys out there that have been waiting, I got y'all.

00:03:26.700 We're finally getting into the conspiracy part, which we're going to watch a documentary called The New Pearl Harbor.

00:03:30.840 It's a five-hour long documentary, guys.

00:03:32.820 More than likely, I'm going to have to break this up into either two to three parts.

00:03:36.800 There's different segments of the documentary.

00:03:39.260 And yeah, man, I mean, they make some valid points here.

00:03:41.820 Good critique.

00:03:42.680 So watch it together.

00:03:44.840 Break it down.

00:03:45.880 And yeah, let's get right into it.

00:03:47.840 Christine, you got anything for the people before we get into this bad boy?

00:03:50.320 Yeah, if you guys have any case.

00:03:51.880 Into the mic.

00:03:52.400 Oh, sorry.

00:03:53.320 If you guys have any cases you want to do, so contact the IG, FETIT1811.

00:03:57.760 Cool.

00:03:58.380 Yeah, and she manages that, so she'll go ahead.

00:04:00.680 I know you guys have been giving her cases that you guys want us to review on there and questions and everything else like that.

00:04:07.020 And guys that want to help out with the videos, like gathering, court documents and stuff, we appreciate you guys.

00:04:12.180 You guys are the best.

00:04:12.840 Yeah, because we have a long list of cases people want, but it takes hours to go through everything and find everything.

00:04:20.460 Yes, especially stuff like the Young Dolph, you know what I mean?

00:04:23.280 Because for that, they've been kind of threatening people that we've been trying to send over there to do it.

00:04:28.860 We'll get it.

00:04:29.380 We'll find a way.

00:04:30.080 Yeah, we will get it, guys.

00:04:31.080 We will get it for y'all.

00:04:32.820 So, okay.

00:04:33.780 So let's go ahead and bring this on screen, guys.

00:04:36.560 This is going to be the new Pearl Harbor.

00:04:40.620 And actually, shout out to Sneeko.

00:04:41.880 He's the one that put me onto this thing, saying to watch it.

00:04:45.160 And the documentary does make some good points.

00:04:47.260 So the beginning part here, guys, they're going to pretty much draw parallels between Pearl Harbor, right, from the 40s to 9-11 and some of the similarities.

00:04:56.220 Let's go ahead and get right into it, guys.

00:04:57.700 On the very day of September 11, several commentators drew a parallel with the historical events of Pearl Harbor.

00:05:07.860 And it's a day that will, as was the case with Pearl Harbor, live in infamy in American history.

00:05:14.420 The last time there was an attack like this on the United States was Pearl Harbor.

00:05:17.840 Reminiscent of another terrible day, the attack on Pearl Harbor.

00:05:21.520 But there was also someone on the same day who offered a prediction.

00:05:24.960 After the attack on Pearl Harbor, guess what we did?

00:05:28.080 We went back and found out that, yes, the evidence was there.

00:05:30.600 We should have known.

00:05:31.820 And again, I think what we're going to see, even in this instance, this Pearl Harbor, the 21st century, is very much the same kind of thing.

00:05:38.120 In fact, the more information that has been emerging about September 11, the more we have come to realize that many different aspects of the two events bear a chilling resemblance to each other.

00:05:47.680 Thank you.

00:06:17.680 December 7, 1941.

00:06:19.460 You guys are going to go ahead and get some of the implications that led what led to America's future after Pearl Harbor.

00:06:26.500 So they're basically drawing, you know, similarities between the two events.

00:06:29.920 All right.

00:06:30.340 While both events were needed by the U.S. to go to war, in both cases, the ultimate goal was not the one initially stated.

00:06:42.140 Roosevelt knew a surprise Japanese attack would enrage the public and jumpstart the American war machine.

00:06:48.400 In this way, FDR would get backdoor entry into what he really wanted, a war with Hitler. 0.59

00:06:57.000 According to their own documents, before 9-11, the neocons knew that a surprise attack, like a new Pearl Harbor, would enrage the public and jumpstart the war machine against Afghanistan.

00:07:08.220 In this way, they would get a backdoor entry into what they really wanted, the war with Saddam Hussein.

00:07:13.960 From the very beginning, there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go.

00:07:22.960 He says that going after Saddam Hussein was topic A 10 days after the inauguration, eight months before September 11th.

00:07:32.080 All right.

00:07:32.660 Who is Saddam Hussein, guys?

00:07:33.840 Real quick so that you guys kind of understand.

00:07:35.720 Because, again, some of you guys might not be geopolitically inclined.

00:07:39.800 Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Takiri, his full name, was an Iraqi politician who served as the fifth president of Iraq from July 6, 1979 until April 9, 2003.

00:07:50.640 And for some of you guys that are old enough to remember, this is right around the time when we invaded Iraq, which was in late March.

00:07:56.380 Okay.

00:07:56.660 And he actually ended up dying.

00:07:59.900 When did he die?

00:08:03.000 Let's see here.

00:08:06.280 He died, yeah, December 30th, 2006.

00:08:09.820 I remember seeing the video.

00:08:11.400 They hung him.

00:08:12.340 They hung him.

00:08:13.080 But this was him, guys.

00:08:14.060 This was public enemy number one back in the day.

00:08:15.760 In the early 2000s was Saddam Hussein in Iraq because they had invited, evaded, you know, Saudi Arabia.

00:08:22.580 You know, we had the whole desert storm, evading Kuwait, whatever.

00:08:25.860 So Saddam Hussein was definitely an enemy of the United States back then.

00:08:29.240 Before and during the war, the propaganda machine made a relentless effort to create a direct connection between Hitler and Japan.

00:08:37.960 One poll taken immediately after Pearl Harbor showed that more than 60% of Americans believed that Germany was behind the attack.

00:08:46.800 The Bush-Cheney propaganda machine made an even harder effort to create a direct association between Iraq and Osama bin Laden.

00:08:53.560 By the end of 2003, nearly 70% of Americans believed that Saddam was implicated in the September 11 attacks.

00:09:02.840 Top levels of the Roosevelt administration knew in advance that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked.

00:09:08.400 General Marshall and Admiral Stark and indeed FDR indeed knew that Pearl Harbor was being painted for a bombing run by the Japanese.

00:09:16.440 Secretary of State Cordell Hull even knew the exact day of the attack a week before it took place.

00:09:21.960 Cordell Hull was Secretary of State and he called me on Saturday mornings and he started to relate that Pearl Harbor would be attacked on December the 7th.

00:09:38.320 Before September 11, many in the intelligence community knew the attacks were on their way.

00:09:43.560 There was so much discussion about this attack.

00:09:46.740 Everybody was talking about it.

00:09:48.400 George Tenet had some meetings, other analysts had meetings at the White House.

00:09:54.200 Vital information on the Japanese attack was kept from those who could have used it to defend the Hawaiian port and to minimize the number of American casualties.

00:10:02.460 Two men could use that information immediately.

00:10:05.540 Admiral Husband Kimmel and Lieutenant General Walter Short, the commanders at Pearl Harbor.

00:10:10.460 If FDR and his administration deliberately withheld the vital intelligence from Pearl Harbor and all the evidence indicates that they did,

00:10:27.060 then it was certainly a deliberate conspiracy to set Pearl Harbor up for a total defeat.

00:10:32.580 Before September 11, important information was kept from counterterrorism czar Richard Clark, who could have organized a defense and even have prevented the attacks altogether.

00:10:42.220 You have to intentionally stop it.

00:10:45.700 You have to intervene and say, no, I don't want that report to go.

00:10:50.040 We therefore conclude that there was a high level decision in the CIA ordering people not to share that information.

00:10:57.160 In both cases, the pre-knowledge by the U.S. government on the upcoming attacks was denounced in front of Congress.

00:11:03.520 In September 1944, Republican Representative Forrest Harness of India made the first congressional...

00:11:10.160 I want to tell you all real quick.

00:11:11.620 Now, what they're saying about this, you know, at the highest levels of the CIA, et cetera, I will say this.

00:11:16.300 As much as I make fun of the CIA for fucking shit up, I did a whole documentary on this, guys.

00:11:21.120 And this is the video right here.

00:11:22.300 It's called Most Wanted Osama Bin Laden and How the CIA Found Him, OK?

00:11:26.000 And in this, I documented how the CIA gave many warnings, guys, to the White House and the people higher up about Bin Laden, OK?

00:11:38.260 Here.

00:11:38.600 Actually, you know what?

00:11:39.280 Hold on.

00:11:39.580 Let me...

00:11:41.020 You know what?

00:11:41.680 You guys might not be able to hear this.

00:11:42.560 Let me put this on Firefox for you guys.

00:11:44.260 Bear with me one second.

00:11:46.240 But that is the actual video.

00:11:48.180 Hold on.

00:11:48.320 Hold on.

00:11:51.180 Boom.

00:11:52.300 And that's the beauty of timestamps.

00:11:54.600 I could go back to my own videos.

00:11:57.300 One twenty seven fifty.

00:11:59.220 OK?

00:12:00.620 Which, by the way, guys, just so y'all know, all of my videos, I always put timestamps on everything, man.

00:12:05.460 That's very important.

00:12:08.100 20, 2001, Bin Laden.

00:12:09.720 See, so right here.

00:12:10.920 CIA has many warnings to 9-11.

00:12:12.160 So look, April 20, 2001, you know, planning multiple operations.

00:12:17.880 Back to the United States.

00:12:19.100 We would have weekly or bi-weekly meetings sometimes on exact...

00:12:24.900 May 3rd, 2001, Bin Laden public profile, May presage attack.

00:12:30.160 Exactly what was going on.

00:12:31.420 This woman right here was one of the main people. 1.00

00:12:36.700 Yeah, I know.

00:12:37.220 Ha ha ha.

00:12:37.800 But yes, this main woman right here was one of the main targeters for Bin Laden. 1.00

00:12:41.340 She had been warning people about Bin Laden since the early to mid-90s, guys, in the Clinton administration.

00:12:47.580 So the CIA definitely had Bin Laden on their radar.

00:12:51.100 It's just that no one took it seriously, you know, and it might have been over at the White House, right?

00:12:55.960 Because, you know, the conspiracy theory is that they wanted to go to war and they wanted to use this 9-11 attack as a proxy to go ahead and go after Iraq, which, you know, let's be honest here.

00:13:06.040 Bin Laden, Bush's main thing is we got to go after weapons of mass destruction.

00:13:09.480 That was the main point that he was using to go and attack Iraq, which they had nothing to do with 9-11.

00:13:17.380 You know, Bin Laden and his crew, that's a whole other thing. 1.00

00:13:19.280 Matter of fact, and you guys know this as well, Bin Laden and Hussein did not like each other.

00:13:24.400 Bin Laden volunteered to fight the Iraqis when they invaded Kuwait in the 90s.

00:13:31.600 The whole reason why Bin Laden hates the United States, guys, right? 0.96

00:13:34.660 And I explained this, but just to give you guys a quick little thing, what happened was...

00:13:39.480 Iraq invaded Kuwait, which obviously is a national security risk for Saudi Arabia.

00:13:44.720 So Bin Laden, you know, off of his high of beating the Soviets in the 80s, right, in the late 70s and the 80s, and getting them out of Afghanistan. 0.93

00:13:52.460 He's like, yo, I got my freedom fighters, a.k.a. what became al-Qaeda later on.

00:13:56.820 He's like, yo, I got my freedom fighters.

00:13:58.380 We can help protect the kingdom.

00:13:59.840 Let's do it.

00:14:00.680 But what did Saudi Arabia do?

00:14:02.560 They said, no, we're going to use the Americans. 0.53

00:14:04.320 The Americans are going to protect us because, as you guys know, the United States is always going to protect Saudi Arabia 1.00

00:14:09.020 because of oil, right?

00:14:10.180 The petrodollar, everything, you know, the agreement that the United States had to protect the royal kingdom for oil, okay?

00:14:17.520 So Bin Laden, obviously, this enraged him.

00:14:19.840 He's like, how are you going to let Americans, a.k.a. non-Muslims, protect Muslim land? 0.73

00:14:23.960 This is bullshit, blah, blah, blah.

00:14:25.300 So he ended up criticizing the Saudi government because of this.

00:14:28.800 And what ended up happening was the Saudi government stripped him of his Saudi Arabian citizenship and pretty much ostracized him.

00:14:33.760 They exiled him.

00:14:34.540 So he had to go hide out in Sudan for several years and run al-Qaeda operations there.

00:14:37.840 And that's where his resentment towards the United States started to build even more.

00:14:41.080 He already had issues with the United States before because of the support for Israel.

00:14:43.940 But pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back was the United States protecting Saudi Arabia, his country, right, from potential invasion and or national security risks from Iraq. 0.86

00:14:57.160 So Osama and Saddam didn't see eye to eye at all.

00:15:00.940 They didn't like each other at all.

00:15:02.360 So the whole we need to invade Iraq because, you know, of the war against terror, et cetera, Bin Laden and Saddam don't get along at all.

00:15:10.740 As a matter of fact, that's the whole reason why Bin Laden didn't like the United States was because he wasn't allowed to fight said I'm off. 0.50

00:15:18.420 But mainstream media ain't going to cover this.

00:15:20.160 And I actually covered this in detail, guys, on this podcast right here, which was episode two of the of, you know, Osama Bin Laden and how the CIA found him.

00:15:31.040 But, yeah, man, they warned him.

00:15:32.400 You guys can see, look.

00:15:33.160 It's frustrating when you can't figure out date and time.

00:15:36.440 There's always a large band of uncertain.

00:15:38.380 Bin Laden networks plan advancing. 0.84

00:15:41.240 Bin Laden networks plans advancing.

00:15:43.960 That's May 26th.

00:15:45.000 Wish I could tell you when and where.

00:15:47.680 But it's not that easy with it.

00:15:49.620 I want to know where.

00:15:50.680 I want to know who.

00:15:51.780 We could not.

00:15:52.740 August 3rd, 2001.

00:15:53.740 Threat of impending Al-Qaeda attack to continue indefinitely.

00:15:57.340 Determine time, target, and method.

00:15:59.240 You know, I really wish I could tell you when and where.

00:16:02.540 But it's not that easy with the clandestine organization.

00:16:05.760 Well, if you just had more human assets, you did less analysis.

00:16:10.980 So, yeah.

00:16:11.340 You know, you guys get the idea.

00:16:12.800 But basically, you know, they were spending quite a bit of time on Bin Laden and identifying his network and all the criminal activity he was involved in and his plots, etc.

00:16:21.920 So, yeah.

00:16:23.880 All right.

00:16:24.280 Let's get back to the new Pearl Harbor. 0.98

00:16:26.580 So, I will say that the CIA definitely did notify the higher-ups about it.

00:16:32.480 But, like I said before, you know, there could have been, who knows what they were doing over there at the White House.

00:16:37.200 Maybe they didn't take the threat seriously.

00:16:38.600 Maybe they didn't give a fuck.

00:16:39.540 Whatever it is.

00:16:40.180 Incompetence.

00:16:40.820 Stupidity.

00:16:41.380 Who knows, man.

00:16:42.120 Stupid.

00:16:43.060 But, you know, it's documented that the CIA, and you guys are going to see here as well, other government agencies also notified the United States about the impending attacks on 9-11.

00:16:52.740 Out of Pearl Harbor conspiracy, he said that three days before Pearl Harbor, the Australian government had warned Washington that a Japanese aircraft carrier was headed towards Hawaii.

00:17:05.740 But, he said, that information was withheld from Kimmel and Short.

00:17:10.640 After September 11, Republican Congressman Kurt Weldon denounced the pre-knowledge of information on the upcoming attacks, which was intentionally withheld from the intelligence community.

00:17:20.040 This is an attempt to prevent the American people from knowing the facts about how we could have prevented 9-11, and people are covering it up today.

00:17:29.240 When honest officials stumbled on important information on the Japanese attack, they went straight to their superiors, only to see that information ignored, diverted, or suppressed altogether.

00:17:39.540 The chief of naval intelligence in Washington, Captain Alan Kirk, recognized the message as plans for a bombing raid, but his persistent attempts to warn Kimmel ended when he was assigned to other duties.

00:17:52.820 At Pearl Harbor, the admiral had no way of knowing that Kirk had been repeatedly refused permission to warn him.

00:17:58.960 In August 2001, FBI agent Colleen Rowley discovered information that could have led to uncover the September 11 plot, but her memos never got past her superiors, while she was prevented from pursuing the investigation any further.

00:18:13.840 Finally, it turns out they were not read by the lawyer and the FBI who had the duty to send those over to the Department of Justice.

00:18:20.940 Hours before the Japanese strike, Roosevelt's chief of staff, George Marshall, became...

00:18:25.640 All right, so this woman, Colleen Rowley, real quick, I'll show y'all who this is. 0.92

00:18:29.600 Oh, goddammit.

00:18:32.200 Where'd you put it?

00:18:33.900 It's right here. Sorry, guys.

00:18:38.380 Colleen Rowley, born December 20, 1954, is an American former FBI special agent and whistleblower, and was a Democratic Farmer Labor Party, DFL candidate for Congress in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District. 0.97

00:18:48.120 Okay, Rowley is well known for testifying as to concerns regarding the FBI ignoring information of a suspected terrorist during 9-11, which led to a two-year investigation by the Department of Justice.

00:18:59.640 Also, very interesting, guys.

00:19:02.240 So she became an agent in 1981.

00:19:04.320 In 1984, she spent six years in New York field office doing Italian organized crime, right?

00:19:10.120 Because as you guys know, back in the 80s, that's what they were trying to do in the 70s.

00:19:13.880 Then, interestingly enough, in 1990, she was transferred to the FBI's Minneapolis field office, where she became chief division counsel.

00:19:20.780 There, she taught constitutional law to FBI agents and police officers and oversaw the Freedom of Information Asset Forfeiture Program, Victim Witness, and Community Outreach Programs.

00:19:29.360 After the 9-11 attacks in 2001, Rowley wrote a paper for the FBI director, Robert Mueller, documenting how FBI HQ personnel in Washington, D.C. had mishandled and failed to take action on information provided by the Minneapolis, Minnesota field office regarding its investigation of suspected terrorist, Zacharias Massawi.

00:19:45.800 Now, if you guys watched the other episode I did, again, this is why you guys got to watch the 9-11 episode that I did, and I'll show you out real fast.

00:19:52.820 Okay?

00:19:55.140 This is a video we just did with the Haram girl.

00:19:57.760 Okay.

00:19:58.460 Yeah.

00:19:59.320 That's all I am.

00:20:00.540 Speaking of Saudi Arabia.

00:20:01.700 But anyway, this episode right here, guys, we talk about Massawi in detail, how the Minneapolis office went ahead and identified him.

00:20:10.520 But, you know, had they identified him sooner, who knows what could have happened.

00:20:14.000 And that's what Colleen Riley actually brought to light.

00:20:18.620 So, FBI identifies Zacharias Massawi.

00:20:21.680 It comes from inside the FBI itself.

00:20:25.280 Oh, hold on.

00:20:25.740 I don't think.

00:20:26.260 You know what?

00:20:26.620 Let me.

00:20:27.260 Wait, is that why she's a whistleblower? 1.00

00:20:29.280 Yeah, because she brought it to their attention.

00:20:31.980 You know, matter of fact, let me.

00:20:33.460 That's crazy.

00:20:36.640 Of course, they're going to give it the 18 and up, man.

00:20:39.180 So lame.

00:20:40.440 I mean, look at it.

00:20:42.180 And as you guys can see, nicely organized timestamps once again.

00:20:45.680 Make sure to go check out this episode.

00:20:46.840 This was episode one of the 9-11 series.

00:20:49.320 I hope you guys enjoyed it, man, because this took a lot of work to make, man.

00:20:54.140 A lot of research.

00:20:55.560 See, as you guys can see right here, FBI, D, Zacharias Massawi, and power of immigration and counterterrorism.

00:21:00.900 Critical.

00:21:01.520 And this is at 129.40.

00:21:04.000 Comes from inside the FBI itself.

00:21:06.540 We had been pushing to our management in Minneapolis to let New York know we had a subject who had to be connected to the attacks.

00:21:17.740 And that's this guy.

00:21:28.480 Prosecutors on Mr. Moussaoui.

00:21:30.640 That's a big find.

00:21:32.920 Because this guy, just to sum it up for y'all, right?

00:21:35.380 And you guys should definitely watch this episode because I go into detail about, you know, how the FBI did their 9-11 investigation, et cetera.

00:21:40.580 They did it from a parking lot, amazingly.

00:21:42.140 But long story short, this guy, guys, he basically came on the radar because he was trying to learn how to fly planes but not land.

00:21:53.740 Which, you know, that should be a clue.

00:21:56.300 Like, you know, yeah, I just want to learn how to fly.

00:21:58.320 I don't care about landing too much.

00:21:59.400 Just teach me how to fly.

00:22:00.700 So that's how he got on FBI's radar, man.

00:22:02.780 One of the dumbest criminals ever.

00:22:03.960 But, yeah, Zacharias Moussaoui.

00:22:07.000 But going back to what I was saying, right, with Colleen Rowley, she criticizes Minneapolis for not getting on him sooner, okay?

00:22:15.160 They only identified him after the fact once, you know, the FBI obviously had a kick in their ass that they had to go ahead and make some shit happen.

00:22:24.060 Moussaoui had been suspected of being involved in preparations for a suicide hijacking similar to December 1994 Eiffel Tower hijacking of Air France 8969.

00:22:30.960 Airs identified by Raleigh may have left the U.S. vulnerable to September 11th attacks.

00:22:36.660 Raleigh was one of many agents frustrated by the events that led up to the attacks writing.

00:22:40.700 Quote, during the early aftermath of September 11th, when I happened to be recounting the pre-September 11th events concerning the Moussaoui investigation to other FBI personnel in other divisions or in FBI HQ, almost everyone's first question was, why?

00:22:56.200 Why wouldn't FBI agents deliberately sabotage a case?

00:23:01.980 I know I shouldn't be flipping about this, but jokes were actually made that the key FBI HQ personnel had to be spies or moles like Robert Hansen, which I covered his case as well, by the way, guys. 0.71

00:23:10.800 Go check it out.

00:23:11.520 Robert Hansen, one of the worst intel leaks of U.S. history, who were actually working for Osama Bin Laden to have so undercut Minneapolis's efforts.

00:23:18.600 So, yeah, she's making jokes that they were so – it was so bad.

00:23:22.740 Now, here's the thing that I got to tell you, because I've worked with the FBI quite a bit, not a few cases – a bunch of cases with them.

00:23:29.200 I'll give it a thousand with y'all.

00:23:30.140 Most FBI agents are useless, guys.

00:23:31.540 Most of them don't work that hard.

00:23:33.400 You know, they're just collecting a paycheck.

00:23:34.640 They're just chilling.

00:23:35.760 You know, you're always going to have your go-getter agents.

00:23:37.760 And this is what any agency – this isn't just FBI.

00:23:40.100 DEA has lazy agents.

00:23:41.240 HSI has lazy agents, ATF.

00:23:44.740 Any federal agency you could think of, three-letter agency, is always going to have slugs.

00:23:48.100 That's just the way the U.S. government is, guys.

00:23:50.840 People sit back and collect a paycheck.

00:23:52.700 80% of the work that's actually, like, good is done by only about 20% of the personnel, man.

00:23:57.060 That's just how it goes.

00:23:58.020 So I'm not surprised that an office like Minneapolis, which is probably more than likely going to be a slower office, right, in the interior, isn't going to be that busy.

00:24:06.500 And guys are going to be doing stupid shit and missing a lead like that, which, you know, obviously is terrible.

00:24:10.720 But let's keep it 1,000.

00:24:12.240 The FBI didn't start taking terrorism seriously until after the 9-11 attacks, after 2001.

00:24:17.800 They were more focused on Italian mafias and criminal cases and maybe espionage and stuff like that.

00:24:24.380 But counterterrorism, yes, it was the main mission, but they did not put as much effort and resources into it until after 9-11, guys.

00:24:32.660 So I think that's a very important distinction.

00:24:34.440 So that Masawi situation, they're probably like, oh, okay, just some idiot that doesn't want to learn how to land planes. 0.95

00:24:40.080 Okay, no big deal, whatever.

00:24:41.680 You know, so they didn't take it seriously.

00:24:43.600 And that was extremely L.

00:24:47.540 L-FBI in the chat, man.

00:24:49.100 L-FBI in the chat.

00:24:50.220 I ain't going to lie.

00:24:50.880 That's a big L on their part.

00:24:52.280 So, suddenly unavailable, delaying the process of communication within the chain of command.

00:24:58.960 General George Marshall, the man who should have acted, was nowhere to be found.

00:25:04.940 Colonel Rufus Bratton was responsible for keeping Marshall supplied with such vital information.

00:25:10.680 For Bratton, Marshall's sudden unavailability at a time when America was on the brink of war could not have been accidental.

00:25:20.500 In the crucial hours of September 11, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and other top military became suddenly unavailable, hampering the decisional process within the chain of command.

00:25:30.680 For 30 minutes, we couldn't find him.

00:25:33.320 Withholding information, however, may not have been sufficient to guarantee the success of the Japanese attack.

00:25:39.860 The military capacity of the Hawaiian port was also kept below its requirements.

00:25:44.580 General Short, faced with the need to send out long-range patrols, had only a handful of suitable aircraft.

00:25:51.560 His demands for more were not seen as a priority.

00:25:54.460 On September 11, only four jets remained on alert to defend the entire sector of the country most likely to suffer an attack.

00:26:02.720 I've determined, of course, that with only four aircraft, we cannot defend the whole northeastern United States.

00:26:08.000 President Roosevelt gave direct orders not to interfere with the Japanese attack.

00:26:12.760 President Roosevelt told General Marshall to send a message to the Hawaiian and Philippine commanders,

00:26:18.880 don't interfere with Japan's overt act of war.

00:26:22.180 Oh, shit.

00:26:22.800 The United States desires that they, in Japan, commit the first overt act. 0.87

00:26:28.920 There's no argument about what FDR meant.

00:26:31.580 He meant that the U.S. naval plan to defend Pearl Harbor should not and cannot be executed.

00:26:41.620 On September 11, Vice President Cheney gave a direct order regarding the plane headed towards Washington,

00:26:47.580 which in fact resulted in the plane reaching its target without being shot down.

00:26:51.900 The young man said, Vice President, the plane's 10 miles out.

00:26:56.560 Do the orders still stand?

00:26:58.080 And the vice president sort of whipped his head around and said, of course they do.

00:27:03.860 It was thanks to the indignation for the 3,000 sailors killed at Pearl Harbor that President Roosevelt could finally enter a war the U.S. had been preparing for months in advance.

00:27:14.320 With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.

00:27:29.020 So help us God.

00:27:30.460 Use it as a, you know, rallying point to go ahead and gather everybody and say, we're going to war, baby.

00:27:39.120 Nation for the 3,000 victims of September 11, that President Bush could launch a war that had already been prepared in the smallest detail.

00:27:47.100 CNN and Time Magazine have reported that on September 10, 2001, a military plan to attack Afghanistan had been placed on Georgia.

00:27:55.260 Oh, shit.

00:27:56.300 September 10, the CIA plan to attack Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan with heavy support for the Northern Alliance is put on Bush's desk for when he returns from Florida.

00:28:03.860 And for some of you guys that are wondering, on September 11, George Bush was actually, if I'm not mistaken, in Sarasota, Florida at an elementary school, you know, reading a children's book when he got the news.

00:28:15.360 George Bush's desk to be signed by the president upon his return from Florida.

00:28:20.460 May God grant us wisdom and may he watch over the United States of America.

00:28:26.180 Then came the official commissions, which in both cases were tasked to find out whether there had been a conspiracy by the same authorities that were suspected of having participated in the conspiracy.

00:28:41.620 Just three months after VJ Day, Senator Alvin Barclay of Kentucky convenes the Joint Congressional Committee on the investigation of the Pearl Harbor attack.

00:28:52.520 The committee lays much of the blame on the commanders at Pearl Harbor and largely exonerates FDR and his top advisors.

00:29:00.520 But its conclusions draw charges of cover-up and cronyism.

00:29:05.020 Gross negligence becomes high treason when the motive is discovered or understood.

00:29:14.320 In July 2004, the commission published its final report.

00:29:18.500 Two and a half million pages of documents.

00:29:22.060 We've interviewed over 1,200 individuals, including experts and officials past and present.

00:29:29.340 However, the commission report failed to meet many of the family's expectations.

00:29:33.200 And guys, anytime like a tragedy, like a national tragedy occurs, typically, you know, there's going to be an investigation, you know, done by the government and they're going to go ahead and do some kind of commission report.

00:29:42.500 Right. Like, I mean, when JFK was killed, 9-11, Pearl Harbor, anytime a major tragedy like this happens where it affects national security, there's going to be a huge investigation.

00:29:52.900 They're going to put people on oath. They're going to be asking all types of questions.

00:29:55.960 And a report is going to be done after the fact.

00:29:58.620 So this is no different for the 9-11 commission report.

00:30:01.140 That's where this report stems from.

00:30:02.680 So a big part of this documentary is going to be debunking the official narrative that came from this 9-11 report.

00:30:11.160 Okay. Let's get into it.

00:30:13.420 Published in 2004, the 9-11 commission report has become the central focus of criticism by the 9-11 truth movement, a movement comprised of thousands of individuals and associations from all over the world, all connected through the Internet.

00:30:31.800 The commission's report is accused of having simply rubber stamped the government's version of the events by ignoring all the evidence against it while covering up its most conspicuous holes with a long series of omissions, distortions, and even...

00:30:45.600 And here it is right here, guys. 9-11 truth movement, right? Quick little thing on this.

00:30:50.960 The 9-11 truth movement supports a conspiracy theory that disputes the general consensus in the September 11th attacks that a group of al-Qaeda terrorists would hijack four airliners and crash them into the Pentagon and the original World Trade Center Twin Towers,

00:31:01.040 which consequently collapsed. The primary focus is on missed information that adherents allege is not adequately explained in the official NASA Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST.

00:31:11.080 Guys, remember, these guys are going to be a big part of this documentary, okay?

00:31:14.920 Such as the collapse of World Trade 7, the 7 World Trade Center.

00:31:18.540 They suggest a cover-up and at least complicity by insiders.

00:31:22.600 They analyze evidence from the attacks, discuss different theories about how the attacks happen, and call for a new investigation into the attacks.

00:31:27.500 Some of the organizations assert that there is evidence that individuals within the United States government may have been either responsible for or knowingly complicit in the September 11th attacks.

00:31:36.220 Motives suggested by the movement include the use of the attacks as a pretext to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to create opportunities to curtail American civil liberties.

00:31:45.360 Support for the movement is negligible from professionals in relevant fields such as civil and aerospace engineering, okay?

00:31:51.240 So that kind of gives you guys an idea of where we're going here.

00:31:54.980 And you can't even find the website, really, when you Google it.

00:31:58.500 Google got this shit. Shadow banned.

00:32:00.280 All right, let's get back into it.

00:32:02.620 And this video actually was shadow banned as well, guys.

00:32:04.880 Just so y'all know, you gotta have to type like the whole thing to be able to find it.

00:32:07.500 ...than plain falsehoods.

00:32:09.840 Led by researcher David Ray Griffin, an international panel of 20 experts on 9-11 has compiled a list of the strongest evidence against the official version that has emerged to this day.

00:32:20.640 This evidence is available to the public on their website in four different languages.

00:32:24.740 Despite all the evidence that has emerged in the last decades, there are many who still reject the idea of a conspiracy at Pearl Harbor and prefer to reassert the much more simplistic explanation called the official version.

00:32:38.520 There was no conspiracy. FDR did not know. Cornell Hall did not know. The American government did not know that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.

00:32:51.480 It was a, what has been called a failure of imagination.

00:32:55.820 Despite all the evidence presented in the last 10 years by the 9-11 truth movement, there are many who openly support the official version by the government and dismiss such evidence as irrelevant.

00:33:06.920 These people are known as debunkers, as their stated intent is to debunk the evidence presented by the 9-11 truth movement against the official version.

00:33:15.400 The most authoritative debunker in Italy is Paolo Attivissimo, a member of an organization called CICAP, which has openly declared war on the so-called conspiracy theorists.

00:33:26.180 Attivissimo has held numerous conferences on 9-11 in which he has covered all the most important aspects of the debate.

00:33:32.860 The most prominent champion for the official version in France is Jerome Quirant, who also wrote a book called September 11 and the Conspiracy Theories.

00:33:40.760 Quirant also participated in numerous conferences and television debates on 9-11 in his own country.

00:33:47.360 But the flagship for the debunkers worldwide is certainly the American magazine Popular Mechanics.

00:33:52.960 In 2006, they published a book called Debunking 9-11 Myths, in which the authors purport to have refuted all the major claims against the official version by the 9-11 truth movement.

00:34:03.660 Jim Miggs is the editor of Popular Mechanics magazine.

00:34:07.520 In 2005, he and a staff of reporters decided to take on the factual and scientific claims made by members of the 9-11 conspiracy movement.

00:34:17.900 The results were first published in a magazine article, then more fully developed in a...

00:34:22.560 So as you guys can see, man, you know, for several, damn near over two decades, they've been going back and forth with this, you know, between conspiracy theorists and debunkers, back and forth with, was it an inside job?

00:34:35.140 Was it not?

00:34:35.700 Was it a pretext to get into war with Afghanistan and Iraq?

00:34:39.060 And they've just been going back and forth for a very long time, man.

00:34:41.740 I remember the first conspiracy video that came out on this was a documentary back in the day called Lose Change.

00:34:47.920 Show my age with that one.

00:34:48.800 So I'll pull that one up here to show you guys, but let's keep going.

00:34:53.160 Book titled Debunking 9-11 Myths, Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts.

00:34:59.980 I think what Popular Mechanics did with the 9-11 conspiracy theory was just about one of the best things ever done in the history of skepticism.

00:35:07.340 That is exactly how it should be done.

00:35:09.340 Here's the claim.

00:35:10.120 Here's the answer.

00:35:10.800 Here's the claim.

00:35:11.500 Here's the answer.

00:35:12.100 By the end, they got nothing to stand on.

00:35:14.540 Boom.

00:35:14.860 End of story.

00:35:16.280 But is it really so?

00:35:18.800 All right.

00:35:21.020 So see, they're basically drawing the two catastrophic events.

00:35:27.840 So you guys can see here.

00:35:29.020 Here's Lose Change.

00:35:29.740 This came out.

00:35:31.260 A series of films released between 2005 and 2009 that argue in favor of certain conspiracy theories related to the 9th of September 11th attacks.

00:35:37.000 The films were written and directed by Dylan Avery and produced by Corey Rowe, Jason Bermas, and Matthew Brown.

00:35:41.540 The original 2005 film was edited and re-released as Lose Change 2, second edition, a third time for the second edition, recut 2006, and then subsequently edited for a fourth time for the HD remastered edition 2017.

00:35:52.560 Lose Change Final Cut deemed the third and final release of this documentary series was released on DVD and web stream format in November 11th, 2017.

00:35:59.740 Which they're going to cover.

00:36:02.740 A lot of the points in this is also covered in this documentary here.

00:36:07.240 This one is very extensive, guys.

00:36:09.100 The new Pearl Harbor.

00:36:10.360 So basically, where are we right now?

00:36:13.620 Basically, guys, if you're just joining in.

00:36:15.380 Thank you.

00:36:16.200 You can be anywhere else.

00:36:17.300 Like the video.

00:36:17.920 We went over the similar parallels between Pearl Harbor, right?

00:36:22.680 December 7th, 1941 versus the September 11th, 2001 attacks.

00:36:27.020 Why it was done to, you know, stimulate war for maybe other reasons.

00:36:31.440 So let's get into it.

00:36:32.640 And they're going to start going into some of the arguments against the official narrative as to the attacks.

00:36:39.020 The debate on September 11th can...

00:36:45.140 Okay, so guys, focus on this because this right here is going to outline, okay, the entire documentary, okay?

00:36:52.680 And what I'll do is when we break this up into parts, I'll start it at a certain section so that we have one section completely covered, okay?

00:37:00.680 But let's go ahead and get into the main things.

00:37:03.500 Roughly be divided into these areas of discussion.

00:37:05.920 We have the four hijackings as the overarching event of the day, and we have the three different locations that were hit by the four airplanes.

00:37:13.140 So, bam, part one, four hijackings, the three locations, which they're going to go into detail on each one.

00:37:20.100 One of them hit the Pentagon.

00:37:21.660 Another crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

00:37:23.880 The other two hit the Twin Towers in New York.

00:37:27.280 The debate on the hijackings is divided in three parts.

00:37:30.340 The first one focuses on the air defense and whether the failure to intercept the hijacked airplanes was accidental or intentional.

00:37:37.660 The second focuses on the hijackers and whether they were actually aboard the airplanes or just the usual patsies.

00:37:43.540 The third part focuses on the aircraft themselves and whether the four airplanes used in the attacks were the same ones that took off from the airports that morning or were something that only resembled them from the outside.

00:37:54.680 What initially raised suspicions on the true role of the military on September 11 is the fact that the U.S. air defense, which is arguably the most advanced and sophisticated in the world, was unable to intercept even one of the four hijacked airplanes in the course of over one and a half hours.

00:38:13.080 I remember thinking, where on earth are the interceptors?

00:38:18.040 I'm an old interceptor pilot.

00:38:20.160 And it's absolutely unbelievable that hijacked airliners could fly around for an hour and 40 minutes without being intercepted.

00:38:31.620 As a former minister of national defense, why did airplanes fly around for an hour and a half without interceptors being scrambled?

00:38:39.080 We'll take them, you know, with a quick reaction alert.

00:38:41.660 They should have been in the air in five minutes or 10 minutes.

00:38:44.040 If not, as a minister of national defense, which I would want to say, why not?

00:38:49.740 This astonishing failure to respond was remarked by Senator Mark Dayton in the post 9-11 congressional hearings.

00:38:55.880 But what I find much more shocking and alarming were the repeated and catastrophic failures of the leaders in charge and the other people responsible to do their jobs, to follow established procedures, to follow direct orders from civilian and military commanders.

00:39:11.480 The official justification for this failure is a series of...

00:39:15.180 And I like how they go back and forth.

00:39:16.760 You guys are going to notice this trend in the documentaries.

00:39:21.120 What they'll do is they'll talk about what the debunkers explain as to why something may have not occurred.

00:39:26.440 If they weren't aware, why it was strange.

00:39:28.200 And then they'll go ahead and make an argument against it, which is, you know, it's great content, you know.

00:39:33.200 So let's get into it.

00:39:34.940 Blunders, miscommunications and mistakes that has come to be known as the incompetence theory.

00:39:39.840 On that day, you saw a lot of well-meaning, confused people struggling to make sense of a terrible situation.

00:39:45.160 They didn't even know where the planes were.

00:39:46.520 One argument for the incompetence theory is that the air defense was conceived to protect the U.S. from external threats, not internal ones.

00:39:54.080 The fact is that our air defenses, the whole NORAD system, was not at all geared towards protecting us from domestic aircraft.

00:40:05.060 Quite the contrary.

00:40:06.120 It was all set up to detect aircraft coming in from overseas.

00:40:09.840 Predisposta per difendersi da attacchi provenienti dall'esterno.

00:40:13.160 L'America era come se fosse un castello con un fossato.

00:40:16.760 Questi hanno usato una catapulta per entrare saltando il fossato e si sono provato all'interno, nel ventre e mori all'America, e l'hanno potuta esforzare.

00:40:24.740 What the debunkers forget to mention is that the responsibility for tracking internal hijacks has never fallen on the military to begin with.

00:40:32.460 This has always been the duty of the civil air traffic controllers, the FAA, as explained by the Secretary of Defense himself.

00:40:39.220 So the Department of Defense was oriented externally.

00:40:42.400 Our radars were pointing out, not in.

00:40:44.680 And the FAA was the one that then had the responsibility to say there's a hijack.

00:40:51.360 Only then, explains author and researcher Nafiz Ahmed, is the military requested for assistance in scrambling their jets.

00:40:58.400 Standard operating procedures dictate that as soon as a plane flies off course, the FAA will contact the plane and try to ask them what is going on.

00:41:08.040 If there is a problem or if they cannot establish radio contact, then immediately the FAA will contact the Pentagon,

00:41:16.320 who will, within a matter of minutes, a maximum of 10 minutes normally, will scramble fighter jets to intercept the civilian plane and to analyse the situation and see what is going on.

00:41:27.120 The FAA authority over the national airspace is clearly acknowledged in this exchange between the military from September 11th.

00:41:33.820 If you can, hand the fighters over directly to FAA so that they're still under FAA control.

00:41:38.400 We're never going to take them.

00:41:39.400 Just work with them, coordinate with them as best that you can with that.

00:41:42.340 Take them to the area and let them handle that airspace.

00:41:45.920 Another argument for the incompetence theory is that by turning off the transponders,

00:41:50.140 the hijackers had made the airplanes very difficult to be tracked on radar.

00:41:54.300 That can't be overstated.

00:41:55.400 The fact that once the hijackers turned off the transponders, you had air traffic control

00:42:01.360 who were looking at something like 4,500 primary radar blips.

00:42:04.920 They were trying to pick out the plane that they just lost.

00:42:07.180 But they didn't know where to go, because the terrorists disattivated a dispositif called Transponder,

00:42:13.140 which localizes the aeroplane.

00:42:15.020 Spent of that, poof, sparisce the puntino.

00:42:18.040 And where was?

00:42:18.540 No, it's not where we were.

00:42:19.100 This is not true.

00:42:20.940 When the transponder is turned off, the controllers lose the information on the altitude,

00:42:24.900 but they can still track the plane as a primary signal.

00:42:28.580 The following example shows how long it took an air traffic controller to find American 11 on his screen

00:42:34.460 after he was told the plane had been hijacked.

00:42:36.860 Good morning, Boston.

00:42:38.300 I've got a situation here with American 11. 0.69

00:42:40.900 We believe it's a possible hijack.

00:42:45.260 Okay, tell me more.

00:42:46.400 We lost radio communications with him.

00:42:48.780 Then we lost his transponder.

00:42:52.460 And right now the aircraft is just west of Albany going southbound.

00:42:57.000 So they were able to actually find him despite the fact that the transponder was off.

00:43:08.620 So that's a very important distinction there.

00:43:10.440 Transponder off.

00:43:11.300 It just switched codes.

00:43:12.860 United 175 is 50 miles northwest of New York City when its transponder code is suddenly changed.

00:43:20.020 As I look up, I notice that United 175's code has changed.

00:43:24.740 I just turned around and radioed the pilot.

00:43:28.200 My exact words were United 175, recycle transponder squawk.

00:43:33.260 Hijacker Al Shea obviously intended to turn off that transponder,

00:43:37.480 but because he just changed codes and didn't turn it off,

00:43:39.680 he still left the controllers with a very clear indication of the normal return from an aircraft that was squawking,

00:43:45.700 that's what we call it, with the altitude.

00:43:48.600 According to the Secret Service, the plane that hit the Pentagon

00:43:51.520 was tracked for at least 30 minutes before it reached Washington.

00:43:54.740 Nelson Garabito was the Secret Service agent in charge of protecting the White House airspace.

00:44:02.260 First thing I did is I picked up the phone to call my contact, the FAA.

00:44:07.000 He said we have four planes outstanding.

00:44:09.900 Two have hit the towers and two are headed to Washington, New State.

00:44:13.740 One of them approximately 30 minutes out, one of them approximately 45 minutes out.

00:44:17.640 The one 30 minutes out turned out to be the plane that hit the Pentagon.

00:44:21.600 As the one nearest us, it got closer and closer, six minutes out, five minutes out.

00:44:26.820 We knew it was sort of over the CIA and we thought, is that where it's going?

00:44:31.040 But it kept coming.

00:44:33.880 United 93 was also being tracked after the hijacking.

00:44:37.480 We were tracking United 93 and I was in conversation with the FBI agent and he was relaying to me that

00:44:44.320 we suspect that this aircraft has now been taken over by hostile forces.

00:44:48.840 Described the sharp turn it made over eastern Ohio and now is heading back along southwestern Pennsylvania.

00:44:55.280 The airplane was being followed step by step, practically in real time.

00:44:59.180 Right now, he is west of Johnstown still, 12 miles.

00:45:03.480 At some point, it even turned the transponder back on, showing not only its position, but also the altitude.

00:45:09.620 It looks like he's still turning.

00:45:11.200 Hey, his transponder just came back on and it was showing 8,000 feet, 200.

00:45:15.500 8,200 feet.

00:45:16.680 8,200 feet and he's on the same code that he was before.

00:45:20.660 Save for some moments of confusion, the four airplanes were being tracked by air traffic controllers all along.

00:45:26.640 The real reason for the failure to intercept the four aircraft seems to have been the high number of military exercises that were being run by NORAD on September 11th out of their base in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.

00:45:40.420 All right, this is where things get a little interesting, guys, so pay attention here.

00:45:43.500 As Webster Tarpley noted in his book 9-11, Synthetic Terror, staff exercises or command exercises are perfect for a rogue network, which is forced to conduct its operations using the same communications and computer systems used by other officers who are not necessarily party to the illegal operation.

00:46:02.280 Interestingly enough, on the evening of September 10th, the security level for the NORAD computer system, called Infocon, had been dropped to normal, the lowest level.

00:46:12.240 This made it easier for anyone to penetrate or compromise the computer.

00:46:15.420 So basically, guys, what they're trying to say there is they're operating almost in the open, but there's plausible deniability for a majority of people and there's a minority that might know what is actually going on here.

00:46:26.580 You know, are they, you know, that's potentially what they're inferring.

00:46:30.000 Computer networks of the air defense system.

00:46:33.300 On September 11th, between 4 and 10 military exercises had been scheduled, some of them involving false hijacks of commercial airplanes.

00:46:42.380 This unusual number of exercises had two major consequences.

00:46:47.000 One, they moved a large number of fighters out to Canada and Alaska.

00:46:51.860 Two, they created a major confusion in the system as soon as the real hijackings were reported.

00:46:57.120 We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there to help us out.

00:47:06.500 Is this real world or exercise?

00:47:08.200 No, this is not an exercise, my guess.

00:47:10.420 The process of authorization for scrambles was lengthy and complicated.

00:47:14.180 Hey, we just, I just talked to Otis here, and they said they needed me as authorization.

00:47:19.500 Confusion and pressure kept mounting.

00:47:21.260 I don't know where I'm scrambling these guys to.

00:47:23.200 I need a direction, a destination.

00:47:26.780 At times, communications were jammed.

00:47:29.140 If you could do me a favor and have them call us, we cannot call out for some reason.

00:47:32.720 Some in the military quickly realized the simulations were causing a problem.

00:47:36.740 You know what, get rid of this goddamn sim. 0.94

00:47:38.260 Hey, turn the sim switches off.

00:47:40.040 Get rid of that crap.

00:47:41.600 I hope they cancel the exercise because this is ridiculous.

00:47:44.660 But they were not canceled.

00:47:45.740 Even after both towers in New York had been hit, when everyone knew America was under attack, the war games continued.

00:47:52.960 You guys watching the news?

00:47:54.320 Yeah.

00:47:54.880 I wasn't sure.

00:47:55.700 I've been watching it for about 10 minutes.

00:47:57.260 They could spend the exercise here?

00:47:58.860 Not at this time, no.

00:48:00.360 Apparently, someone took advantage of the situation.

00:48:03.060 While the plane headed for the Pentagon was quickly approaching from the west, an unknown source, which was never identified, reported that American 11 was headed towards the Capitol,

00:48:11.640 even though the plane had already crashed into the North Tower.

00:48:14.600 I just had a report that American 11 is still in the air, and it's heading towards Washington.

00:48:19.460 That's wild.

00:48:20.240 American 11 is still in the air.

00:48:21.340 This attracted all the attention towards the so-called Phantom plane.

00:48:24.960 He's still airborne.

00:48:25.820 He's still a hijack out there, but we can't get a position on him. 1.00

00:48:28.700 The jets from Langley were prepared to intercept it.

00:48:31.640 I don't know if they might want to wear some aircraft down there, though, too.

00:48:34.040 We have Langley on battle stations right now.

00:48:35.980 Okay.

00:48:36.300 Then they were scrambled straight for Washington.

00:48:38.440 Foxy, scramble Langley.

00:48:40.140 Have a course of Washington area.

00:48:41.600 But a different command post called Giant Killer.

00:48:44.600 Sent the fighters out to the ocean.

00:48:46.520 Say again, what do you want them?

00:48:47.840 We want them in the Whiskey 386 area.

00:48:50.000 This didn't sit well with the operations center.

00:48:52.480 Friggin' Giant Killer and their wisdom sent them out over the water.

00:48:54.800 Well, we scrambled them to Washington.

00:48:56.240 By the time the plane headed for the Pentagon was circling the Capitol, it was too late for the Langley jets to intercept it.

00:49:02.340 Even after the Pentagon was hit, the war games were not suspended.

00:49:08.800 And again, while United 93 was being hijacked, another false alarm attracted the attention in the opposite direction.

00:49:16.260 Uh, did you get the word?

00:49:17.400 I got a Delta 8-9 or south-southeast of Toledo.

00:49:20.580 Delta 8-9, that's the hijack.

00:49:22.160 They think it's possible hijack.

00:49:23.160 Fuck.

00:49:23.480 South of Cleveland, we have a coat on them now.

00:49:25.540 Good.

00:49:25.840 Pick it up.

00:49:26.500 Find it.

00:49:27.340 Fuck, another one.

00:49:28.340 Major Nazipany turned to Toledo Air Force Base.

00:49:30.940 I'm sorry to be so brief and quick on this, but there's another possible hijack to about 50 miles east of Toledo.

00:49:36.540 And you guys are the closest.

00:49:38.100 And we need somebody airborne.

00:49:39.860 But instead of getting help, his authority was questioned.

00:49:42.500 What authority is this coming from?

00:49:45.000 Sir, what authority is this coming from?

00:49:48.420 The DO, is the best I can tell you.

00:49:50.840 Nazipany vented his frustration to his superior, Colonel Marr.

00:49:54.500 He's going to tell his commander, the commander's going to call you.

00:49:57.480 He doesn't believe the authority.

00:49:58.780 Then they tried Duluth Air Force Base.

00:50:00.820 What about Duluth?

00:50:01.300 Okay, Duluth.

00:50:02.000 You got no fighters.

00:50:02.820 Nazipany went all the way to the western quadrant looking for help.

00:50:06.180 Assistant Major Kenny, who is this?

00:50:08.100 Hey, Kenny.

00:50:09.480 It's nasty.

00:50:10.280 How you doing?

00:50:11.160 Hey, doing all right.

00:50:12.640 Hey, we're not doing so good right now.

00:50:14.320 What I'd like to do, possibly steal some aircraft out of Fargo from you guys.

00:50:19.340 But here, too, there were no planes ready for scramble.

00:50:22.380 We're going to get two aircrafts up in about 15 minutes.

00:50:24.520 They tried Syracuse, but 20 minutes was the best they could do.

00:50:29.280 Syracuse 2 airborne in 20 minutes.

00:50:31.420 They tried Alpina, but planes were just returning from their training.

00:50:35.320 The Alpina thing isn't what we thought.

00:50:37.200 There's four guys coming home from the range right now.

00:50:39.820 They started looking for planes that were already up in the air for exercises.

00:50:43.620 Anybody in training send them home?

00:50:45.420 Do you know how many Russians and Falcons send them home? 0.99

00:50:47.100 But those planes were spent at that point.

00:50:49.520 We've got no weapons here.

00:50:50.420 They just go around and straight and run up to the range.

00:50:52.600 They blew all the roads.

00:50:53.640 By the time refueled and armed jets were finally scrambled,

00:50:56.920 the Delta flight turned out to be another false alarm.

00:50:59.620 He was a hijacked aircraft.

00:51:00.620 God damn, bro.

00:51:01.760 This is, this is a L.

00:51:04.460 I'm trying not to answer up too much so that you guys can get the full picture here.

00:51:06.900 So let's keep going.

00:51:07.980 Not a hijacked aircraft.

00:51:09.520 He's taking precautionary measures and he's landing at Cleveland Center.

00:51:12.540 Only after the Delta flight had landed were the war games finally suspended.

00:51:16.880 Hello, this is our captain here on the giant mountain special.

00:51:19.520 Yes.

00:51:20.220 What we need to do right now is to terminate all exercise inputs coming into giant mountain.

00:51:24.900 By then, also the fourth hijacked airplane had been turned into a pile of smoking rubble.

00:51:33.340 Yet, General Meyer...

00:51:34.480 Holy!

00:51:36.860 Yeah.

00:51:37.300 I didn't want to comment too much there so that I don't, you know, mess up the flow of the information that was conveyed.

00:51:44.400 But long story short, man, they were doing a bunch of training on the worst day to be doing training, man.

00:51:49.060 They weren't able to scramble in time.

00:51:50.300 By the time they actually got their shit together, everything was already done.

00:51:53.760 As you guys know, the planes crashed, you know, early, early around late 8 p.m.-ish, early 9 a.m.-ish,

00:52:00.800 when the planes were hitting the towers, et cetera.

00:52:03.300 So by the time they got their shit together, about an hour later, too late, man.

00:52:06.880 So L, definitely L there.

00:52:10.640 Communication was not good there.

00:52:12.340 Not at all.

00:52:13.020 They should have had, like, backup, like, for emergencies.

00:52:15.400 Yeah, that was, yeah, they had more focus on training.

00:52:19.560 ...who was the highest military authority on September 11th, has denied that the war games affected the military capacity of response.

00:52:26.860 And the question was whether or not the activities of the four war games going on on September 11th actually impaired our ability to respond to the attacks.

00:52:40.920 The answer to the question is no, did not impair our response.

00:52:43.960 General Myers forgot to mention that on the morning of September 11th, only four planes were armed and ready to intercept terrorists in the eastern region of the country.

00:52:53.180 I've determined, of course, that with only four aircraft, we cannot defend the whole northeastern United States.

00:52:58.240 That was the sensation of frustration.

00:53:00.360 Of, I don't have the forces available to do anything about this.

00:53:06.400 Myers instead has even suggested that the war games helped the military response.

00:53:11.200 General Eberhardt, who was in the commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command, as he testified in front of the 9-11 Commission, I believe he told them that it enhanced our ability to respond.

00:53:20.540 What that means is all the battle positions that are normally not filled are indeed filled, so it was an easy transition from an exercise into a real-world situation.

00:53:31.200 Again, Myers forgot to mention that the transition took place only after all tragic events had ended, around 11 o'clock.

00:53:38.860 By 11 o'clock, the sense of alarm had spread across the country, fighter jets actually patrolling the skies.

00:53:44.980 It was a war zone.

00:53:45.740 Our skies were turning to a war zone. Everywhere you turn, it was military jets and helicopters everywhere.

00:53:51.640 George Bush returned to Washington on the evening of September 11.

00:53:54.920 The president finally returns to Washington.

00:53:58.460 An escort of six helicopters was waiting for him.

00:54:02.280 300 fighters were defending the skies.

00:54:05.500 Had there been 300 fighters ready to defend the skies on the morning of September 11, would the terrorist attacks have turned out the same way?

00:54:13.420 Probably not. That's a big...

00:54:15.480 Nope.

00:54:15.900 This leads us straight...

00:54:16.740 So now we're going to get into air defense specific warnings.

00:54:20.040 ...into a pivotal question.

00:54:21.600 Was the choice of scheduling so many exercises in the same day just a misfortunate call, or was it intentional?

00:54:28.740 To answer this question, we need to take a closer look at some of the warnings the U.S. had received in the months prior to September 11.

00:54:35.300 By the spring of 2001, the system was blinking red, according to intelligence chiefs.

00:54:41.980 The U.S. administration has always maintained that they knew the attacks were on their way, but they didn't have specific information on them.

00:54:48.680 I knew there was another attack planning. I knew there was another attack coming.

00:54:52.820 And the obvious question behind that is, well, why didn't you do something about it?

00:54:58.080 We had no specific information.

00:55:00.500 It was not specific as to time, nor place, nor manner of attack.

00:55:03.980 And if you guys remember, we talked about this on the CIA episode that I did with you guys.

00:55:11.060 They kept telling that analyst, who I showed you earlier, when she was warning them about bin Laden, they didn't have anything like that somewhat specific.

00:55:18.140 I mean, the day, time, etc.

00:55:20.000 It's hard to predict these things, so that's, you know, of course that's going to be their excuse.

00:55:27.640 No specific threat involving really domestic operation or involving what happened, obviously, the city's airliner and so forth.

00:55:36.080 There were no warning signs that I'm aware of that would indicate this type of operation in the country.

00:55:44.100 All these statements are false.

00:55:45.700 A joint congressional inquiry on September 11 has revealed that, in spring and summer of 2001, there had been a flood of warnings about possible terrorist attacks in the United States, some using airplanes as weapons.

00:55:59.060 In fact, as reported by the New York Times, American aviation officials were warned as early as 1998 that Al-Qaeda could seek to hijack a commercial jet and slam it into a U.S. landmark.

00:56:09.900 The London Times has revealed that the British MI-6 warned the American intelligence services about a plot to hijack aircraft and crash them into buildings two years before the September 11 attacks.

00:56:22.680 Russian President Vladimir Putin has said publicly...

00:56:25.360 Even Putin, who hates the United States, had to give some info out.

00:56:30.340 ...that he ordered his intelligence agencies to alert the United States last summer in 2001 that suicide pilots were training for attacks on U.S. targets.

00:56:40.500 German intelligence alerted the CIA in June 2001 that Middle Eastern terrorists were training for hijackings.

00:56:47.540 The Sunday Herald has confirmed that Britain gave President Bush a categorical warning to expect multiple airline hijackings one month before the September 11 attacks.

00:56:57.300 Then there was the infamous August 6th memo.

00:57:01.340 President Bush was...

00:57:02.400 And that was from the CIA, which we talked about earlier, guys.

00:57:05.080 You know, the CIA gave...

00:57:06.460 And I showed you guys this earlier.

00:57:07.620 Many warnings, man.

00:57:08.540 Watch that episode back.

00:57:09.760 I go into that a little bit more in detail.

00:57:11.220 But the CIA gave them a lot of warnings, too.

00:57:13.740 So you got foreign governments.

00:57:15.460 You got the CIA themselves telling, yo, Bin Laden is serious about attack.

00:57:20.400 Bin Laden is serious about attack.

00:57:22.000 Hijackings are coming. 1.00

00:57:23.100 They're going to do this.

00:57:23.860 They're going to do that.

00:57:24.540 And they didn't take action, man.

00:57:25.980 This is a big fucking L.

00:57:30.860 Told in August that Osama Bin Laden might be planning an attack involving the hijacking of U.S. aircraft.

00:57:37.400 It's titled, Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S.

00:57:41.200 CIA report from that girl that I showed you guys.

00:57:43.380 Again, cover this.

00:57:44.120 Go watch that episode in detail, man.

00:57:46.080 Break this all down if you guys want to learn more about how, you know, how the CIA notified the White House and the higher-ups several times.

00:57:54.160 The two-page memo states, FBI information indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country.

00:58:02.900 CIA information, actually, but let's keep going.

00:58:05.760 Consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks.

00:58:10.140 Maybe it's no coincidence that the FBI advised their own boss to stop flying commercial airliners as early as six weeks before 9-11.

00:58:18.620 Why is the only general of the United States doing all his air travel by a specially-chartered jet?

00:58:25.200 The Justice Department cited what it called a threat assessment by the FBI and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term.

00:58:35.640 At this point, we can pose the following question.

00:58:38.460 Knowing that the attacks were imminent, knowing that they might involve hijacked airliners, but not knowing where and when they could happen,

00:58:44.720 would have been a good reason to beef up the defense and keep even more jets than usual on alert all across the country.

00:58:50.900 Why instead schedule so many exercises in one day while leaving only four jets on alert to defend the very sector of the country that was most...

00:58:59.940 One thing I do like about this documentary is they ask some pretty good questions whenever there's intel gaps.

00:59:05.040 ...was likely to be attacked.

00:59:07.640 To bring even more confusion into the situation was a series of last-minute replacements and unexplained absences within the chain of command.

00:59:15.800 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was...

00:59:18.340 This is pretty interesting as well. And just so you guys know how the government operates, the government operates on a chain of command.

00:59:23.540 And what that basically means is, you know, you got lower-level people, then you go up in supervisors, then a good sense of the brass.

00:59:30.240 And pretty much, you know, information flows upward. You got to go through your chain of command.

00:59:33.900 So, like, when I was an agent, for example, I would go to my direct supervisor. If I had an issue, he would elevate it, and then it would keep going up.

00:59:39.600 You can't jump the chain of command. That's a big issue.

00:59:41.480 So, if I went to, like, my assistant special agent in charge instead of my supervisor, right, without him being in the know, that could be a problem.

00:59:48.140 You always got to deal with the chain of command so that you guys kind of understand where I'm about to go here.

00:59:53.020 You know, I mean, this works, obviously, in the private sector as well. It's the same way.

00:59:57.400 But in the government, it's even more pronounced, especially when it comes to the military.

01:00:00.460 Chain of command is very big.

01:00:01.620 Henry Shelton, but on September 11, he was absent, and his post was taken by his deputy, General Richard B. Myers.

01:00:09.820 The FAA's National Operations Manager was Ben Sliney.

01:00:13.240 On the morning of September 11, Sliney had been on that job for less than one day.

01:00:17.900 The protocols required for Mr. Sliney to speak directly with the hijack coordinator, Lieutenant General Mike Canavan.

01:00:24.500 But Canavan, on that day, was in Puerto Rico, and apparently he had forgotten to designate a replacement.

01:00:29.800 In regards to the ensuing confusion, Mr. Sliney has stated, that's incredible.

01:00:34.920 And that's an L, guys.

01:00:36.600 Anytime you're, like, not available, you have to always get something called an acting, okay?

01:00:41.740 So when I was an agent, right, for example, and you had the group supervisor, well, you needed someone there to, like, kind of be the supervisor in case the main supervisor wasn't there.

01:00:51.000 So it would be called, I'm the acting GS, and sometimes they would act for a day, sometimes they would act for months on end.

01:00:55.920 But before they get the, you know, the full-time position, they actually get it officially.

01:01:00.640 So whenever you're not there and you have a position of authority or supervision, you're responsible for finding someone to be the acting, okay?

01:01:08.780 So in this case, the fact that he didn't have someone acting in his capacity while he was gone is very stupid and questionable.

01:01:15.740 Especially someone that's high-ranking like that.

01:01:19.080 Only one person.

01:01:20.340 There must be someone designated or someone who will assume the responsibility of issuing an order.

01:01:26.640 At the head of the National Command Center was General Montague Winfield.

01:01:30.880 But on the evening of September 10th, Winfield instructed Captain Charles Leydig to take his place on the following morning.

01:01:37.540 Leydig had been just recently certified for that post and was also on his first day on the job.

01:01:43.040 At the Operation Command of NEADS was Colonel Marr.

01:01:47.280 When Marr called his superior, General Arnold, to get authorization to scramble the jets from Otis,

01:01:52.640 he was told that Arnold was in a meeting where he could not be reached by telephone.

01:01:57.140 Marr had to physically send a messenger looking for him.

01:02:00.180 Precious minutes were lost as Marr waited for Arnold to return his call.

01:02:04.200 And when the fighters were finally scrambled, it was too late for them to intercept American 11th.

01:02:08.940 The top commander in charge of NORAD was General Ralph Eberhard,

01:02:13.560 who was stationed at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.

01:02:16.940 Eberhard told the 9-11 Commission that he was made aware of the first hijacking

01:02:21.240 practically at the same time American 11 slammed into the North Tower.

01:02:25.640 He then went to his office and saw the CNN broadcast of the World Trade Center explosion.

01:02:30.640 After the second impact, writes the Commission,

01:02:32.740 it was obvious to Eberhard that there was an ongoing and coordinated terrorist attack.

01:02:38.820 At that point, Eberhard called General Myers to update him on the situation.

01:02:42.800 But even though both generals knew the country was being attacked by hijacked airplanes,

01:02:47.240 neither of them suggested suspending the war games

01:02:49.840 and recalling all the fighters available as soon as possible.

01:02:54.220 And furthermore, instead of getting on the phone and taking control of the situation,

01:02:58.300 in the most crucial moment of the day, General Eberhard chose to get in his car

01:03:02.520 and drive from the Peterson Base to Cheyenne Mountain.

01:03:06.000 The 30-minute drive put him completely out of the loop,

01:03:09.100 since Eberhard couldn't receive telephone calls, wrote the Denver Post,

01:03:13.280 as senior officials weighed how to respond.

01:03:16.560 General Eberhard was also the person responsible for lowering the security level

01:03:20.460 of the defense computer system on the evening of September 10th.

01:03:24.240 Aw, shit.

01:03:25.600 Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

01:03:26.840 And then there was Donald Rumsfeld.

01:03:29.160 As stated by the 9-11 Commission,

01:03:31.140 procedures called for the hijacked coordinator on duty

01:03:33.800 to contact the National Military Command Center

01:03:36.600 and to ask for a military escort aircraft to follow the flight.

01:03:41.060 The NMCC would then seek approval from the Office of the Secretary of Defense

01:03:45.500 to provide military assistance.

01:03:47.720 If approval was given, the order would be transmitted down NORAD's chain of command.

01:03:52.520 But this kind of procedure becomes difficult to follow

01:03:55.140 when the hijacked coordinator...

01:03:56.800 See, now you guys can see the whole chain of command here

01:03:58.660 and how it's supposed to go.

01:04:01.520 ...is in Puerto Rico.

01:04:02.560 No one knows who the replacement is.

01:04:04.760 The military command is in the hands of a total rookie,

01:04:07.700 and the Secretary of Defense is nowhere to be found.

01:04:11.180 Donald Rumsfeld told CNN...

01:04:13.020 Not to mention that guy from the FAA.

01:04:14.600 It was like his first day on the job.

01:04:15.820 So literally L all around, man.

01:04:20.440 ...that he was informed of the Trade Center being hit some 15 minutes

01:04:24.420 before the Pentagon was hit.

01:04:26.440 This places the episode around 9.22 in the morning.

01:04:30.020 And after the Pentagon was hit,

01:04:31.800 rather than go to the command center and take charge of the situation,

01:04:35.140 the Secretary of Defense chose to lend a helping hand on the Pentagon's lawn.

01:04:38.760 It's almost as if Rumsfeld didn't feel the need to be informed

01:04:43.260 about what was happening to his country under attack.

01:04:45.880 The Secretary of Defense is outside the burning building,

01:04:49.340 while inside the Pentagon.

01:04:51.480 For 30 minutes, we couldn't find him.

01:04:54.900 And just as we began to worry,

01:04:56.720 he walked into the door of the National Military Command Center.

01:04:59.080 By the time Rumsfeld walked into that door,

01:05:01.480 all major events had ended.

01:05:03.660 In fact, Rumsfeld told...

01:05:05.040 Holy man.

01:05:06.500 ...the 9-11 Commission that...

01:05:07.820 Once again, late.

01:05:08.900 ...to the situation,

01:05:10.100 just like the people before that finally finished scrambling the jets,

01:05:13.680 the fighter jets,

01:05:14.720 at 10 a.m. when everything, all the damages had been done.

01:05:17.340 He was just gaining situational awareness

01:05:19.380 when he spoke with the Vice President at 10.39.

01:05:22.640 That's more than one and a half hours

01:05:24.320 after the whole world knew that America was under attack.

01:05:28.040 Why would so many rookies be placed in key positions?

01:05:31.300 And why would so many top officials be either absent or unavailable

01:05:34.640 on a day when so many exercises were scheduled

01:05:37.140 is a question that remains to be answered?

01:05:41.760 Question.

01:05:43.020 After having realized that the country was being attacked

01:05:45.480 by hijacked airplanes at 9.03,

01:05:47.920 why didn't Eberhard immediately suspend all the war games

01:05:50.980 and recall all the available jets to their bases?

01:05:54.360 Why didn't Myers order him to do so

01:05:56.620 after having been briefed by Eberhard on the ongoing attack?

01:05:59.660 And why hasn't the 9-11 Commission ever asked either general

01:06:03.500 these most fundamental questions?

01:06:06.280 The final argument against the incompetence theory

01:06:10.500 is offered by researcher Nafiz Ahmed.

01:06:12.940 If we try to explain it by using the incompetence theory,

01:06:17.280 it doesn't make sense.

01:06:18.280 For example, if it was incompetence,

01:06:20.800 we would expect that there would have been a normal inquiry

01:06:23.360 into what went wrong.

01:06:24.580 We would have expected that there would be some kind of reprimands,

01:06:27.520 that certain officials would be downgraded

01:06:30.400 or they would lose their jobs

01:06:31.820 or something would have happened to correct the situation.

01:06:35.060 But we find that there has been no such reprimands at all.

01:06:38.060 Not only that didn't happen, but the opposite took place.

01:06:41.220 After 9-11, most of the high-ranking people involved

01:06:43.800 in this catastrophic failure were either confirmed to their posts

01:06:46.940 or promoted to higher levels.

01:06:49.660 Condoleezza.

01:06:50.180 I do want to say this real fast.

01:06:51.880 It's common in the government to reward incompetence, guys.

01:06:54.940 Like, I can't tell you how many agents I know

01:06:56.960 that didn't do shit in their career,

01:06:58.660 smoke in mirrors, didn't make no cases,

01:07:01.340 didn't arrest nobody, didn't have no stats,

01:07:03.360 didn't seize nothing,

01:07:04.840 and still were able to make supervisor

01:07:06.420 or get promoted off of kissing ass, 0.75

01:07:10.260 you know, brown-nosing, doing all this stupid shit. 0.82

01:07:13.800 Anything but actually doing work.

01:07:15.760 When it comes to government, a lot of times, man,

01:07:17.360 it's not what you know, guys, it's who you know.

01:07:19.000 And that's with any type of endeavor and or profession.

01:07:21.840 Now, am I saying that all these guys,

01:07:23.180 brown-nose their way to getting promoted?

01:07:26.260 No, but I do want to let y'all know

01:07:28.140 that the government, a lot of the times,

01:07:30.600 is not based on meritocracy.

01:07:32.240 It's based on how long have you been in

01:07:33.840 and who do you know.

01:07:35.580 Seniority is the main thing 0.81

01:07:37.740 when it comes to government work, guys,

01:07:39.420 which kind of sucks,

01:07:40.220 but that is why so many government employees

01:07:42.340 are known for being fucking lazy and useless. 0.93

01:07:44.560 I'll be honest with y'all.

01:07:46.100 Okay, coming from a former government employee himself,

01:07:48.320 when I would do my case and everything,

01:07:49.880 sometimes it was pulling teeth to rally the troops

01:07:51.540 to go ahead and, you know,

01:07:52.780 get excited about doing late-night surveillance.

01:07:54.460 Hell, right now, it's 4.40 in the morning.

01:07:56.460 I haven't slept yet.

01:07:57.080 I'm half asleep.

01:07:58.060 But, hey, we got to make shit happen, baby.

01:08:00.260 Fuck your feelings.

01:08:01.380 But in the government, it's like,

01:08:02.480 ah, it's 4 p.m.

01:08:04.320 I'm out.

01:08:05.160 It's 3 p.m.

01:08:05.700 I'm out.

01:08:06.300 You know, they don't even want to stay till 5.

01:08:07.620 So, not giving these guys an out,

01:08:10.340 but it's not uncommon for useless people

01:08:12.760 to get promoted in the government, guys.

01:08:13.960 It's just the way it is.

01:08:15.440 Rice, who had misrepresented the information

01:08:17.740 the government had on the attacks

01:08:19.160 in a sworn testimony,

01:08:20.540 kept her post as National Security Advisor

01:08:22.640 and went on to become Secretary of State

01:08:24.800 in the following Bush administration.

01:08:27.040 General Eberhard, the NORAD commander

01:08:28.940 who didn't think of recalling the war games

01:08:30.780 as soon as he knew his country was under attack,

01:08:33.020 was chosen to lead the newly created

01:08:34.740 U.S. Northern Command,

01:08:36.260 which the Department of Defense has termed

01:08:38.080 the nation's premier military homeland

01:08:40.340 defense organization.

01:08:42.440 Donald Rumsfeld,

01:08:43.380 who acted more like an estranged passerby

01:08:45.520 than the Secretary of Defense,

01:08:47.260 kept his post at the Pentagon

01:08:48.560 and began enjoying the largest increase

01:08:50.720 in military spending after the Vietnam War.

01:08:54.020 Because obviously we had, you know,

01:08:55.680 we were turning and burning going after Iraq. 0.91

01:08:58.500 Richard B. Myers,

01:08:59.980 despite the total breakdown under his leadership,

01:09:02.520 was promoted to chairman

01:09:03.660 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

01:09:05.500 the highest military post in the country.

01:09:08.460 On September 13,

01:09:10.040 confirmation hearings were held for General Myers,

01:09:12.580 as if nothing ever happened,

01:09:14.000 while people were still being pulled alive

01:09:16.000 from the rubble at Ground Zero.

01:09:22.000 While at the Pentagon,

01:09:23.380 the military appeared completely aloof

01:09:25.260 from the events unfolding.

01:09:26.580 At the White House,

01:09:27.400 the coordination activities

01:09:28.620 seemed to be concentrating

01:09:29.620 under the firm authority

01:09:30.880 of Vice President Cheney.

01:09:33.060 In fact,

01:09:33.940 the so-called NORAD tapes

01:09:35.560 have revealed that the White House

01:09:37.060 had ground-to-air missiles of their own.

01:09:39.600 Hello there, Washington Approach.

01:09:41.220 All right.

01:09:41.600 Make sure that the center

01:09:43.100 does not have anything above our airspace also.

01:09:45.780 The Secret Service is going to start shooting

01:09:47.820 at anything in the air.

01:09:49.240 Then I just got a call from Washington.

01:09:51.380 They said that if there's anything

01:09:53.100 above their airspace,

01:09:54.420 the Secret Service is going to free fire.

01:09:56.560 This exchange,

01:09:57.500 which took place around 10 a.m.,

01:09:59.300 sheds a whole new light

01:10:00.480 on one of the most controversial issues of 9-11.

01:10:03.620 The sworn testimony

01:10:04.760 by Secretary of Transportation,

01:10:06.660 Norman Mineta,

01:10:07.540 to the 9-11 Commission on May 2003.

01:10:11.020 This is very interesting stuff right here, guys.

01:10:13.000 Listen up.

01:10:14.540 Mineta was being questioned

01:10:15.800 about the events that took place

01:10:17.360 in the PIOC,

01:10:18.160 the underground bunker in the White House

01:10:19.920 from where Dick Cheney

01:10:21.040 took charge of the situation

01:10:22.420 after convincing President Bush

01:10:24.200 to stay away from Washington

01:10:25.440 for safety reasons.

01:10:27.180 Yeah, guys.

01:10:27.580 Anytime something crazy is going down,

01:10:29.440 you know,

01:10:29.600 they go into an underground bunker

01:10:30.780 where they, you know,

01:10:31.540 got classified phones,

01:10:33.100 are able to, you know,

01:10:33.920 still run the country

01:10:35.240 while we're under attack.

01:10:36.820 And, you know,

01:10:37.860 in Air Force One,

01:10:38.540 a.k.a. what the president,

01:10:39.880 you know,

01:10:40.100 is in the plane

01:10:41.120 when he's coming back from Florida,

01:10:42.320 they have Air Force One

01:10:43.560 just constantly, you know,

01:10:45.000 flying around

01:10:45.640 in the air

01:10:46.140 until they can get things stabilized

01:10:47.680 because, you know,

01:10:48.260 at the end of the day,

01:10:48.880 you need the president alive.

01:10:50.140 You know,

01:10:50.280 we got to create,

01:10:52.780 we got to prioritize

01:10:53.860 the safety of the president

01:10:54.920 because if he goes down,

01:10:56.140 then people are going to start

01:10:57.020 losing faith and going wild.

01:10:58.280 So it's very important

01:10:59.240 to maintain composure

01:11:00.440 and keep some semblance

01:11:01.980 of control

01:11:02.600 in times of peril.

01:11:04.680 So in any type of crisis,

01:11:07.260 they're going to the bunker,

01:11:08.300 start making decisions,

01:11:09.660 President's in Air Force One

01:11:10.660 flying around,

01:11:12.100 making calls,

01:11:12.780 making decisions,

01:11:13.440 et cetera,

01:11:13.800 because they got to keep him safe,

01:11:14.760 of course.

01:11:15.500 So the vice president,

01:11:16.380 you know,

01:11:16.840 that's their job,

01:11:17.600 kind of step in

01:11:18.240 and help out.

01:11:20.140 To fully understand

01:11:21.300 the implications of this case,

01:11:22.940 two things must be kept in mind.

01:11:25.080 One is that according

01:11:26.020 to the official version,

01:11:27.320 Flight 77 crashed

01:11:28.640 into the Pentagon

01:11:29.300 at 937,

01:11:30.700 while Flight United 93

01:11:32.160 crashed in Pennsylvania

01:11:33.520 at 1003.

01:11:34.960 It's on this 26-minute window

01:11:37.060 that hinges the whole credibility

01:11:38.700 of the vice president

01:11:39.720 on his true role

01:11:40.900 in the September 11 attacks.

01:11:43.220 The second thing

01:11:44.100 to keep in mind

01:11:44.860 is that-

01:11:45.180 All right,

01:11:45.300 this is a very important part here,

01:11:46.420 guys.

01:11:46.680 So that's 26 minutes.

01:11:47.800 Keep that in mind.

01:11:48.460 The order to shoot down

01:11:49.540 civilian airliners

01:11:50.680 came from the president

01:11:51.700 through the vice president

01:11:52.960 only after the Pentagon

01:11:54.600 had been hit.

01:11:55.780 When the third plane

01:11:56.660 hit the Pentagon,

01:11:57.420 the magnitude of the attacks

01:11:58.700 grew dramatically.

01:12:02.520 We didn't know

01:12:03.380 if there were other planes

01:12:04.780 that had been hijacked.

01:12:05.520 So the first decision

01:12:07.380 I made on Air Force One

01:12:09.320 was to give our Air Force

01:12:12.760 orders to shoot down

01:12:15.200 commercial aircraft

01:12:16.260 that did not respond.

01:12:18.380 This means that any order

01:12:19.760 given before the Pentagon

01:12:20.980 was hit could not

01:12:22.220 have been a shoot-down order.

01:12:24.320 However,

01:12:24.920 as Chairman Hamilton

01:12:25.920 was inquiring about

01:12:27.060 the shoot-down order,

01:12:28.460 something unexpected

01:12:29.320 emerged from Mineta

01:12:30.380 on the plane

01:12:31.080 that hit the Pentagon.

01:12:32.420 And we had that order given,

01:12:34.560 I think it was by the president

01:12:35.860 that authorized

01:12:37.500 the shooting down

01:12:39.560 of commercial aircraft

01:12:41.160 that were suspected

01:12:42.660 to be controlled

01:12:43.480 by terrorists.

01:12:46.040 Were you there

01:12:47.060 when that order was given?

01:12:49.440 No, I was not.

01:12:50.700 I was made aware of it

01:12:52.240 during the time

01:12:54.280 that the airplane

01:12:55.380 coming in to the Pentagon,

01:12:58.540 there was a young man

01:12:59.960 who would come in

01:13:00.560 and say to the vice president,

01:13:02.620 the plane is 50 miles out.

01:13:05.140 The plane is 30 miles out.

01:13:07.320 And when it got down

01:13:08.260 to the plane is 10 miles out,

01:13:11.320 the young man also said

01:13:13.800 to the vice president,

01:13:15.160 do the orders still stand?

01:13:17.900 And the vice president turned

01:13:19.840 and whipped his neck around

01:13:22.720 and said,

01:13:23.580 of course the orders still stand.

01:13:25.540 Have you heard anything

01:13:26.420 to the contrary?

01:13:28.320 Well, at the time,

01:13:29.120 I didn't know

01:13:29.540 what all that meant.

01:13:30.560 The flight you're referring to

01:13:34.320 is the...

01:13:35.320 It's like they came

01:13:36.600 into the Pentagon.

01:13:38.320 Minetta's deposition

01:13:39.340 posed a major problem.

01:13:41.020 Since the shoot-down order

01:13:42.100 was given only after

01:13:43.280 the Pentagon was hit,

01:13:44.600 Cheney's order

01:13:45.300 sounded very much

01:13:46.260 like one

01:13:46.860 not to shoot down

01:13:47.980 the plane.

01:13:49.320 Hamilton immediately suggested

01:13:50.840 that what Minetta 0.79

01:13:51.620 had witnessed

01:13:52.240 was also a shoot-down order.

01:13:54.140 Let me see if I understand

01:13:55.820 that the plane

01:13:56.800 that was headed

01:13:57.440 toward the Pentagon

01:13:58.420 and was some miles away,

01:14:02.160 there was an order

01:14:03.320 to shoot that plane down.

01:14:05.980 Well, I don't know

01:14:07.700 that specifically.

01:14:09.620 Commissioner Romer

01:14:10.460 picked up where

01:14:11.100 Hamilton left off.

01:14:12.480 You said,

01:14:13.740 if I understood you correctly,

01:14:15.660 that you were not

01:14:18.080 in the room

01:14:19.340 when the decision

01:14:20.300 was made

01:14:21.240 to what you inferred

01:14:24.700 was a decision made

01:14:26.800 to attempt

01:14:28.240 to shoot down

01:14:29.560 Flight 77

01:14:31.060 before it crashed

01:14:32.820 into the Pentagon.

01:14:34.240 Is that correct?

01:14:35.800 I didn't know

01:14:36.420 about the shooting,

01:14:38.860 the order to shoot down.

01:14:40.820 Commissioner Romer

01:14:41.640 then tried to suggest

01:14:42.760 a different solution.

01:14:43.780 Was there another

01:14:44.760 line of communication

01:14:46.020 between the Vice President

01:14:47.420 and you said

01:14:48.260 you saw Mr. Richard Clark

01:14:49.980 on your way in?

01:14:51.240 Was Clark running

01:14:52.460 an operations center

01:14:54.040 as well on that day?

01:14:56.240 Dick was in

01:14:57.700 the situation room.

01:14:59.320 So there was

01:14:59.740 a situation room

01:15:00.700 making decisions

01:15:01.520 about what was going

01:15:02.740 to happen on shoot downs

01:15:03.980 as well as the PIOC?

01:15:05.680 I don't believe

01:15:06.220 they were making

01:15:06.820 any decisions.

01:15:07.820 I think they were

01:15:08.280 more information gathering

01:15:10.300 from various agencies.

01:15:13.600 Could it have been

01:15:14.500 in the situation room

01:15:15.680 where somebody

01:15:16.840 in the situation room

01:15:18.020 recommended the shoot down

01:15:19.600 and the Vice President

01:15:20.660 agreed to that?

01:15:24.100 Commissioner Romer,

01:15:25.120 I would assume

01:15:25.960 that a decision

01:15:27.520 of that nature

01:15:28.340 would have been,

01:15:29.520 would have had to be made

01:15:30.820 at a much higher level

01:15:31.980 than the people

01:15:33.340 who were in

01:15:33.820 the situation room.

01:15:35.660 Unable to resolve

01:15:36.580 Hot damn. 0.98

01:15:38.020 Ho, ho! 1.00

01:15:39.360 Oh, shit!

01:15:40.120 Oh, shit!

01:15:40.820 Of the discrepancy,

01:15:42.120 the 9-11 Commission

01:15:43.020 took a series

01:15:43.720 of dramatic steps.

01:15:45.440 Firstly,

01:15:46.140 they simply excluded

01:15:47.320 Minetta's testimony

01:15:48.300 from the final report.

01:15:50.200 In the 560 pages

01:15:51.680 of the report,

01:15:52.800 Norman Minetta

01:15:53.420 is mentioned only once

01:15:54.920 in an unrelated circumstance.

01:15:57.440 His presence

01:15:58.020 in the PIOC

01:15:58.760 is never even acknowledged

01:16:00.000 and the video segment

01:16:01.280 you have just seen

01:16:02.140 has been removed

01:16:02.920 from the Commission's

01:16:03.740 official website

01:16:04.560 and it's no longer available.

01:16:07.400 Secondly,

01:16:08.200 the 9-11 Commission

01:16:09.240 moved Dick Cheney's arrival

01:16:10.580 in the PIOC

01:16:11.300 to after the Pentagon

01:16:12.500 had been hit.

01:16:13.960 From the final report,

01:16:15.220 we read,

01:16:15.700 the Vice President

01:16:16.860 entered the underground tunnel

01:16:18.400 leading to the shelter

01:16:19.440 at 9-37,

01:16:21.080 which is the same time

01:16:22.200 the Pentagon was hit.

01:16:23.760 The Commission stated

01:16:24.720 that Dick Cheney

01:16:25.520 remained in the tunnel

01:16:26.440 for more than 20 minutes

01:16:27.860 trying to complete a call

01:16:29.180 to the President

01:16:29.820 and that he only entered

01:16:31.040 the PIOC at 9-58.

01:16:33.600 Why would the Vice President

01:16:34.780 spend more than 20 minutes

01:16:36.220 in a tunnel

01:16:36.740 trying to make a phone call

01:16:38.140 when the PIOC

01:16:38.880 is fully equipped

01:16:39.700 with all kinds of telephones

01:16:41.120 has never been explained.

01:16:42.380 You didn't want other people

01:16:45.260 to hear the conversation,

01:16:46.400 which, you know,

01:16:47.180 definitely,

01:16:47.940 if that's what's going on here.

01:16:50.100 The Commission moved

01:16:51.760 the exchange

01:16:52.380 with the young man

01:16:53.220 to after 10 o'clock

01:16:54.400 and rewrote it

01:16:55.200 in order to reconcile it

01:16:56.380 with the official version.

01:16:58.000 From the final report,

01:16:59.040 we read,

01:16:59.480 At some time

01:17:00.580 between 10-10 and 10-15,

01:17:02.720 a military aide

01:17:03.620 told the Vice President

01:17:04.600 and others

01:17:05.260 that the aircraft

01:17:06.200 was 80 miles out.

01:17:07.940 Vice President Cheney

01:17:08.900 was asked for authority

01:17:09.960 to engage the aircraft.

01:17:11.680 The military aide

01:17:12.540 returned a few minutes later

01:17:13.780 and said the aircraft

01:17:14.800 was 60 miles out.

01:17:16.300 He again asked

01:17:17.120 for authorization to engage.

01:17:18.940 The Vice President

01:17:19.640 again said yes.

01:17:22.140 In summary,

01:17:23.100 the window of time

01:17:24.000 Mineta described as

01:17:25.260 during the time

01:17:26.120 of the plane

01:17:26.660 coming into the Pentagon

01:17:27.760 had become 10-10 to 10-15

01:17:30.260 in the Commission report.

01:17:31.860 The 50 miles out reference

01:17:33.320 by Mineta

01:17:33.920 had become 80

01:17:34.960 and 60 miles out

01:17:36.380 in the report.

01:17:37.500 The 30 miles out

01:17:38.720 and 10 miles out

01:17:39.900 mentions by Mineta

01:17:40.880 were removed

01:17:41.740 and the unspecified order

01:17:43.340 by Dick Cheney

01:17:44.160 to the young man

01:17:44.980 had become

01:17:45.480 a straightforward

01:17:46.220 shoot-down order.

01:17:48.100 And now that the episode

01:17:49.280 had been moved

01:17:49.940 to after 10 o'clock,

01:17:51.320 the Commission could maintain

01:17:52.500 that the exchange

01:17:53.340 Mineta had witnessed

01:17:54.280 was referring to Flight 93

01:17:55.940 when the shoot-down order

01:17:57.280 was already in place

01:17:58.440 and not to the flight

01:17:59.500 that hit the Pentagon.

01:18:01.620 There was only one problem

01:18:03.100 with this.

01:18:03.740 All right.

01:18:04.440 Also, pay attention

01:18:05.220 to this part, guys.

01:18:05.980 As you can see,

01:18:06.660 I'm not trying to interrupt

01:18:07.780 so that you guys

01:18:08.580 can kind of go ahead

01:18:09.460 and get the full picture.

01:18:10.520 So pay attention

01:18:11.160 to this part as well, guys.

01:18:11.960 The version of the events.

01:18:13.920 Norman Mineta

01:18:14.540 had to be terribly confused

01:18:16.000 in his recollections

01:18:17.080 as he could not

01:18:17.960 have been with

01:18:18.400 the Vice President

01:18:19.060 in the PIOC

01:18:19.780 at the time

01:18:20.320 the Pentagon was hit.

01:18:21.940 To support this theory,

01:18:23.260 the debunkers point

01:18:24.180 at a statement by Mineta

01:18:25.460 who said he arrived

01:18:26.500 at the White House

01:18:27.260 while it was being evacuated.

01:18:29.420 Since the official order

01:18:30.480 of the evacuation

01:18:31.360 came at 9.45,

01:18:33.140 contend the debunkers,

01:18:34.380 Mineta could not

01:18:35.200 have been with

01:18:35.740 the Vice President

01:18:36.520 in the PIOC

01:18:37.420 at the time

01:18:38.200 the Pentagon was hit.

01:18:39.380 Mineta was in the PIOC

01:18:39.660 in the PIOC at 9.50 a.m.

01:18:41.300 But in the same deposition,

01:18:52.680 Mineta also stated

01:18:53.620 that he arrived

01:18:54.340 at the PIOC

01:18:55.000 at about 9.20 a.m.

01:18:56.880 So it's presumable

01:18:57.720 that he was referring

01:18:58.540 to the people

01:18:59.160 that had already started

01:19:00.160 leaving the White House

01:19:01.080 before the official order

01:19:02.260 of evacuation was given.

01:19:03.500 In fact,

01:19:04.840 at 9.52,

01:19:05.940 CNN reported

01:19:06.880 that a slow evacuation

01:19:08.120 of the White House

01:19:09.080 had started

01:19:09.620 some 30 minutes earlier,

01:19:11.180 much before

01:19:11.800 the official order

01:19:12.820 was given.

01:19:14.520 Furthermore,

01:19:15.500 a secret service timeline

01:19:16.720 compiled by the 9.11

01:19:18.060 commission staff

01:19:18.940 shows that the

01:19:19.820 30 miles out

01:19:20.780 and 10 miles out

01:19:21.960 calls came at

01:19:23.180 9.31

01:19:23.800 and 9.34

01:19:25.080 respectively.

01:19:26.400 Oh, Lord!

01:19:27.260 Oh, shit!

01:19:27.960 Oh, shit!

01:19:28.340 Holy!

01:19:29.620 Let's keep going.

01:19:31.240 This clearly places

01:19:32.540 the exchange

01:19:33.300 Mineta witnessed

01:19:34.160 before 9.37.

01:19:36.380 At the same time,

01:19:37.380 the main problem

01:19:38.080 with placing Cheney's

01:19:39.200 removal from his office

01:19:40.340 at 9.37

01:19:41.140 is Dick Cheney himself.

01:19:43.320 On September 16,

01:19:44.660 five days after the events,

01:19:46.500 Cheney stated

01:19:47.160 on Meet the Press

01:19:48.180 that he was taken

01:19:49.040 into the bunker

01:19:49.740 shortly after

01:19:50.660 the second tower was hit,

01:19:52.160 which happened at 9.03.

01:19:53.680 So we turned on

01:19:54.200 the television

01:19:54.720 and watched for a few minutes

01:19:56.500 and then actually saw

01:19:57.580 the second plane hit

01:19:58.700 on the World Trade Center.

01:20:00.800 I talked with the president

01:20:02.060 while I was there

01:20:03.420 over the next several minutes

01:20:04.640 watching developments

01:20:05.440 on television

01:20:06.120 and as we started

01:20:07.400 to get organized

01:20:08.080 to figure out what to do,

01:20:10.380 my Secret Service agents

01:20:11.760 came in

01:20:12.620 and they hoisted me up

01:20:16.060 and moved me

01:20:16.580 very rapidly

01:20:17.140 down the hallway.

01:20:19.320 Yeah, there's no option

01:20:20.480 when the Secret Service

01:20:21.180 comes in

01:20:21.680 and you're their protectee.

01:20:22.740 They're just moving you.

01:20:23.740 They don't give a fuck.

01:20:24.260 Oh, no, no,

01:20:25.200 I'm not going nowhere.

01:20:26.240 Okay, sir.

01:20:27.360 Stupid.

01:20:27.900 We're taking you somewhere.

01:20:28.880 Sorry.

01:20:29.780 Your life is entrusted to us.

01:20:31.900 Stairs through some doors

01:20:33.020 and down some more stairs

01:20:34.280 into an underground facility

01:20:35.740 and they did that

01:20:37.640 because they'd received a report

01:20:39.400 that an airplane

01:20:40.200 was headed for the White House.

01:20:41.140 There are also several

01:20:42.180 highly credible testimonies

01:20:43.640 that placed Dick Cheney's

01:20:44.720 removal from his office

01:20:45.720 shortly after 9.03.

01:20:47.520 ABC News quoted

01:20:48.740 White House photographer

01:20:49.740 David Borer

01:20:50.520 saying that

01:20:51.180 Just after 9 a.m.,

01:20:52.700 Vice President Dick Cheney

01:20:53.900 was in his West Wing office

01:20:55.240 when two or three agents

01:20:56.480 came in

01:20:56.940 and told him,

01:20:57.760 Sir, you have to come with us.

01:20:59.340 Agents came inside the office

01:21:00.780 and said,

01:21:01.580 Sir, you have to come with us.

01:21:03.600 The New York Times

01:21:04.380 reported the same story.

01:21:05.940 At 9.03 a.m.,

01:21:07.120 as Vice President Cheney

01:21:08.320 was staring at the TV screen,

01:21:10.020 the second hijacked airliner

01:21:11.560 exploded against the Twin Towers.

01:21:13.600 At that moment,

01:21:14.480 the Secret Service grabbed him

01:21:15.760 and hurried him down

01:21:16.640 to Pioch.

01:21:17.840 Richard Clark,

01:21:18.720 in his book

01:21:19.240 Against All Enemies,

01:21:20.680 wrote that soon after

01:21:21.620 the second tower was hit,

01:21:23.140 Cheney began to gather up

01:21:24.260 his papers.

01:21:25.280 As I left,

01:21:25.940 I counted eight

01:21:26.720 Secret Service agents

01:21:27.840 ready to move to the Pioch.

01:21:29.900 President Bush's secretary,

01:21:31.500 Ashley Estes,

01:21:32.360 stated,

01:21:33.060 As the second plane hit,

01:21:34.360 it didn't really click

01:21:35.320 exactly what happened.

01:21:36.760 Then I heard a noise,

01:21:37.880 like a body bumping a door.

01:21:39.660 I looked out into a hallway

01:21:40.840 and saw the Vice President

01:21:42.080 with the Secret Service.

01:21:43.380 They had kind of lifted him up

01:21:44.920 and were running with him.

01:21:46.300 At that point,

01:21:46.940 it definitely registered

01:21:48.140 what it was.

01:21:49.780 Former Undersecretary of Defense,

01:21:51.760 Eric Edelman,

01:21:52.660 testified,

01:21:53.400 I was already down in the Pioch 0.99

01:21:54.920 with the Vice President

01:21:55.840 when we got word

01:21:56.780 there had been an explosion

01:21:57.800 at the Pentagon.

01:21:58.980 And even after 10 years,

01:22:00.900 Dick Cheney has not changed

01:22:02.120 his story one bit.

01:22:03.340 As we watched,

01:22:04.360 we saw the second plane strike

01:22:05.900 and then we knew

01:22:07.720 it was a terrorist attack.

01:22:10.160 Then my Secret Service agent,

01:22:12.420 lead agent,

01:22:13.360 came bursting through the door

01:22:15.480 at my office and said,

01:22:17.620 sir, we have to leave now.

01:22:18.940 While all these testimonies

01:22:20.180 clearly placed Dick Cheney

01:22:21.480 in the Pioch

01:22:22.080 by the time the Pentagon

01:22:23.100 was hit,

01:22:24.060 the 9-11 Commission

01:22:25.140 has admitted that

01:22:26.080 the 9-37 entry time

01:22:27.880 by Dick Cheney

01:22:28.740 in the tunnel

01:22:29.240 was based on alarm data,

01:22:31.040 which is no longer retrievable.

01:22:32.480 And, most important of all,

01:22:35.780 Mineta himself recalls

01:22:37.280 being with the Vice President

01:22:38.380 by the time

01:22:39.020 the Pentagon was hit.

01:22:40.040 So then someone came in

01:22:41.500 and said,

01:22:42.320 Mr. Vice President,

01:22:44.440 there's been an explosion

01:22:45.860 at the Pentagon.

01:22:48.640 In the course of time,

01:22:49.740 Secretary Mineta

01:22:50.500 has never changed his story,

01:22:52.300 repeatedly confirming

01:22:53.380 both the location

01:22:54.320 and the timing of the event.

01:22:56.400 Then all of a sudden,

01:22:57.760 as I was talking to him,

01:22:58.720 he said,

01:22:59.800 uh-oh,

01:23:00.180 I lost the bogey,

01:23:02.400 lost the target.

01:23:04.020 I said,

01:23:04.400 well, where is it?

01:23:05.520 He said,

01:23:05.820 well, somewhere between

01:23:06.960 Roslyn 0.99

01:23:08.240 and, uh,

01:23:10.140 National Airport.

01:23:11.460 And about that time,

01:23:12.820 someone broke into

01:23:13.460 the conversation.

01:23:14.820 He said,

01:23:15.080 Mr. Secretary,

01:23:16.260 we just had a confirmation

01:23:17.520 from a Arlington

01:23:18.560 County police officer

01:23:20.460 saying that he saw

01:23:22.060 an American Airlines plane

01:23:24.000 go into the Pentagon.

01:23:26.660 That the exchange

01:23:27.820 Mineta witnessed

01:23:28.480 was referring to the plane

01:23:29.740 that hit the Pentagon

01:23:30.520 should be beyond doubt

01:23:31.900 at this point.

01:23:33.180 But we still don't know

01:23:34.260 what was the order

01:23:35.000 given by Dick Cheney

01:23:36.100 to the young military,

01:23:37.240 whose name turned out

01:23:38.120 to be Douglas Cochran.

01:23:40.120 In 2000-

01:23:40.540 Oh, they identified him.

01:23:41.580 This is interesting

01:23:42.260 right here, guys.

01:23:42.940 Pay attention to this as well.

01:23:43.860 This is a very interesting

01:23:45.400 point here.

01:23:45.960 In 2010,

01:23:46.940 some researchers

01:23:47.520 tracked down Mr. Cochran

01:23:48.680 and asked him to clarify

01:23:49.800 what the orders

01:23:50.580 by Dick Cheney were.

01:23:52.200 Mr. Cochran confirmed

01:23:53.260 being the person

01:23:54.020 involved in the exchange,

01:23:55.340 but declined to elaborate.

01:23:57.020 He simply stated that

01:23:58.080 everything that happened

01:23:59.280 on that day

01:23:59.920 has been well documented.

01:24:01.400 The 9-11 Commission report

01:24:02.640 is the authoritative narrative

01:24:04.040 on the events of 9-11.

01:24:05.620 I have nothing to add.

01:24:07.380 Smart guy.

01:24:08.100 He don't want to get in trouble.

01:24:10.200 He's like,

01:24:10.800 oh, you want to give a statement?

01:24:12.040 Nope.

01:24:14.200 In fact,

01:24:15.060 it turns out that in 2004,

01:24:16.980 the 9-11 Commission

01:24:17.880 did interview Douglas Cochran,

01:24:19.760 military aide

01:24:20.480 to the vice president,

01:24:21.420 on the inbound aircraft

01:24:22.620 and on the shoot-down

01:24:23.840 language used.

01:24:25.360 But his interview

01:24:26.000 has been withdrawn

01:24:26.820 from public access

01:24:27.900 and to this day,

01:24:28.860 it remains classified.

01:24:30.840 Oh, shit.

01:24:37.620 While we wait

01:24:38.540 for that document

01:24:39.300 to be declassified,

01:24:40.500 we can piece together

01:24:41.380 the information

01:24:42.040 we already have.

01:24:43.580 One,

01:24:44.140 the sky over Washington

01:24:45.560 is Class Bravo,

01:24:46.920 restricted airspace.

01:24:48.180 It's called

01:24:48.560 prohibited area 56.

01:24:50.860 In order to enter it,

01:24:51.960 an airplane must have clearance

01:24:53.240 from air traffic controllers,

01:24:54.940 active two-way radio communications

01:24:56.800 and its transponder

01:24:58.140 must be on.

01:24:59.220 Otherwise,

01:24:59.740 it's to be considered hostile

01:25:00.920 and it could be shot down.

01:25:02.880 Two,

01:25:03.560 as explained by

01:25:04.400 former Secretary of Defense

01:25:05.700 Casper Weinberger,

01:25:07.080 in a time of crisis,

01:25:08.340 the Washington airspace

01:25:09.400 goes into an actual lockdown.

01:25:11.080 You would do

01:25:12.120 what is being done

01:25:13.140 and that is closing off

01:25:14.240 the entire airspace

01:25:15.220 so that you,

01:25:16.400 in effect,

01:25:17.080 the whole Washington area

01:25:18.020 is a no-fly zone

01:25:19.020 so that any planes

01:25:20.380 that can't identify themselves

01:25:22.060 that get into that

01:25:22.920 are to be shot down.

01:25:25.740 Three,

01:25:26.360 the White House

01:25:27.020 had ground-to-air missiles

01:25:28.360 of their own.

01:25:29.060 Hello there,

01:25:29.620 Washington approach.

01:25:30.660 All right.

01:25:31.180 Make sure that...

01:25:32.100 I did not know that,

01:25:33.040 actually, guys.

01:25:33.460 That's a very interesting point

01:25:34.360 and the more interesting point

01:25:35.740 is that the Secret Service

01:25:36.620 mans it.

01:25:37.520 So,

01:25:38.020 that's actually

01:25:39.360 very interesting.

01:25:40.760 That the center

01:25:41.380 does not have anything

01:25:42.380 above our airspace also.

01:25:44.060 The Secret Service

01:25:44.860 is going to start shooting...

01:25:46.000 But it makes perfect sense,

01:25:47.040 you know,

01:25:47.460 that they would have

01:25:48.840 ground-to-air missiles

01:25:50.420 for the White House.

01:25:52.560 ...at anything in the air.

01:25:54.760 Four.

01:25:55.580 As the unknown airplane

01:25:56.620 was approaching

01:25:57.260 the protected airspace,

01:25:58.600 it had no clearance

01:25:59.500 from air traffic controllers,

01:26:01.100 no radio communications active,

01:26:03.020 and the transponder was off.

01:26:04.600 He said,

01:26:05.100 we're tracking an airplane

01:26:06.140 coming in,

01:26:07.460 but the transponder

01:26:09.000 has been turned off.

01:26:10.700 So,

01:26:11.200 we don't have any identification

01:26:12.460 on the airplane.

01:26:13.900 We know it's coming in fast.

01:26:16.080 A representation

01:26:16.960 of the FAA radar scope

01:26:18.600 based on information

01:26:19.620 obtained by 2020

01:26:20.760 shows the plane

01:26:21.980 headed straight

01:26:22.720 for what is known

01:26:23.540 as P-56,

01:26:25.320 prohibited airspace 56,

01:26:27.500 which covers

01:26:28.020 the White House

01:26:28.700 and the Capitol

01:26:29.440 at a speed

01:26:30.480 of about 500 miles an hour

01:26:32.720 with no radio contact

01:26:34.600 whatsoever.

01:26:35.740 It would be unprecedented

01:26:36.560 for a commercial plane

01:26:38.000 to come screaming

01:26:39.040 through your airspace

01:26:40.120 at that kind of speed,

01:26:41.700 unidentified,

01:26:42.620 without making

01:26:43.160 some type of communication.

01:26:44.700 This made it

01:26:45.280 a perfect candidate

01:26:46.160 for a shoot-down,

01:26:47.180 especially after

01:26:48.160 two towers in New York

01:26:49.440 had already been hit

01:26:50.380 by an airplane.

01:26:51.860 Five,

01:26:52.600 the Secret Service

01:26:53.400 had known about

01:26:54.040 the incoming airplane

01:26:55.080 for the last 30 minutes,

01:26:56.660 so it's presumable

01:26:57.560 they would have been ready

01:26:58.400 to shoot it down

01:26:59.160 if it became necessary.

01:27:00.580 One of them

01:27:01.260 approximately 30 minutes out,

01:27:02.620 one of them

01:27:02.920 approximately 45 minutes out.

01:27:05.060 So we knew we had

01:27:05.960 some time,

01:27:07.620 but little time.

01:27:08.180 Our supervisor

01:27:09.320 picked up our line

01:27:10.540 to the White House

01:27:11.500 and started relaying

01:27:13.160 to them the information.

01:27:14.980 We have an unidentified,

01:27:16.340 very fast-moving aircraft

01:27:17.740 inbound toward your vicinity.

01:27:19.960 Despite all this,

01:27:21.180 no one moved a finger

01:27:22.160 as the unknown threat

01:27:23.240 kept rushing

01:27:23.880 towards the Capitol.

01:27:25.140 Someone came in

01:27:26.100 and said to the Vice President,

01:27:27.700 there's a plane out

01:27:29.220 about 50 miles out.

01:27:31.160 That's the one nearest us.

01:27:32.900 We got closer and closer,

01:27:34.240 six minutes out,

01:27:35.260 five minutes out.

01:27:36.360 The same person

01:27:37.160 said to the Vice President,

01:27:39.200 Mr. Vice President,

01:27:40.240 there's a plane

01:27:41.420 30 miles out.

01:27:42.760 The Washington controllers

01:27:44.320 came up on the speakerphone.

01:27:45.980 They started counting down

01:27:47.060 10 miles to the White House.

01:27:49.500 Young man said,

01:27:50.440 Vice President,

01:27:51.220 the plane's 10 miles out.

01:27:53.940 Do the orders still stand?

01:27:56.260 And the Vice President

01:27:57.140 sort of whipped his head around

01:27:58.460 and said,

01:27:58.940 of course they do.

01:28:00.280 Nine miles from the White House.

01:28:02.760 Eight miles from the White House.

01:28:04.740 Seven miles west.

01:28:06.220 And it went six,

01:28:07.900 five,

01:28:09.000 four.

01:28:09.380 All the way down

01:28:10.640 to one mile from the White House.

01:28:12.440 But no missile was fired.

01:28:14.320 Undisturbed,

01:28:14.860 the plane turned around

01:28:15.960 and went on

01:28:16.580 to strike the Pentagon.

01:28:19.020 Causing the death

01:28:19.720 of at least 125 people

01:28:22.480 between military

01:28:23.420 and civilians

01:28:24.080 on the ground.

01:28:25.580 Question.

01:28:26.440 The Secret Service knew

01:28:27.540 about the incoming plane

01:28:28.640 for the last 30 minutes,

01:28:30.060 was following it on radar,

01:28:31.860 had the means

01:28:32.380 to shoot it down,

01:28:33.300 and should have done so

01:28:34.220 in order to protect

01:28:35.020 the Capitol.

01:28:35.840 But they didn't.

01:28:36.980 Why?

01:28:37.300 In regards to the exchange

01:28:39.560 between Cheney

01:28:40.400 and the young man,

01:28:41.360 can you suggest

01:28:42.060 anything different

01:28:42.900 from an order

01:28:43.600 not to shoot down

01:28:44.600 the plane?

01:28:45.680 Well, I will say this.

01:28:47.120 You know,

01:28:47.440 they're scared

01:28:47.940 because shooting down

01:28:48.940 a plane,

01:28:49.300 you need high up,

01:28:50.280 you know,

01:28:50.720 approval to do that,

01:28:51.900 man.

01:28:52.100 Because remember,

01:28:52.840 guys,

01:28:53.020 it's a civilian plane.

01:28:53.980 Now,

01:28:54.240 does that excuse

01:28:54.880 that the Secret Service

01:28:55.540 didn't do it?

01:28:55.980 No.

01:28:56.580 But I could see why

01:28:57.640 no one wants to make

01:28:58.420 that kind of call.

01:28:59.240 You know,

01:28:59.440 you're calling up

01:29:00.160 at the highest level

01:29:00.880 saying,

01:29:01.240 hey,

01:29:01.360 can we shoot down

01:29:01.820 this plane

01:29:02.100 until we got authorization?

01:29:03.500 No one wants

01:29:03.880 to make a tough decision

01:29:04.620 like that.

01:29:05.780 Approaching Washington's

01:29:06.840 protected airspace.

01:29:12.160 All right.

01:29:12.720 So now we're going

01:29:13.400 to get into

01:29:14.180 the hijackers,

01:29:15.840 guys.

01:29:16.000 This is part two

01:29:16.780 of the conspiracy theory.

01:29:21.400 So this is some

01:29:21.980 interesting stuff as well.

01:29:23.560 And they're going

01:29:24.100 to talk about,

01:29:24.660 you know,

01:29:24.880 flight skills,

01:29:26.140 CCTV,

01:29:26.640 and some other

01:29:27.480 things as well

01:29:28.120 that raise some

01:29:29.140 suspicion.

01:29:29.700 So let's get into it.

01:29:31.820 While the military

01:29:32.420 defense leaves

01:29:33.280 many unanswered

01:29:34.180 questions,

01:29:34.980 even more doubts

01:29:35.820 arise when taking

01:29:36.640 a closer look

01:29:37.420 at the 19

01:29:38.200 alleged terrorists.

01:29:40.120 The first problem

01:29:40.920 is that apparently

01:29:41.720 these guys

01:29:42.440 could barely fly

01:29:43.440 at all.

01:29:44.420 While they are

01:29:45.100 known to have

01:29:45.620 taken some

01:29:46.180 flight lessons

01:29:46.840 with small

01:29:47.400 single-engine

01:29:48.060 airplanes,

01:29:49.000 none of them

01:29:49.460 had ever flown

01:29:50.180 a jet before

01:29:50.920 in their life,

01:29:51.680 let alone a large

01:29:52.660 commercial airliner,

01:29:53.880 which is obviously

01:29:54.720 a league of its own.

01:29:56.640 Adam Shaw

01:29:57.500 is an acrobatic

01:29:58.420 pilot and a flight

01:29:59.320 instructor with

01:29:59.960 6,000 hours of

01:30:01.100 experience,

01:30:01.900 half of which

01:30:02.440 spent flying

01:30:03.160 upside down.

01:30:04.400 For people who

01:30:04.980 are really piss-poor

01:30:07.400 student pilots

01:30:08.340 to be able to get

01:30:09.600 in the cockpit

01:30:10.660 of big jets

01:30:13.540 and fly them

01:30:14.760 as accurately

01:30:15.360 as they were flown

01:30:16.260 at close to max speed

01:30:17.540 and be able to hit

01:30:19.160 the trade towers.

01:30:20.840 The idea that

01:30:22.000 someone could make

01:30:22.680 the transition

01:30:23.300 from a small

01:30:24.060 single-engine plane

01:30:25.100 traveling at 100

01:30:25.980 miles an hour

01:30:26.760 to a commercial

01:30:27.600 airliner traveling

01:30:28.580 at 500 miles an hour

01:30:30.080 without a long,

01:30:31.400 exhausted training

01:30:32.200 is very hard

01:30:33.100 to believe.

01:30:33.940 People don't realize

01:30:35.140 that to hand-fly

01:30:36.680 an airliner

01:30:37.760 at those speeds

01:30:39.340 is extremely difficult,

01:30:41.940 and particularly

01:30:42.660 if you're a novice,

01:30:43.740 because a novice

01:30:45.060 that's learned

01:30:45.800 in little airplanes,

01:30:47.320 they over-control

01:30:48.180 everything.

01:30:48.980 To justify

01:30:49.540 this apparently

01:30:50.240 impossible transition,

01:30:51.800 the debunkers

01:30:52.280 maintained that

01:30:53.120 the terrorist

01:30:53.620 had spent some time

01:30:54.780 in flight simulators

01:30:55.820 and that

01:30:56.420 the equipment

01:30:57.060 they encountered

01:30:57.720 in the Boeing cockpits

01:30:58.820 on September 11

01:30:59.760 was similar

01:31:00.520 to the simulators

01:31:01.420 they had trained on.

01:31:02.960 But this is false.

01:31:04.340 For example,

01:31:04.920 the only simulator

01:31:05.780 Hani Hanjur

01:31:06.560 is known to have

01:31:07.380 ever trained in

01:31:08.200 is the Boeing 737,

01:31:09.920 an airplane designed

01:31:10.780 in the 70s

01:31:11.540 with a totally different

01:31:12.500 cockpit from the 757

01:31:14.140 he is alleged

01:31:14.880 to have hijacked

01:31:15.620 on September 11.

01:31:17.080 If anything,

01:31:17.840 his training

01:31:18.240 would have confused him,

01:31:19.440 not helped him

01:31:19.960 in any way.

01:31:21.660 Another argument

01:31:22.440 by the debunkers

01:31:23.320 is that all the hijackers

01:31:24.660 really had to do

01:31:25.680 once in the cockpits

01:31:26.840 was to set

01:31:27.380 the automatic pilot

01:31:28.360 in order to reach

01:31:29.140 their targets.

01:31:29.740 He has a banalità

01:31:30.800 sconcertante,

01:31:31.780 me lo sono fatto

01:31:32.360 a spiegare

01:31:32.900 e come fare un sms

01:31:34.160 sul telefonino

01:31:34.980 e l'aereo va

01:31:36.320 automaticamente

01:31:37.380 ad aggiungere

01:31:37.860 la destinazione

01:31:38.400 di richiesta.

01:31:39.560 Quindi io faccio

01:31:40.080 un suo JFA

01:31:40.800 e lui mi porta

01:31:42.960 all'aeroporto Kennedy.

01:31:44.680 Appena io sono invito

01:31:45.700 all'aeroporto Kennedy,

01:31:47.040 prendo i mani

01:31:47.580 in comandi

01:31:48.020 e mischia

01:31:48.480 i propriatori.

01:31:49.500 But this

01:31:50.140 is hardly what happened

01:31:51.360 on September 11.

01:31:52.780 Dave Bottiglia

01:31:53.540 is the air traffic

01:31:54.380 controller

01:31:54.820 who followed

01:31:55.360 the hijacking

01:31:56.020 of United 175.

01:31:57.740 Now as I'm watching,

01:31:59.380 United 175

01:32:00.100 makes a hard

01:32:01.300 left-hand turn

01:32:02.140 and starts climbing.

01:32:04.060 Not only did he

01:32:04.940 make a sharp turn,

01:32:06.280 but he also climbed

01:32:07.520 3,000 feet

01:32:08.720 in a matter

01:32:09.600 of approximately

01:32:10.320 one minute,

01:32:11.460 which is

01:32:12.120 a very fast

01:32:13.260 rate of climb.

01:32:14.580 This is

01:32:15.400 something that

01:32:16.720 we have never

01:32:17.360 seen before.

01:32:18.520 After the

01:32:19.020 sudden ascent,

01:32:19.740 the plane

01:32:20.280 started a

01:32:20.840 breathtaking descent

01:32:21.840 toward the

01:32:22.560 ground.

01:32:23.600 We were counting

01:32:24.100 down the altitudes

01:32:25.100 and they were

01:32:25.960 descending

01:32:26.460 right at the

01:32:27.720 end at

01:32:28.320 10,000 feet

01:32:29.520 per minute.

01:32:30.560 That is

01:32:31.100 absolutely

01:32:31.700 unheard of

01:32:32.680 for a commercial

01:32:33.800 jet.

01:32:35.180 This is certainly

01:32:35.820 not the way

01:32:36.440 the automatic

01:32:36.980 pilot would have

01:32:37.800 taken you

01:32:38.300 to Kennedy

01:32:38.780 Airport.

01:32:39.640 It is

01:32:40.120 unbelievable

01:32:40.980 for the

01:32:41.540 passenger.

01:32:41.820 Yeah,

01:32:42.260 you would have

01:32:42.700 fucking

01:32:43.060 lost your shit

01:32:44.540 if the pilot

01:32:45.060 drove the plane

01:32:46.320 in that manner.

01:32:46.860 to withstand

01:32:48.660 that type

01:32:49.320 of force

01:32:49.920 as they're

01:32:50.360 descending.

01:32:51.240 They're actually

01:32:51.920 nosing the

01:32:53.260 airplane down

01:32:53.900 and doing it

01:32:54.520 what I would

01:32:55.020 call a

01:32:55.380 power dive.

01:32:58.180 At 9.01 a.m.,

01:33:00.180 United 175

01:33:01.280 is hurtling

01:33:02.460 at more than

01:33:03.060 400 miles per

01:33:04.300 hour toward

01:33:04.860 the Statue of

01:33:05.600 Liberty

01:33:05.880 and New York

01:33:06.580 Harbor.

01:33:07.200 One of the

01:33:07.560 controllers

01:33:07.960 started counting

01:33:08.700 out the

01:33:09.040 altitudes

01:33:09.680 and he says,

01:33:11.200 my God,

01:33:11.900 he's going

01:33:12.260 down at 8,000

01:33:13.080 feet a minute.

01:33:14.040 Now it's

01:33:14.580 10,000 feet

01:33:15.560 a minute

01:33:15.880 and he

01:33:16.840 counted

01:33:17.120 off

01:33:17.600 8,

01:33:19.400 6,

01:33:20.540 4 and he

01:33:21.300 says,

01:33:21.560 my God,

01:33:22.120 he's in

01:33:22.420 the ground

01:33:22.780 on the

01:33:23.020 next step.

01:33:24.140 But he

01:33:24.820 was not.

01:33:25.780 According

01:33:26.180 to the

01:33:26.520 official

01:33:26.820 version,

01:33:27.480 Marwan

01:33:27.860 Elshakey,

01:33:28.600 a 23-year-old

01:33:29.580 who has

01:33:29.880 never flown

01:33:30.420 a jet

01:33:30.720 before in

01:33:31.180 his life,

01:33:31.900 levels the

01:33:32.380 course,

01:33:33.080 visually

01:33:33.360 identifies

01:33:33.940 the target

01:33:34.560 and performs

01:33:35.360 a spectacular

01:33:36.160 banking

01:33:36.700 maneuver

01:33:37.100 that brings

01:33:37.720 the 767

01:33:38.500 to hit

01:33:39.080 the South

01:33:39.500 Tower

01:33:39.840 under the

01:33:40.420 world's

01:33:40.860 astonished

01:33:41.360 eyes.

01:33:45.880 Now I'm

01:33:47.340 going to

01:33:47.520 play this

01:33:47.840 part out

01:33:48.200 because I

01:33:48.440 don't want

01:33:48.640 to interrupt

01:33:48.960 guys and

01:33:49.500 then I'll

01:33:49.840 give you

01:33:50.120 my thoughts

01:33:50.640 on this

01:33:50.960 situation

01:33:51.480 after.

01:33:52.900 So I'll

01:33:53.100 play this

01:33:53.620 whole

01:33:53.780 hijacker part

01:33:54.400 out as

01:33:55.400 far as

01:33:55.860 their ability

01:33:56.820 to fly,

01:33:57.840 the skills

01:33:58.300 that were

01:33:58.560 used to

01:33:59.060 conduct

01:33:59.420 these

01:33:59.660 attacks,

01:34:00.080 the flight

01:34:08.800 gymnastics 0.99

01:34:09.400 that they

01:34:09.800 were able

01:34:10.040 to pull

01:34:10.360 off on

01:34:10.920 this

01:34:11.320 attack.

01:34:12.880 Question.

01:34:13.700 Marwan

01:34:14.140 Elshakey had

01:34:15.060 never flown

01:34:15.620 a jet

01:34:15.940 before in

01:34:16.440 his life,

01:34:17.060 let alone

01:34:17.620 a huge

01:34:18.180 airliner.

01:34:18.940 How was

01:34:19.280 he able

01:34:19.600 to perform

01:34:20.180 a sense

01:34:20.640 of 3,000

01:34:21.460 feet per

01:34:21.940 minute and

01:34:22.440 plunges of

01:34:23.060 10,000

01:34:23.640 feet per

01:34:24.120 minute while

01:34:24.780 keeping full

01:34:25.400 control of

01:34:25.940 the plane?

01:34:26.580 And why

01:34:27.060 would he

01:34:27.360 want to

01:34:27.720 take such

01:34:28.200 unnecessary

01:34:28.700 risks,

01:34:29.460 including

01:34:29.800 collisions

01:34:30.240 with other

01:34:30.800 airliners

01:34:31.440 instead of

01:34:32.120 flying safely

01:34:32.800 with the

01:34:33.200 autopilot

01:34:33.780 towards the

01:34:34.380 intended

01:34:34.780 target?

01:34:37.080 Ziad Jara,

01:34:37.920 the alleged

01:34:38.380 hijacker of

01:34:39.140 Flight 93,

01:34:40.140 wasn't known

01:34:40.640 for his

01:34:40.980 piloting skills

01:34:41.720 either.

01:34:42.540 As reported

01:34:43.000 by the 9-11

01:34:43.660 Commission

01:34:44.100 in July

01:34:44.700 2001,

01:34:45.740 he had

01:34:46.000 asked to

01:34:46.440 fly the

01:34:46.960 Hudson

01:34:47.220 Corridor

01:34:47.760 near Manhattan

01:34:48.460 with a

01:34:49.000 small private

01:34:49.600 plane.

01:34:50.480 But because

01:34:51.220 Hortman

01:34:51.680 Flight School

01:34:52.340 deemed

01:34:52.700 Jara unfit 1.00

01:34:53.600 to fly

01:34:53.980 solo,

01:34:54.600 he could

01:34:54.840 fly this

01:34:55.340 route only

01:34:56.020 accompanied

01:34:56.480 by an

01:34:56.920 instructor.

01:34:58.680 Yet we

01:34:59.040 are asked

01:34:59.420 to believe

01:34:59.840 that only

01:35:00.200 two months

01:35:00.660 later,

01:35:01.160 the same

01:35:01.540 person was

01:35:02.100 able to

01:35:02.460 fully control

01:35:03.180 a hundred

01:35:03.620 ton airliner

01:35:04.400 and perform

01:35:05.040 some extreme

01:35:05.800 descending

01:35:06.260 maneuvers observed

01:35:07.200 by Cleveland's

01:35:07.940 air traffic

01:35:08.440 controllers.

01:35:09.060 I see this

01:35:09.740 plane climbed

01:35:11.560 up from his

01:35:12.400 assigned altitude

01:35:13.120 of 35,000 feet

01:35:15.080 to 41,000 feet,

01:35:16.580 turned around

01:35:17.260 and aimed

01:35:17.760 right back

01:35:18.600 at where we

01:35:19.200 were and

01:35:21.000 descended

01:35:21.480 rapidly.

01:35:22.060 And when

01:35:22.600 a plane

01:35:23.000 descends

01:35:23.540 too fast,

01:35:24.460 the computer

01:35:25.120 can't keep

01:35:25.660 up with it.

01:35:26.280 Ziad

01:35:27.040 Jarrah

01:35:27.480 had never

01:35:28.000 flown a jet

01:35:28.640 before in

01:35:29.160 his life,

01:35:29.740 let alone

01:35:30.220 a large

01:35:30.740 airliner,

01:35:31.440 and even

01:35:31.760 his experience

01:35:32.500 with small

01:35:33.040 airplanes was

01:35:33.720 rather poor.

01:35:34.680 How could

01:35:35.040 he perform

01:35:35.580 a descent

01:35:36.180 so fast

01:35:37.020 that the

01:35:37.440 computer

01:35:37.840 can't keep

01:35:38.440 up with it

01:35:38.960 while maintaining

01:35:39.660 full control

01:35:40.420 of the plane?

01:35:41.140 And why

01:35:41.560 would he need

01:35:42.060 to take

01:35:42.440 such an

01:35:42.820 unnecessary

01:35:43.280 risk,

01:35:44.000 including

01:35:44.320 collisions

01:35:44.780 with other

01:35:45.240 airplanes,

01:35:45.940 instead of

01:35:46.380 safely flying

01:35:47.080 with the

01:35:47.420 autopilot

01:35:48.000 towards the

01:35:48.720 intended target?

01:35:49.580 But the

01:35:51.400 feat of

01:35:51.680 the century

01:35:52.160 must be

01:35:52.640 awarded to

01:35:53.200 Hani Han

01:35:53.700 Jor,

01:35:54.100 a hopeless

01:35:54.560 amateur who

01:35:55.320 is alleged to

01:35:55.960 have been at

01:35:56.340 the controls

01:35:56.900 of American

01:35:57.580 77.

01:35:59.240 As he finally

01:35:59.900 reached Washington

01:36:00.680 and had the

01:36:01.340 Pentagon in

01:36:01.920 sight,

01:36:02.420 Hani Han

01:36:02.840 Jor did not 0.99

01:36:03.440 make the

01:36:03.820 easy choice

01:36:04.460 and just

01:36:04.940 plunged the

01:36:05.480 plane onto

01:36:06.020 the roofs

01:36:06.480 of the

01:36:06.780 building.

01:36:07.500 He instead

01:36:07.980 disconnected

01:36:08.580 the autopilot

01:36:09.400 and performed

01:36:10.120 a hand-flown

01:36:11.020 high-speed

01:36:11.720 descending

01:36:12.140 maneuver of

01:36:12.780 330 degrees

01:36:14.200 that brought

01:36:14.700 him to lose

01:36:15.280 sight of the

01:36:15.800 target again

01:36:16.520 while forcing

01:36:17.200 him to a

01:36:17.800 much more

01:36:18.280 difficult

01:36:18.620 approach

01:36:19.100 close to

01:36:19.700 the ground.

01:36:21.480 Seen from

01:36:21.900 above,

01:36:22.460 the Pentagon

01:36:22.860 offers some

01:36:23.660 30 acres

01:36:24.340 of unobstructed

01:36:25.200 target.

01:36:26.000 Hitting it

01:36:26.340 anywhere on

01:36:26.940 the roofs

01:36:27.380 would have

01:36:27.900 caused a

01:36:28.480 major devastation

01:36:29.400 and possibly

01:36:30.040 thousands of

01:36:30.700 casualties.

01:36:31.600 Coming in

01:36:32.040 from the

01:36:32.380 side instead,

01:36:33.480 the approach

01:36:33.920 is filled

01:36:34.360 with obstacles

01:36:35.040 and the

01:36:35.600 target is

01:36:36.120 reduced to

01:36:36.620 a tiny

01:36:37.040 strip of

01:36:37.540 cement

01:36:37.860 coming at

01:36:38.480 you at

01:36:38.740 500 miles

01:36:39.600 an hour.

01:36:41.620 So this is

01:36:42.300 an interesting

01:36:42.680 point that

01:36:43.320 if you're

01:36:43.920 really trying

01:36:44.340 to get the

01:36:44.660 most damage,

01:36:45.220 why would

01:36:45.440 you hit it

01:36:45.680 from the

01:36:45.920 side?

01:36:46.160 So that

01:36:46.440 is a good

01:36:46.940 point there.

01:36:47.880 Why?

01:36:48.280 It doesn't

01:36:48.580 make sense.

01:36:51.180 However,

01:36:52.020 seem to have

01:36:52.540 a good

01:36:52.840 explanation

01:36:53.420 for this

01:36:53.960 apparently

01:36:54.460 illogical

01:36:55.240 maneuver.

01:36:56.200 Normalmente

01:36:56.680 l'aereo

01:36:56.980 dovrebbe

01:36:57.220 scendere

01:36:57.760 in picchiata.

01:36:59.240 Allora,

01:36:59.540 si chiede

01:36:59.840 a un pilota

01:37:00.380 e il pilota

01:37:00.820 ti dice

01:37:01.220 subito

01:37:01.680 guarda

01:37:02.240 che

01:37:02.440 quella

01:37:02.800 è la manovra

01:37:03.200 più difficile

01:37:04.080 la fa

01:37:04.520 un pilota

01:37:05.040 esperto.

01:37:06.220 Un pilota

01:37:06.680 di

01:37:07.020 scarsa

01:37:07.880 competenza

01:37:08.740 usa l'aereo

01:37:09.860 come se fosse

01:37:10.420 un camion

01:37:10.860 bomba

01:37:11.260 o si avvola

01:37:11.920 orizzontalmente

01:37:12.860 vola basso

01:37:13.560 centra

01:37:13.940 l'edificio.

01:37:14.620 This very

01:37:15.280 question

01:37:15.720 has already

01:37:16.360 been posed

01:37:16.900 to professional

01:37:17.580 pilots

01:37:18.060 but the

01:37:18.620 answer

01:37:18.940 was not

01:37:19.600 what

01:37:19.840 Atavissimo

01:37:20.420 claims.

01:37:20.920 Se lei

01:37:21.400 dovesse

01:37:21.700 simulare

01:37:22.340 il volo

01:37:22.860 di uno

01:37:23.060 che vuole

01:37:23.320 colpire

01:37:23.620 il piantano

01:37:23.960 la rossa

01:37:24.720 quale sarebbe?

01:37:25.200 Se volessi essere sicuro

01:37:25.760 lo colpirei sicuramente

01:37:27.420 da questa parte qui

01:37:28.480 arrivando qui

01:37:31.540 perché

01:37:31.880 o si colpiscono

01:37:33.060 questi edifici

01:37:33.960 diciamo

01:37:34.640 i primi che vengono

01:37:35.600 oppure si colpiscono

01:37:36.740 gli edifici

01:37:37.360 che sono subito dopo

01:37:38.420 e quindi si crea

01:37:39.100 comunque

01:37:39.480 un elevato danno.

01:37:46.960 Lei

01:37:47.560 che ha

01:37:48.180 tante ore

01:37:48.800 di esperienza

01:37:49.380 di volo

01:37:49.840 riuscirebbe a portare

01:37:51.160 questo aereo

01:37:51.740 negli ultimi

01:37:52.260 500 metri

01:37:53.080 da qui

01:37:53.540 a qui

01:37:54.480 a 850 km

01:37:56.180 all'ora?

01:37:56.760 Dovrei metterci

01:37:57.580 veramente

01:37:58.060 tanto tanto

01:37:58.580 impegno.

01:37:59.380 La prima difficoltà

01:38:00.300 sarebbe quella

01:38:01.120 di volare

01:38:02.360 attaccato a terra

01:38:03.520 e

01:38:04.100 lo so per esperienza

01:38:05.500 diretta

01:38:05.920 avendo fatto

01:38:06.500 volo militare

01:38:07.160 a bassa quota

01:38:07.760 e

01:38:08.320 il terreno

01:38:08.940 corre via

01:38:09.560 una velocità

01:38:10.540 incredibile

01:38:11.240 quindi

01:38:11.540 credo che

01:38:12.240 chi ha fatto

01:38:13.240 questa attività

01:38:15.400 possa

01:38:16.140 capire cosa vuol dire

01:38:17.440 stare

01:38:17.800 a 10 metri

01:38:18.860 da terra

01:38:19.140 5 metri

01:38:19.680 da terra

01:38:20.020 con un aeroplano

01:38:20.640 che pesa 0.80

01:38:21.060 110-120 tonnellate

01:38:22.460 lanciata

01:38:22.880 a 900 km

01:38:23.580 all'ora

01:38:23.960 basta toccare

01:38:24.960 la cosa 0.80

01:38:25.360 e schizza via

01:38:26.020 come si fa

01:38:27.420 a pilotare

01:38:28.100 un aereo

01:38:28.640 a 530

01:38:29.320 miglia

01:38:29.560 all'ora

01:38:29.820 a raso

01:38:30.260 a terra

01:38:30.580 è possibile?

01:38:31.260 Come diceva il collega

01:38:32.140 è estremamente

01:38:33.440 difficile

01:38:34.100 è complesso

01:38:35.960 anche perché

01:38:36.580 un piccolissimo

01:38:37.880 intervento

01:38:38.480 sul piano

01:38:38.800 verticale

01:38:39.400 fa salire

01:38:40.060 o scendere

01:38:40.460 l'aeroplano

01:38:41.020 per cui

01:38:42.060 anche un pilota

01:38:43.240 abbastanza

01:38:43.780 allenato

01:38:44.320 avrebbe

01:38:45.280 delle grosse

01:38:45.880 difficoltà

01:38:46.560 le debunker

01:38:47.600 insiste

01:38:48.100 che la manuver

01:38:48.740 sarebbe

01:38:49.100 anche per

01:38:50.300 un amatore

01:38:50.800 come

01:38:51.060 Hanni

01:38:51.340 Hann

01:38:51.560 Giur

01:38:51.800 la manuver

01:38:52.580 è tutta

01:38:53.540 altra

01:38:53.800 che

01:38:54.000 acrobatica

01:38:54.780 è una

01:38:55.100 virata

01:38:55.460 molto

01:38:55.940 ampia

01:38:56.540 ci sono giornalisti

01:38:57.540 in Pilibar

01:38:58.580 che dicono

01:38:59.120 che

01:38:59.540 vanno

01:38:59.720 vanno

01:38:59.960 vanno

01:39:00.200 fare

01:39:00.300 il testo

01:39:42.680 è

01:39:44.100 il question

01:39:44.820 sembra

01:39:45.500 comunque

01:39:46.500 perché

01:39:46.980 è

01:39:47.380 il tutto

01:39:47.700 bisogna NBC

01:39:49.800 plane came in so low that it eclipsed some of the light poles as it was flying at ground level.

01:39:54.680 Secondly, the documentary doesn't offer precise indications on the speeds used during the

01:39:58.680 simulation. In a more accurate simulation, done with a pilot with an experience similar to Hani

01:40:03.560 Hanjour, the results were quite different. Okay, you're 311 knots. You want to go all the way

01:40:09.560 around? Yeah, because I want to get back towards the city here. You can feel it right now. You see

01:40:14.200 the g-forces? Yeah. All right. Go for it. Go towards it. You're 360 knots. There we go. You're 424 knots.

01:40:22.440 And again, your radius of turn is becoming so great. Yeah, it's hard. Keep it turning. Keep it

01:40:28.680 turning. Keep it turning. Keep it turning. Now go down. Dive for it. Yeah. There's 500 knots.

01:40:37.800 Keep it going. It's very touchy. I can understand. Now you're going on your back.

01:40:41.800 You're going on your back. Keep it rolling. Keep it rolling.

01:40:47.640 You hit something, but obviously it was not that building.

01:40:51.000 370 knots. Oh, come on. Hang on. I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him.

01:40:57.880 440 knots. You're going on your back. I missed them. I missed again. There's no denying. It's

01:41:06.280 incredibly difficult, especially with that turn that the NTSB data said probably 77 made and then

01:41:12.600 he levels off and then pretty much just guns it straight in. That straight path right in is really

01:41:17.560 incredibly difficult. Correct. I couldn't do it. You couldn't do it. Not at that speed. Not at 500

01:41:25.000 knots. In fact, the air traffic controllers were so impressed. Any pilots in the chat, man, come in and

01:41:30.760 let me know. How difficult is that maneuver that they actually pull off? But that's a pretty compelling

01:41:34.680 argument. But again, I'm going to address all this at the end. I want to make sure that we get

01:41:39.800 through this pilot portion so you guys kind of understand. So my point will be a little bit

01:41:44.360 more articulate. It addresses some of it. Not all of it. They're making some good arguments here.

01:41:48.680 With the speed of the maneuver, they thought they were looking at a military jet.

01:41:52.600 But nobody knew that was a commercial flight at the time. Nobody knew that was American 77.

01:41:57.160 What did you think? It was a military flight of some time? I thought it was a military flight.

01:42:00.600 It was really moving fast. It was moving very fast. Like a military aircraft might move at a low altitude.

01:42:05.160 Air traffic controller Daniel O'Brien stated, the speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned,

01:42:10.840 we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane.

01:42:17.000 You don't fly 757 in that manner. It's unsafe. Several military and civil pilots have expressed

01:42:23.560 their skepticism about the maneuver. Commander Ralph Kolstad is a former fighter pilot,

01:42:28.600 air flight instructor, and a retired commercial pilot with 27 years of experience. At the Pentagon,

01:42:34.040 he stated, the pilot of the Boeing 757 did quite a feat of flying. I have 6,000 hours of flying in

01:42:40.200 Boeing 757s and 767s and could not have flown in the way the flight path was described. Commander Ted

01:42:46.760 Muga, former civil and military pilot. I just can't imagine an amateur even being able to come

01:42:52.200 close to performing a maneuver of that nature. Captain Russ Wittenberg, a former fighter pilot

01:42:57.720 and an airline pilot for 35 years. For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is

01:43:03.320 impossible. There is not one chance in a thousand. To expect the alleged airplane to run these maneuvers

01:43:09.320 with a total amateur at the controls is simply ludicrous.

01:43:12.680 To be able to fly that curving, descending, high airspeed trajectory into a very low building,

01:43:22.040 you have to be Chuck Yeager to fly that trajectory. Not only was Hani Han Jor no Chuck Yeager,

01:43:28.360 but apparently he was a terrible pilot with small planes as well. An instructor from one of his flight

01:43:33.320 schools stated, Hani Han Jor was not someone cut out to be a pilot. He had no motivation, a poor understanding

01:43:39.480 of the basic principles of aviation and poor judgment combined with poor technical skills.

01:43:44.680 The debunkers contend that Han Jor had obtained a regular pilot's license and therefore he had to

01:43:49.880 be able to fly. But it is exactly because of that license that major suspicions on Han Jor kept emerging.

01:43:57.000 In a 2002 article called A Trainee Noted for Incompetence, the New York Times wrote that Han Jor

01:44:02.520 was reported to the aviation agency after the instructors had found his piloting skills so

01:44:07.240 shoddy and his grasp of English so inadequate that they questioned whether his pilot's license was

01:44:11.800 genuine. The article concludes quoting a former employee at the flight school who said,

01:44:16.760 I'm still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all.

01:44:22.280 The manager of another flight school in Phoenix said, I couldn't believe he had a commercial license

01:44:27.000 of any kind with the skills that he had. At yet another flight school in Maryland, instructors

01:44:32.280 found he had trouble controlling and landing the single engine Cessna 172. This was confirmed in this

01:44:38.520 radio interview by Nila Sagadevan, a pilot and an aeronautical engineer. I got to say something

01:44:43.320 about Hani Han Jor. I've spoken with two of his flight instructors. This guy could not solo a Cessna 150.

01:44:52.280 It's a little single engine two seat trainer. And what I mean by solo, it's a pilot's first time out

01:44:58.520 without anyone else in the cockpit with him. It's the most simple, most fundamental flying exercise

01:45:04.200 one can engage. You're seated inside the aircraft, you hit the bar, you take off, make a couple of 90

01:45:09.480 degree turns, maximum altitude of around 900, 2000 feet, come back and land. One. You're saying this, uh,

01:45:17.320 alleged hijacker, honey hunter could not solo 150. He could not solo. In fact, one of his flight

01:45:23.400 instructors, and I quote him, he said, the man could not fly at all. How could an amateur who was

01:45:30.040 deemed unable to fly solo in a Cessna 150 had a poor understanding of the basic principles of aviation

01:45:36.440 and had never sat once in the cockpit of a 757 suddenly become able to control such a large airliner

01:45:42.520 flying at top speeds? And even assuming he was able to reach Washington with the autopilot,

01:45:48.040 why would he want to disconnect it and hand fly the plane for another eight long minutes,

01:45:52.760 performing a totally unnecessary descending maneuver that a would have drastically increased his chances

01:45:58.200 of an unwanted crash, b would have increased the danger of being intercepted, c would have made him

01:46:03.640 lose sight of the target again, d would have forced him to a much more difficult approach near the ground,

01:46:09.320 e would have shrunk the target to a tiny strip of cement, f would have limited the possible

01:46:14.600 damage to the external rings only when he could have maximized the damage and ensured the most

01:46:19.160 spectacular outcome of the mission by plunging the plane onto the pentagon's roofs from above.

01:46:28.360 It should be noted that such an illogical maneuver from a terrorist's point of view becomes almost

01:46:33.160 now my thing guys is uh one way to explain this is were the pilots alive okay now i i know from the

01:46:42.920 commission report some of them say and i'm looking at it here on the laptop that um the pilots so the

01:46:49.240 pilots were killed but do we know when they were killed was it you know did they kill them did they

01:46:53.800 slit their throats right before or you know the maneuvers were done or you know it there's more questions

01:47:00.280 here because obviously we know that these guys were inexperienced pilots but the pilots that um that

01:47:05.880 they hijacked they could have been the ones pulling some of these maneuvers because obviously they're

01:47:10.280 commercial pilots they're way more experienced so i know on some of the flights the pilots have been

01:47:15.560 killed uh but we don't know for sure so again more questions that need to be answered but yes it's very

01:47:22.760 interesting how mediocre pilots right uh if actually there were the ones behind the steering wheel

01:47:30.040 how would that be possible mandatory if seen from the opposite side of the chessboard if the

01:47:35.160 operation was in fact orchestrated by someone within the military no one would want a 757 to 0.82

01:47:40.680 plunge from the sky onto the pentagon's roof that would cause a major devastation cost thousands of

01:47:45.880 lives and possibly kill generals and even the secretary of defense to justify the claim of having been

01:47:51.960 attacked all that was needed was a strike on the side wall in a less populated area away from the top

01:47:57.800 brass offices where the number of casualties would be kept to a minimum maybe it's just a coincidence

01:48:04.120 but the area of the pentagon that was hit with the strange maneuver not only satisfied all these

01:48:08.920 requisites but had just been reinforced in order to withstand a terrorist attack exactly where the plane

01:48:14.920 went in was an area that had recently been uh redeveloped with very heavy uh blast walls and

01:48:23.000 fire walls all the outside windows had been equipped with uh kevlar coating to guard against blast this

01:48:29.240 portion of the building that had been remodeled blast heavy blast walls put in and the old portion had

01:48:35.000 already been vacated uh in preparations of the remodeling effort and the number of dead is probably

01:48:41.800 considerably less than it would have been if this part of the pentagon had been up to full staff

01:48:47.320 fortunately too this is exactly the opposite side of all the critical command centers in the pentagon

01:48:53.800 the secretary of defense's office the chairman of the joint chief's office the national military command

01:48:59.800 where some of the most critical military decisions are made fortunately they were all on the other side

01:49:04.680 of the building the renovated section had just been reinforced by floor-to-ceiling steel beams that ran

01:49:10.280 through all five floors when the building section collapsed the structure was held together by the web of

01:49:16.200 six by six inch steel columns between these columns was a kevlar-like mesh similar to the material in

01:49:22.440 bulletproof vests which kept masonry from becoming shrapnel in case of an explosion the suspicion that

01:49:28.840 a strike on this section of the building was expected doesn't rest on the major beefing up of the

01:49:33.720 structure alone apparently the rumor of a strike on the external ring had already been circulating among

01:49:39.560 the top ranks of the military on september 11 jim miklizewski was the nbc correspondent at the pentagon

01:49:46.520 the first time i heard the word terrorism out of any u.s official uh came shortly after the second plane

01:49:53.160 head head hit and uh and i bumped into a u.s military intelligence official and i said look what have you got

01:50:03.000 and he said obviously this is clearly an act of terrorism and then he got very close to me and almost

01:50:12.200 silent for a few seconds and he leaned in and he said this attack was so well coordinated

01:50:19.160 that if i were you i would stay off the e-ring where our nbc office was the outer ring of the pentagon

01:50:26.920 the rest of the day because we're next

01:50:35.320 question even if someone could predict that the pentagon would become a target one would imagine a

01:50:40.440 plane to plunge from the skies onto the roofs of the building why would anyone suggest to stay away

01:50:45.800 from the external ring in particular unless he knew in advance what was going to happen

01:50:54.360 while we were asked to believe that 19 islamic terrorists were responsible for the hijackings

01:50:59.080 no one has ever produced a single image of these alleged terrorists boarding the four hijacked

01:51:03.720 airplanes all major airports in the world have security cameras practically everywhere covering every

01:51:09.800 public area of the airport 24 hours a day but the only image of the terrorists released after 9 11

01:51:16.040 was this shot from a security camera showing alleged hijackers abdulaziz alomari and mohammed atta

01:51:22.360 going through a security checkpoint the two men however are not boarding flight american 11 from boston

01:51:28.440 to los angeles but a previous connecting flight from portland maine to boston in the early hours of september

01:51:34.280 11th only in 2005 were some images of the terrorists in one of them i remember seeing some

01:51:39.720 of these footage this footage uh before three airports released they showed the group that

01:51:45.560 allegedly hijacked flight 77 passing through security checks at washington dulles but the

01:51:51.560 timestamp which is always embedded in security camera recordings was either cropped out or absent

01:51:56.600 altogether this means that the video could have been shot at any time prior to 9 11 possibly during a dry run

01:52:03.320 the terrorists did along the same routes in fact the 9 11 commission has stated that many of the

01:52:09.000 terrorists including atta shaky jara hanjur hazmi took cross-country surveillance flights early in the

01:52:15.480 summer there is another element that makes these images suspicious in 2001 most security cameras

01:52:22.200 functioned as time-lapse photography recording an average of one frame per second this video instead

01:52:28.200 is a continuous recording similar to those obtained with regular consumer type camcorders

01:52:34.760 in any case the fact remains that in 10 years we have never seen a single image proving that the 19

01:52:40.680 alleged terrorists boarded the hijacked airplanes to address this blatant oddity the 9 11 commission wrote

01:52:48.280 that the security checkpoint in newark like the checkpoints in boston lacked closed circuit television

01:52:53.800 surveillance but in a los angeles times article dated september 13 2001 former fbi assistant director

01:53:01.080 lewis shaliro is quoted saying that fbi agents examined footage from dozens of cameras at the three

01:53:07.160 airports where the terrorists boarded the aircraft we also have the account by david brent a technical

01:53:12.600 information engineer who worked for the company that had installed the security cameras at dulles

01:53:17.400 after the 9 11 attacks brent stated i was part of a team that had the laborious task of reviewing

01:53:22.680 all the video from the airport that's every frame from over 300 cameras with 30 days of retention time

01:53:29.240 the task took three weeks of 15 hour days so where are the images of the terrorists

01:53:36.120 even if the checkpoints from two of the three airports didn't have cameras we should have dozens

01:53:40.920 of images of the 19 terrorists standing in line for the check-in getting their boarding passes moving

01:53:46.840 through the lounge areas making phone calls using stairs and conveyor belts visiting the duty-free

01:53:52.520 shops or having a snack before departure each of these premises has also plenty of cameras of

01:53:58.280 their own which are used to keep an eye on their customers and then we should have seen the terrorists

01:54:03.960 seated in the departure lounges waiting for the boarding call and finally proceeding through the

01:54:08.920 gates that would take them to the airplanes but we have never seen any of this question why were we

01:54:15.960 never shown a single image of the 19 alleged hijackers moving through the different areas of the three

01:54:21.720 airports on the morning of september 11. since washington dulles did have security cameras at the

01:54:27.800 checkpoints why were we never shown the properly time stamped images of the five terrorists boarding flight

01:54:33.880 77 on the morning of september 11. not only do we not have a single image of the 19 hijackers at the

01:54:43.800 three airports on september 11. but we also don't have a single sound bite of their voices from the

01:54:49.480 four cockpit voice recorders with four hijackings that lasted between 18 and 41 minutes each we should

01:54:55.800 have some two hours of continuous recordings of what happened in the cockpits of the four airplanes

01:55:01.160 we should have heard the struggles of the terrorists storming in and overcoming the pilots

01:55:05.640 and then we should have heard their conversations in arabic as they try to figure out where they are and

01:55:10.040 how to get from there to their designated targets but we never heard any of that for

01:55:16.920 oh oh yeah interesting stuff man interesting stuff like i said i'm just

01:55:21.960 sent back watching this with y'all american 11 the plane that hit the first tower we were told that the

01:55:27.080 cockpit voice recorder was never found for united 175 the plane that hit the second tower we were also

01:55:34.200 told that the cockpit voice recorder was never found for the flight that hit the pentagon we were

01:55:39.640 told that the voice recorder was found but it was damaged to the point that the contents were

01:55:44.040 unusable this is very curious as black boxes are built specifically to withstand extremely high

01:55:50.040 temperatures and the most violent of impacts planes have two so-called black boxes actually painted

01:55:56.360 orange to make them more visible they're kept at the back of the plane two shells of stainless steel

01:56:02.840 and a heat protective material shield the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder they can

01:56:09.000 withstand pressure down to 6000 meters and heat of 1100 degrees centigrade for united 93 the voice recorder was found

01:56:18.680 we were told and was in good condition but for unknown reasons the recording was never made public

01:56:25.000 in december 2001 members of the victim's families formally asked the fbi to release the voice

01:56:30.440 recordings from the cockpit of flight 93 but the fbi replied while we empathize with the grieving families

01:56:37.000 we do not believe that the horror captured on the cockpit voice recording will console them in any way

01:56:42.440 at the end of the day the only sound bites from the alleged hijackers we ever heard are a couple of

01:56:47.560 clips recorded by air traffic controllers on the ground as the terrorists apparently punched the wrong keys

01:56:53.160 talking to their passengers and as you guys know uh america ada was pretty much the mastermind

01:57:00.120 of the attacks uh mohammed ada curiously the hijacker from another flight made the exact same mistake 0.83

01:57:23.160 but these recordings could have been transmitted by anyone and from anywhere they don't prove that

01:57:27.960 the terrorists were actually aboard the planes in fact the opposite suspicion arises in this case

01:57:33.640 just as the portland images seem to be the perfect substitute for the complete lack of images of the

01:57:38.680 19 terrorists at the three airports these short sound bites apparently generated by mistake

01:57:44.600 seem to be the perfect substitute for the complete lack of conversations from the four cockpit voice recorders

01:57:53.160 the situation becomes even more implausible if we look at the actual flight data recorders the devices

01:57:58.760 that store the technical information from the plane during the flight for the two airplanes that hit

01:58:03.320 the towers again we are told that the flight data recorders were never found in the months following

01:58:09.320 the destruction of the twin towers every ounce of rubble that left ground zero was meticulously combed

01:58:14.920 through in the effort to recover every possible human remain uh that's when we decided the very least that we

01:58:20.920 can do if we can't bring them home to their families alive then we'll stick it out and bring them home to

01:58:26.360 their families there wasn't a piece of rubble that left that pit that wasn't gone over with a fine

01:58:32.200 tooth comb this practice went on until the end of the removal operations big pile that you see in the

01:58:37.640 background there is what remains of one of the towers a tractor basically comes in takes a shovel full of it

01:58:46.680 and then he feathers it out across the field out there the guys take rates and they rake through

01:58:53.000 it's very tedious but we found we find bones constantly as if that weren't enough the same

01:58:58.840 search was repeated at the fresh kills landfill in new jersey every single piece of debris having

01:59:04.520 already been combed through at ground zero went through three more passes under the careful eyes of

01:59:09.720 officers and agents of the fbi and the nypd yet we are asked to believe that not one but four bright

01:59:17.160 orange practically indestructible voice and data recorders eluded a search so meticulous that it was

01:59:22.680 able to recover dozens of watches banknotes personal documents and even buckets of coins

01:59:28.760 for the that is interesting other two flights the one that hit the pentagon and the one that crashed

01:59:34.520 in pennsylvania the flight data recorders were found we were told and were in good condition it's from

01:59:40.600 these two black boxes that the animations depicting the full flight of american 77 in united 93 were

01:59:47.080 extracted these two black boxes however pose a big problem every flight data recorder carries a metal

01:59:54.120 plaque indicating the exact model and serial number of that device this allows a flight data recorder to

02:00:00.840 always be matched to the plane it was mounted on while providing some important technical information

02:00:07.000 as explained by the ntsb the serial number is used to identify when a recorder manufacturer switched

02:00:13.400 from a certain memory configuration to another this information is necessary to perform the correct

02:00:18.920 recovery of the data in virtually every accident report filed by the ntsb in the last 20 years both

02:00:26.280 the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder's serial numbers are listed but in the

02:00:31.640 reports from flight 77 and flight 93 for some reason they are not an independent researcher has

02:00:38.360 filed several freedom of information act requests with the ntsb the federal aviation administration and

02:00:44.520 the fbi requesting information on the missing serial numbers but his requests were always denied

02:00:50.600 as no one has ever released the serial numbers of the two flight data recorders it's impossible to

02:00:56.760 know whether they came from flight 77 and flight 93 or from a totally different source all in all we

02:01:04.120 have this paradoxical situation where the contents of six black boxes out of eight were never released
