Question
Why did the USA collapse its own towers in NY?
Answer
I do hope you stop to read this. I have a threepart response to what you have posted. Check esp. point .brbr Assuming all these details are accurate and significant but see pt !, why would such a set of coincidences suggest a U.S. government conspiracy?? brbrFor one thing, it is hard to conceive HOW the government could possibly orchestrate such things as these NUMBER coincidences which would be quite a different thing from being complicit in the attacks. And even if they could WHY would they do so? It has NOTHING to do with the attacks themselves.. AND, if the theory is correct, it would amount to deliberately placing all sorts evidence of their plot out in the open. Why in the world would a conspiracy which is all about HIDING what theyre doing or have done do such a boneheaded thing?!brbrbr Dont know exactly where you read these things in fact, its going around in a current email that combines several different emails spread beginning as early as two days after . But I urge you PLEASE to adopt the following procedure whenever you read an email or web story with such great claims recognize that it may be a hoax and check it out, either by visiting some of the top urban legend checking web sites snopes. org is a good one, but there are several others, or just do a web search with some striking termphrase from the story along with the expression quoturban legendquot... which should lead you to entries on the leading sites that weigh the claims and let you know whether it is clearly TRUE or FALSE or UNDETERMINEDMIXED.brbrbr In fact, if you look carefully at the items in your list, you will discover that brbra many of them are rather insignificant, and the sort of thing one could find for ANY story with MANY different numbers, if they set about to do so.brsee this in a humorous response to the original emailbrhttphometown.aol.comdavepawsoneleveabrbrb several, esp. the more striking details, are either manipulated to get the results desired OR are simply factually WRONG!!brbrSome examplesbrbrquotRamsin Yuseb The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in has lettersquotbr CONTRIVED there are MANY different ways his name is transliterated from Arabic into English... the email conveniently chose one that quotworksquot for its own purposesbrbrquotFlight which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying passengersquotbr INCORRECT there were passengers.brbrquotThe total number of victims inside all the hijacked planes was . quotbr INCORRECT the total, excluding the hijackers was adding the hijackers makes , so that still wont work!brbrquotThe Madrid bombing took place on . quotbr CONTRIVED... why do you choose to add ONLY the month and day digits for , but ALL the digits for the March attacks? Note there are THREE or MORE easy options for any date gt OR , OR . You might prove ANYTHING this way!brbrquotThe following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy bookbrquotFor it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. .. quotbrquotThat verse is number . of the Quranquotbr NOT SO there is NO SUCH VERSE in the Quran!brAnd if you were to list the reference this way, the verse would bebrquotBut if they idolaters repent and establish worship and pay the poordue, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge. quotbrhttpwww.usc.edudeptMSAquran.qmabrbrquotThe tragedy of Madrid happened days after the Twin Towers incidentquotbr NOT SO. Actually it was days the email author apparently forgot to include leap day February brbrquotQ NY . This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towersquotbr NO. This was NOT the of ANY of the flights!brbrIncidentally the quottowersquot symbol produced in Wingdings by this method is actually a printed PAGE, not a building. Just type quotquot in Windings font and this will be obvious.brbrbrbrFor the whole email, see more atbrhttpwww.snopes.comrumorscoincidenceabrbrFor the quotelevensquot seebrhttpwww.snopes.comrumorselevens.aspabrbrOn the quotWingdingsquot claim, seebrhttpwww.snopes.comrumorswingdings.aabrbrFor more on the whole quotgovernment conspiracyquot claim, I highly recommend the book published by Popular Mechanics Debunking Myths. Sadly many conspiracy theorists dont even try to interact with its explanations and corrections. As a Newsweek article last year noted, theyve even gone as far as trying to simply dismiss the book because the last name of ONE of the EIGHT contributors to the original Popular Mechanics article is the same as that of a former member of the Bush administration... though it even turns out that the two men are unrelated!brbrbrADDED Sorry that folks like DazMaz have clearly not even looked at the book I mention with its MANY expert sources... or they would know, for example, that quotpullquot is NOT a demolition term as demolition experts tell us but a firefighters term for pulling their crews out of a dangerously unstable structure... and that the seismographic readings are evidence AGAINST a demolition e.g., . and . are almost nothing!!
