During the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda-affiliated hijackers flew two Boeing 767 jets which weighed around a quarter million pounds each at 430mph+, one into each of the Twin Towers; between 16,400 and 18,000 people were in the Twin Towers when they were struck. The fires from... the impacts were intensified by the airliners burning jet fuel along with combustible office materials at 700-1000ft in the air with high winds blasting through the multiple huge gaping holes. This blast furnace like environment weakened the unique skeletal beam structure along with the initial vaporized fuel explosion damage to the buildings' structural columns, ultimately causing both towers to collapse. The attacks killed 2,606 people in and around the towers, as well as all 157 on board the two aircraft. Falling debris from the towers, combined with unmitigated fires in several surrounding buildings that were initiated by the rapid compression of over 1 million square feet of interior air during the towers collapse which blasted out around 1 million tons of debris that destroyed all of all the WTC complex's buildings, including 7 World Trade Center, and caused catastrophic damage to 10 other large structures. Fires continued to burn for 3 months afterwards, and the medical examiner's office continues to use DNA analysis to identify victims' remains. In 2017, Scott Michael Johnson became the 1,642nd person to be identified as a victim of the attacks.show more

Some of the Happy and Sad Moments from History ~ A Thread🧵 Historical Moments 1. Diddy and Kate Moss

“It's the nature of the world that most people have moved on, but the people directly involved with 9/11, for them, twice a day it's 9/11.” - Robert Reeg, former FDNY firefighter

@itswpceo And they just happened to find the terrorists ID’s after the fires? BWA ha ha

Yes there were aircraft parts, human bodies, as well as papers and such for blocks considering the windy conditions 700-1000 ft up after the initial explosion scattered debris for thousands of feet. According to testimony by Susan Ginsberg, a staff member of the National Commission on Terrorist attacks upon the United States, in the January 26, 2004, Public Hearing: Four of the hijackers' passports have survived in whole or in part. Two were recovered from the crash site of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania. These are the passports of Ziad Jarrah and Saeed al Ghamdi. One belonged to a hijacker on American Airlines flight 11. This is the passport of Satam al Suqami. A passerby picked it up and gave it to a NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed. A fourth passport was recovered from luggage that did not make it from a Portland flight to Boston on to the connecting flight which was American Airlines Flight 11. This is the passport of Abdulaziz al-Omari. In addition to these four, some digital copies of the hijackers passports were recovered in post-9/11 operations. Two of the passports that have survived, those of Satam al-Suqami and Abdulaziz al-Omari, were clearly doctored. These passports were manipulated in a fraudulent manner in ways that have been associated with al Qaeda.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families... They still live with this nightmare on a daily basis.. They just want the truth. While some of what you say may be that... You forgot to mention the thermite demolition charges that were planted in the buildings for the months leading up to the attack.. Of which the evidence is daming.

I was on the early internet including Newground way before Youtube existed and saw the "thermite" and "nano-thermite" conspiracies materialize within a month of 9/11, along with hundreds of other flavors of what would become "truthers" with a large number of the nutjobs ultimately founding Q conspiracies

@itswpceo Yeah, one keeps telling oneself this is "truth".

@itswpceo You just spouting off? Or do you have a video backing up anything you "believe"? I'd like to hear it

@itswpceo 9/11 second plane Part of wing disappears *before* it hits the tower Angle of plane doesn't change significantly Yes, people saw a "plane", but it was a hologram At this time, a hologram of such scale was experimental and it glitched

Nope, that's an artifact from 2001 era shaky handheld consumer camera being used for distance filming as shown in the first video. Not to mention codec errors and compression errors from subsequent analog and digital copying-also very common in 23 year old popular videos. The second video is from another angle from a distance The third video of Flight 11 impacting at 430mph+ was recorded on a more professional camera by 2 brothers who were filming a documentary on the NYFD

@itswpceo Controlled explosions to bring the towers down. You can’t convince me otherwise.
