Twin Towers September 11th. Who really blew up the Twin Towers in New York? Memorial and new World Trade Center

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

Remains turned to dust

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Controlled explosion" version

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

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

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

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

They just burned out!

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

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

The photo was taken before the Pentagon collapsed. Where is the plane, where is the giant hole in the wall? The photo shows a small burning hole, but there was no way a plane with a wingspan of approx. 38 meters.

According to bin Laden, units of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda have nothing to do with the events of September 11 in New York and Washington. The terrorist said that the hijackings were organized by enemies of Islam and Christianity. “Countries such as Israel, India, Russia and Serbia could organize terrorist attacks. We should not ignore the fact that Jews are dissatisfied with the election of George Bush as president,” bin Laden said in an interview with the Pakistani newspaper Takbir. (eleven)
2002 - Bush and his junta managed to redirect America's anger from Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein. This is one of the greatest PR stunts in history. According to a recent public opinion poll, one in two Americans now believes that Saddam Hussein was involved in the attack on the World Trade Center. The stupid American masses have once again shown that they will believe anything they are told on TV. What country is still preparing an insidious attack on America? (5)
Have you ever seen photos or videos of a plane near the Pentagon or one that crashed near the forest? No, no one saw them, because... they don't exist. But there is filming where the “crash” site is simply scorched earth. These planes didn't exist! Here are 2 photos of the Pentagon immediately after the explosion.

Boeing height approx. Somehow only the first floor was breached by 13 meters, although the height of the building is approx. 24 meters).

Left: apparently the plane folded its wings and disappeared without a trace into a small hole. Right: This is what the impact hole should have looked like.

Nero set fire to Rome to blame Christians.
1964 - The Americans pretend that they were fired upon by the Vietnamese. This becomes the official reason for the start of the war, which claimed the lives of 58,000 American soldiers and 3.1 million Vietnamese soldiers and civilians.
1979 - Italy. The CIA creates terrorist groups in Italy that were supposed to discredit the pro-communist Red Brigades. For this purpose, attacks were carried out on civilians, which were then attributed to the communists. In 1979, there were about 2,000 assassination attempts.
1983 – Grenada. The reason for the start of the US military operation was the taking of American students hostage. US President Ronald Reagan\Ronald Reagan stated that “the Cuban-Soviet occupation of Grenada was being prepared,” and also that weapons depots were being created in Grenada that could be used by international terrorists. After the capture of the island Marine Corps USA (1983), it turned out that the students were not held hostage, and the warehouses were filled with old Soviet weapons. Before the invasion began, the United States announced that there were 1.2 thousand Cuban commandos on the island. Afterwards it turned out that there were no more than 200 Cubans, a third of them were civilian specialists.
The Americans failed in an operation during which they wanted to detonate a nuclear warhead at an Iraqi military plant. Perhaps in order to later inform the world about the dire danger of Iraq and send troops there, but the exact details are unknown.(14)
1993 - 1st attempt by American intelligence agencies to undermine the old and dilapidated World Trade Center. The explosives were incorrectly positioned and did not work as expected. All the blame was placed on Islamic terrorists.

1995 - State Department bombing in Oklahoma City. Again the handwriting of the special services, again innocent people are accused of being guilty (in the end, the case is pinned on one person who is executed). There is no proper panic, therefore it is not possible to push through the New World Order. But 58% of Americans agree with the reduction of their rights for the sake of a more effective fight against terrorism, which is what is happening. After the bombing, President Clinton legalized the right of the police to commit any crimes against the constitution in the interests of fighting terrorism. As in the case of the World Trade Center, certain categories of workers were warned in advance about the impending “terrorist attack” and did not come to work. In this case, these were all employees of the Bureau for Sales Control alcoholic drinks, tobacco products and weapons."
September 11, 2001 - 2 planes crash into the same World Trade Center. The government claims that there were 4 planes, although there is not a single eyewitness to their crash, nor are there any photographs or videos. The shock was strong enough to persuade 94% of Americans to justify military action "even if many thousands of innocent civilians were killed." A new redivision of the world in favor of the United States begins, which the Americans proclaimed on September 11, 1991. Again they used an attack on themselves as an excuse.
Let's add to this list countless smaller episodes when Americans carried out terrible crimes against their opponents with their own hands in order to win the world community over to their side. The “terrorist attack” of September 11, in principle, is no different from the actions of fictitious Viet Cong units, which the Americans instructed to kill and rape the Vietnamese to discredit the National Liberation Front. It is no different from the “finds” of fictitious communist weapons depots in El Salvador. It is no different from the fictitious Symbionese Liberation Army created by the CIA/FBI to discredit genuine revolutionaries.” (1, 2, 13, 15, 24)

“In 1997, when Bush was governor of Texas, the BBC aired a report about Taliban leaders flying from Afghanistan to Houston to meet with executives of the oil company Unocal and negotiate the possibility of building a gas pipeline through Afghanistan. Gathering information on the feasibility of such a thing The project was entrusted to the Enron company - the same corporation that was the main sponsor of your election campaigns - both gubernatorial and presidential. The construction of the gas pipeline was to be carried out by the Halliburton company. At that time, it was headed by Dick Cheney, the current vice-president. -President of the United States. For what reason did the state of Texas accept these representatives of the government of terrorists on its soil? "(7)
San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, 8 hours before the start of the “terrorist attacks,” received a call from Condoleezza Rice advising him not to fly to New York, which he was scheduled to do on September 11. (25)
"According to the Times of London, Bush allowed a private jet from Saudi Arabia cross the territory of the United States in order to round up and transport out of the country a dozen relatives of bin Laden. This happened in the coming days and weeks after the events of September 11. Bin Laden's relatives were not called in for questioning by either the police or the FBI; not a single attempt was made to find out whether they had any important information". (7)
"Major international corporations, including Microsoft, UBS and Compaq, were among those who made donations to Islamic charities, which US officials say were among al-Qaeda's leading financiers ), Osama bin Laden's organization. (9)
As you know, the hole at the site of the plane crash in Pennsylvania was filled with debris “smaller than a cigarette pack,” i.e., the plane exploded into tiny pieces (see photo gallery). However, even if some powerful explosive, such as RDX, had been loaded into it to fill the Boeing’s entire carrying capacity, even then the fuselage of the aircraft would not have been torn apart to the level of a puzzle. The duralumin from which aircraft bodies are built is not a brittle metal - this is not the phosphorus steel of bomb and shell bodies. (18)
In October 2001, attackers mailed envelopes containing anthrax spores to a number of government agencies, including Congress, and television networks. In December 2001, the FBI admitted that anthrax spores found in postal items, are of American origin. “They were manufactured here,” FBI Assistant Director Barry Mohn told the Boston Globe. He referred to the results of a laboratory analysis. However, Mon refused to go into details. Earlier, thanks to the American media, a version about the Iraqi origin of the dispute became widespread. The republics of the former Soviet Union were often mentioned in this connection. (19) The use of letters as a tool for the spread of deadly bacteria was not news to South African specialists who worked on the production of chemical and bacteriological weapons commissioned by the apartheid regime as part of the fight against the national liberation movement in Southern Africa. Anthrax was one of hundreds of toxins produced at the Roodeplaat laboratory in the 1980s. Moreover, it was successfully transformed into a form that allowed it to be used as a “weapon.” The technology of applying anthrax spores to everyday objects, including letters and stationery, for the purpose of killing people was used as part of Project Coast for the production of chemical and bacteriological weapons with the help of the American CIA. Speaking at the trial of project leader Dr Water Basson in Pretoria, microbiologist Mike Odendaal said he had worked with 46 strains of anthrax bacteria. In particular, at the direction of research director Andre Immelman, he applied anthrax spores to several packs of cigarettes. These packs, he said, were distributed among “enemies of the South African state” in Angola and Namibia. Odendaal introduced anthrax spores into chocolate and mixed them with glue, which was used to seal letters.(10)
“After the collapse of the “evil empire”, the USSR, America lost the basis for heroic worldwide expansion. Not everyone could answer the simple question “why America should and must be the leader of humanity?” The blessed Clinton years, when the American stock exchanges were bursting with growth higher than the sky empty computer actions, added doubts about the world-historical role of the United States as a country-messiah, the only and last empire of good. It was necessary to bring America out of its afternoon hibernation, to remind it of its messianism. It was not by chance that the Washington super-hawk, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul. Wolfowitz, so similar to the caricature Reagan from the Crocodile magazine of the early eighties, said shortly after Bush Jr.’s accession to the throne: for us to shake ourselves up and remember our destiny, America needs a new Pearl Harbor. The “correct” disaster did not take long to happen. wait". (29)
in July 2001, international terrorist Osama bin Laden, who was already on the international wanted list, was treated in an American clinic in Dubai (UAE). There he met with the head of the legal representative office of the CIA in the UAE. Bin Laden was allegedly treated by American doctor Terry Callaway, who heads the urology department at a Dubai clinic. Until recently, the United States also had quite partnership relations with the Taliban. Thus, on May 17 of this year, US Secretary of State Colin Powell announced the transfer of 43 million dollars to the Taliban in gratitude for the destruction of poppy fields in Afghanistan. No one knows where exactly the money went and whether the poppy fields were actually destroyed.(20)
In this interview with the Pakistani newspaper Ummat, Osama bin Laden said that he considered the organizers of the terrorist attacks in the United States Jewish community Florida, which "has not forgiven George Bush for his election in the US presidential election." Relieving himself of blame for the terrorist attacks, bin Laden, in particular, says: “Neither I nor my al-Qaeda organization have anything to do with those who attacked America. They could be anyone - people who are part of the American system, but at the same time opposed to it, or some group that intended to turn this century into a century of confrontation between Islam and Christianity." Speaking about the evidence of his guilt that the US intelligence services intend to present, bin Laden, according to the Ummat newspaper, says: “Ask the intelligence services about this, they receive billions of dollars every year for this. We are against the American system, but we are not against the American of the people, Islam does not allow the killing of innocent men, women and children, even in times of war." (22)
The Americans continue to claim that there were no explosions in the World Trade Center buildings. Were! It's hard to lie when there are witnesses. Both buildings were pre-planted with explosives, which helped bring down the skyscrapers so beautifully. You can listen to excerpts from two Amer. reports. CBS television channel, which reports explosions inside buildings.
It is interesting to observe America's reaction to the emergence of information that exposes the official version. At first, there were numerous attempts to put pressure on the governments of other countries to ban the publication of certain books, especially dangerous for the United States was T. Miessan’s book “A Monstrous Fraud. No Plane Fell on the Pentagon.”
Download file:, because it contained unique photos The Pentagon, where the absence of an airplane in front of the Pentagon is clearly visible (see photo gallery). The reaction was the opposite; the book was translated into 28 languages and sold millions of copies. There were telephone threats and media campaigns against journalists who dared to question the claims of American propaganda. Then came a series of “documentary” films where the “conspiracy theory” was supposedly exposed. Let's consider one of them, “September 11 did not happen” (DER 11. SEPTEMBER FAND NICHT STATT). It was shown throughout Europe in 2004. The authors claim that this very “conspiracy theory” was invented... by communists and fascists who have personal scores to settle with America. A kind of communist conspiracy of paranoids. Argumentation? She simply doesn't exist. The filmmakers use a well-tested technique - they don’t even try to prove, refute, or explain even the most ridiculous inconsistencies. official version. Instead, they are trying to create an extremely negative image of someone who thinks with his own head instead of believing Bush Jr. The authors are trying to convince the viewer that if you are not a communist, fascist or paranoid, then you will believe in the American version without any evidence. Even worse, the host reports with a look of horror that some people still believe that America really wants to rule the world and that the war in Iraq is about oil. “If you don’t believe in the American version of the terrorist attacks, then you don’t believe in the genocide of the Jews during World War II, you don’t believe in Freedom and Democracy, which are incompatible with any conspiracy theories, but you believe in the nightmarish “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” by the Russian production. Only totalitarian states are capable of conspiracies; such practices are incompatible with democracy,” this is his message. Obviously, the author himself does not notice that he is trying to make us believe in a communist conspiracy to discredit the United States as an "empire of good." It even goes as far as outright insults like “those who don’t believe in the official American version are idiots, helpers of terrorists, paranoids.” Such arguments do not explain the absence of Boeing from the ruins of the Pentagon. But there is also in this film interesting information- for example, you can find out that in Germany 20% of the population believes that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were carried out by the American government.
at least five of the 19 terrorist hijackers who carried out attacks in New York and Washington completed flight training at military bases in the United States. (21)
"At least 15 of the 19 terrorists who participated in the operation were citizens of Saudi Arabia. But Bush, nevertheless, began to bomb Afghanistan. Was there an error in aiming? Or was it too risky to attack a country that supplies America with 25% of gasoline? As soon as it was The campaign to establish control over all of Afghanistan was completed, Bush immediately appointed a former adviser to one of the oil corporations as the head of the interim government. Then one of the former members of the Unocal board was appointed as the new ambassador to Afghanistan, and, a few months later, an agreement was signed. construction of a gas pipeline."(7)

one plane made three small holes in each of the buildings that were pierced through

maybe it happened because the building was hit by three missiles?

Let's not forget that retaliatory strikes were carried out on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, where not so simple people, and, frankly speaking, military and economic bandits engaged in economic enslavement and destruction of entire nations. Millions of “ordinary Americans” squealed and sang joyfully when American missiles, bombs, and shells killed civilians on all continents of the planet. And here's the result. As they say: “Oh, you sang? So go and dance!” Americans will have a lot more to “dance” in the frying pan that the United States constantly keeps hot for other nations, because the overwhelming majority are too accustomed to seeing themselves as rulers of the world. Therefore, today 71% of Americans support war and extremely brutal revenge against terrorists. And with all this, they are trying to move us to tears with the current situation in the United States. TV announcers repeat: “An incredible tragedy that has never happened in the history of mankind!” And the millions of people destroyed by America in Korea and Vietnam!? And the genocide of Russia, which annually decreases by more than a million people? They want to touch us by the fact that three minutes of mourning have been declared throughout Europe. But why did “civilized” Europe and “super-civilized” America not declare mourning, but, on the contrary, rejoice during the broadcasts of the brutal execution of the Supreme Council in 1993? We are told that under all conditions terrorism is very bad. And what about the rabid state terrorism of the USA? Is it good that the United States has long ago turned the UN into an international terrorist organization, under whose flag the extermination of millions of people is openly carried out? Familiar logic: whoever is strong is right! But what should someone do who does not have such strength and who is constantly being crushed by someone else’s evil force? Let us assume that these terrorist attacks were actually committed by representatives of some Arab states. But how else, besides terror, these small states can fight the terror of the monstrous US military machine? How else can we bring America to reason? Judging by the highly qualified execution, the September 11 operation could only have been carried out by professionals from government intelligence services, and quite possibly American ones. And how shameful is it to present as evidence of the Arab trace such nonsense as a “suddenly discovered” car with “accidentally” left instructions for operating a Boeing in Arabic and the Koran! The provocation of the American intelligence services could have been carried out to protect Israel, so beloved by America. And we know how the Israeli invaders became more active after the terrorist attack. American Democrats could also organize a provocation in order to discredit the Republicans and, most importantly, prepare for their victory in the next elections. But, if we talk about the purely American origin of this provocation, then its most likely motivating factor may be simply the constant desire of the United States to fight with someone in order, firstly, to keep the world in fear, and secondly, and this is the most the main thing is to crawl out of economic crises and, moreover, to make profits from these wars. The United States generally needs constant duty reasons for war, and when a reason to fight exists without a well-defined “culprit” from whom a “scapegoat” can be made, then this is for them best option, because it allows you to rush at anyone. In this case, bin Laden is simply a godsend for America. What is especially good is that it is not known where he is. Maybe in Afghanistan, maybe in Pakistan, Iraq or anywhere else, and therefore anyone can be bombed. And, of course, if bin Laden had not existed, America would have invented him. By the way, that’s essentially how it was. America not only invented, but actually created at one time both bin Laden and the Taliban movement itself to fight Soviet Union. (17)

Why was the lawn in front of the building covered with gravel immediately after the fire in the Pentagon was extinguished? Maybe so that it would not be visible that there are no traces of an airplane impact on the grass, which, according to the official version, initially fell on the lawn?

2004. At least 76 percent of Internet sites of radical Islamist organizations close to Al-Qaeda are based in the United States and Canada. This was reported yesterday by the Algerian newspaper Expression, which refers to a report received by the Washington Research Institute for Middle Eastern Information. “At a time when the “total war” against terrorism led by Washington and its allies has reached its climax around the world, radical groups close to Bin Laden continue to conduct propaganda via the Internet, with at least 76% of their sites located on American soil,” quotes newspaper excerpt from the report. According to its authors, in the United States, in particular, 25 websites of “only one organization close to Al-Qaeda” are based. Two websites of the Algerian radical Salafist group of preaching and jihad are also located there. Islamist electronics specialists, the report notes, have settled also in Great Britain, Russia, the UAE, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and a number of other countries. From there they conduct propaganda, take responsibility for terrorist attacks, and serve as a connection between various Islamist groups.(30)
Izvestia (12.09), calling the United States an “empire of good” (!??), writes: “Is it even worth talking about some kind of inadequacy today? These will not be “targeted strikes” on terrorist bases, but full-fledged military operations against entire peoples." And with cannibalistic delight they report that “the demand from Russia is now different.” "Vedomosti" demands that the Russian leadership decide who it is with: "with the defending civilization or with those from whom they are defending themselves?" The newspaper asks: "Will leaders of rogue countries visit the country... or will Russia finally become a sincere partner of the club of civilized states?" “Rogue countries”!.. No, this expression, constantly used today, not only smacks of fascism, it is direct evidence of the very real fascism that the United States has long been sick with and with which they seek to infect all their lackeys. The most famous US agent V. Posner, having recently gathered a gang of “political scientists”, tested their loyalty to their overseas master with the question: “Who should Russia be with - with the West or with terrorists?” And what should highly paid Judases do if Putin has long rushed to declare that “we are with America”? Some, however, fiddled around a bit, trying to portray intelligence and pangs of conscience, but in the end everyone joined the general opinion that Russia should be sold. And how many such scoundrels publicly compete today in selling Christ! It is possible to understand them. After all, they are all direct debtors of America. She made capitalism for them in Russia, today she feeds them and ensures their safety. You can understand. But you also need to remember it well! (17)

Ann Coulter is a political analyst and journalist who not only regularly publishes in right-wing newspapers, but also regularly appears on popular talk shows on US TV. In a word, a celebrity. However, she gained notoriety after September 12, 2001, when she wrote in the New York Daily News: “Now is not the time to pinpoint the direct culprits of this terrorist act... We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."(16)

Zinoviev A., philosopher, writer, scientist: “For me personally, the events in New York and Washington remind me of the beginning of the Second World War, when the Nazis organized a provocation against Poland by staging an attack on the German border town of Gleiwitz.” (12)
Bush signed plans to "fight terrorism" around the world, including the occupation of Afghanistan, on September 10, and the bombings did not occur until September 11. (27)
August 2002 - 52% of Russians surveyed continue to think that the Americans “got it right” on September 11, 2001. (28)

On the right is an authentic photo of Osama bin Laden from 1998.

On the left is a frame from a videotape shown by American authorities in December 2001. (Shadows have been removed from the photograph, tones have been sharpened and the focus has been corrected.) This tape allegedly proves the involvement of "terrorist number 1" in the September 11 attacks. However, we clearly see in the left photo a man with a much wider nose, fuller and with completely different facial features. (23)

On that day, two Boeing 747 passenger planes, in front of millions of television viewers, crashed into two high-rise buildings of a shopping center with a short interval, and after a while these towers folded like houses of cards and collapsed. Against the background of this, the fact of the destruction of a smaller third high-rise building standing next to them, into which no plane crashed, but which also remained only a mountain of debris, went almost unnoticed.

No one really knows how many people died there. The building's collapse was not shown on television, but some television programs did show the wreckage. It can be assumed that another passenger airliner that crashed in Pennsylvania was intended for him, but did not reach its target.

Despite this, the third high-rise was blown up under the noise of the disaster with the twin towers. The media tried to “forget” the destruction of this building and not advertise it against the background of the general tragedy. It is therefore not surprising that the responses of New Yorkers to the question about the third destroyed building were discouraging, with almost none of those surveyed able to give any clear answer on this matter.

This is how an information war is waged, the necessary information is literally hammered into the heads of ordinary people, and “inconvenient” facts are hushed up or distorted. The more monstrous a lie is, the more difficult it is to refute it.

The American media had the same attitude towards an alleged plane attack on the Pentagon building, the consequences of which were shown only from afar. And, nevertheless, many noticed that there were no debris of any aircraft at the scene of destruction (chassis, tail of the aircraft, etc.). Moreover, this blow damaged only that part of the building where, by chance (!?) repairs were being carried out and there were no people.

Some analysts make the assumption that this strike was caused by... an American cruise missile, the size of the destruction corresponds to the power of its charge, and there was practically no debris left from it.

Another aspect of this disaster is striking. Her episodes were professionally filmed from the most spectacular angles. It seems that someone placed cameras in the most important places in advance and directly supervised the filming.

The events of September 11 immediately raised many questions among various specialists: professional pilots, civil engineers, aviation accident investigators, and explosives experts.

In particular, many pilots noted that to bring out with such accuracy huge liners for individual objects, even very large ones, in big city It is simply not possible without automatic guidance devices and precise navigation equipment. Moreover, at the helm of these aircraft there were supposedly people who had completed only short-term courses in driving small aircraft, and not such giants as the Boeing 747, in the cockpit of which there is great amount devices.

Civil engineers and designers of these buildings noted that the high-rise buildings had large supply strength and could withstand the impact of more than one aircraft of this type. And indeed, the buildings did not even shake from the plane strike and stood in place for almost an hour.

The assessments of explosives specialists deserve special attention. They believe that the destruction of the towers (and especially the third high-rise) was carried out using industrial blasting technologies.

Now even Russian television shows, for comparison, episodes of industrial explosions of large buildings against the backdrop of the collapsing twin towers. There are no differences in the form of destruction. This means that these high-rise buildings were mined in advance, long before September 11th. The planes were used only as cover to blow them up.

Within a few days after the disaster (what a speed!?) American intelligence agencies 18 people were arrested and charged with preparing and participating in a terrorist act. Of these, 14 were citizens of Saudi Arabia. But the United States made a scapegoat primarily of the Iraqis and their leader Saddam Hussein. This terrorist attack was the reason for the attack on Iraq, and subsequently on Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria has become the next victim. In fact, the US administration used this disaster (and most likely organized it) to launch a struggle for world domination.

This event also has a financial background, which not everyone can see, since information about this side of the matter rarely becomes a topic for discussion in the open press.

For example, the owner of these high-rise buildings insured both buildings for an astronomical amount of $3.6 billion. In this case, a separate line was provided for the case of a terrorist act. Since the terrorist attack occurred against both buildings at once, the owner tried to present it as two separate incidents and tried to “fool” the insurance company with double the amount - $7.2 billion. There were no fools there, and, in the end, the parties agreed on an amount of 4.6 billion dollars.

The mystery was the fate of 3,800 gold bars with a total weight of 12 tons and a value of $100 million, as well as silver worth $120.7 million, stored in the basement of one of the high-rise buildings.

After sorting through the rubble, neither gold nor silver was found there. There is no doubt that the owners took care to remove them before the terrorist attack. And this indicates that the preparation for it was not such a big secret for some.

But the most important events on the financial front began on September 17, when Wall Street experienced a major collapse in stock prices by 685 points, which led to the bankruptcy of a number of large companies.

Under these conditions, oil prices rose sharply, many investors began to invest money in shares of oil companies and fields, mainly owned by Saudi Arabia. It turns out that it was not in vain that the citizens of this country took such an active part in the preparation of the terrorist attack. You can say that on the heads Arab sheikhs golden rain fell. At the same time, investors from the United States received their share, and not a small one, who invested their funds in these industries of Saudi Arabia shortly before the tragic events. “To whom is war, and to whom mother is dear,” says the proverb.

So it turns out that the events of September 11 can be considered as a brilliant scam in which the political ambitions of the American administration to gain world domination, as well as the interests of American financial oligarchs and Arab sheikhs, are intertwined.

An event that changed people's lives

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this day was the most unusual on the planet in the 21st century. Then residents of all countries of the world glued their gaze to their TV screens and became glued to the Internet. And there, on the screens, something completely unimaginable was happening, reminiscent of footage from a science fiction action movie. Huge passenger liners crashed into the skyscrapers of New York, tall buildings folded like toy houses, drowning in clouds of dust reminiscent of a volcanic eruption. And - people: endless crowds of screaming people, running through the streets, or frozen in the distance with a cell phone near their ear...

Alas, it was not a film, but almost a direct report from the scene of an event that would later rightfully be called the largest act of terrorism in the history of mankind. Events wearing and quite official name: "The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in New York."

The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 - how it happened

It is difficult to describe what happened, if only because the narrator inevitably slips into emotions, into personal assessments, and even into his own memories. Moreover, to this day, after many years, certain mysteries, unexplored aspects, and inconsistency of interpretations remain in the picture of the grandiose terrorist attack. However, the essence of what happened is as follows.

A group of Islamic terrorists captured four passenger liners, filled with people and performing scheduled flights. Further investigation revealed that there were a total of 19 attackers, all belonging to the same organization, al-Qaeda. Each plane carried at least one person who had undergone special training and was able to fly a passenger ship.

The terrorists sent two planes to the tall buildings - the South and North towers of the World Trade Center, which were the pride of Manhattan and towered in its southern part. The planes crashed into these skyscrapers one by one, with an interval of about 16 minutes. As a result of the disaster, the buildings caught fire and subsequently completely collapsed, burying a huge number of people. Naturally, all the passengers on the planes also died.

The third plane fell on the Pentagon building, and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania, crashing into a field. As the investigation showed, its target, apparently, was the building of the US Congress, but the terrorists failed to carry out their plans: a struggle ensued on board with the crew and passengers, which ultimately led to the crash of the plane. Naturally, everyone on the third and fourth ships also died.

At the moment, it is stated that as a result of these sad events, 2977 people died, not counting the 19 attackers. Also, 23 people are still listed as missing.

This is exactly what it looks like short description this extraordinary event, but for a more accurate picture it needs to be supplemented with some important facts.

The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 - additional facts

All the hijacked flights followed their schedules to distant California, that is, they had a lot of fuel on board, because the hijackings occurred shortly after the departures. The plane flew into the North Tower at approximately the 95th floor level, and into the South Tower at approximately the 80th floor level. It is impossible to say more precisely, since in both cases these were Boeings, very large aircraft, and the contact area was more than one floor.

The terrible fire and destruction caused by the disaster led to the collapse of giant buildings. The South Tower was the first to fall, followed by the North Tower about half an hour later (the fire in the building raged for 102 minutes). The third building, also part of the World Trade Center complex, fell in the late afternoon. It was too close to the towers that were attacked and could not withstand the temperature and mechanical influences that fell on its walls. In addition, accumulated gas from destroyed communications exploded inside the building.

Some time passed between the hijacking of the planes and their crash, during which many passengers managed to mobile communications connect with your loved ones and friends. Some said goodbye to life, others tried to contact the special services. Many records of these negotiations have been preserved: emotional, deep, filled with fear and grief, but also love for loved ones.

In some cases, passengers and crew tried to resist the terrorists. One of the planes, as already mentioned, as a result of such heroic actions did not reach its target. In the Boeing that crashed into the North Tower, at least one passenger and crew commander were killed even before the collision; this has been proven by investigation.

In the first hours after the terrorist attack, life in the United States changed beyond recognition. No planes received permission to fly into the country and land at its airfields. Passenger flights within the state were cancelled, all foreign flights went to land in Canada and Mexico. Hundreds of fighters took to the air and patrolled the skies around all major cities.

New York was given a special role. Thousands of firefighters, paramedics and rescue workers worked in Manhattan. All city police officers were involved, and colleagues from other regions urgently arrived to help them. The destroyed twin towers left behind gigantic rubble, the burning of which lasted about 100 days, releasing many harmful chemicals into the air.

Subsequently, US intelligence services found out that of the 19 terrorists, the majority (15 people) had the citizenship of Saudi Arabia, the rest were citizens of the UAE, Egypt and Lebanon. They were not typical fanatical martyrs: they all had a good education and a well-established philosophy of life.

Consequences of the terrorist attack

Grandiose terrorist attack 9/11 had consequences commensurate with its magnitude. They have manifested themselves in various spheres of life, and all over the world. Here are just a few of them.

Material

In addition to the completely destroyed three WTC skyscrapers, several other nearby buildings were significantly damaged, or even destroyed, including one church. Archives, works of art, and countless documents were lost. The southern part of Manhattan weakened in business importance for many years. The Pentagon building was very damaged.

Political

The US government and Congress created a special commission known as the 9/11 Commission. She worked for two years and came to the conclusion that the main organizer and culprit of the attack was the Islamic fundamentalist organization Al-Qaeda, which spent about half a billion dollars on the plot. The origin of these funds remains a mystery to this day.

The organization was headed by Saudi Arabian Osama bin Laden. The basis of her ideology was hatred of Israel and the United States. In subsequent years, America, along with its allies, launched an unprecedented fight against fundamentalists, primarily al-Qaeda. Its leader was killed in Afghanistan by American special forces in May 2011.

All the leading countries of the world have revised their views on terrorism, realizing its global danger. Security measures have been significantly tightened almost everywhere, especially on aircraft.

We can talk about the economic consequences of the event, its military significance, and its impact on geopolitics. But perhaps the main thing to note is the change, so to speak, in the modern philosophy of life. After such terrible events, all people, without exception, became acutely aware of what an essentially fragile world we live in. In this world, even the most powerful country turns out to be vulnerable, and danger awaits a person not only in warring states. The terrorist attack in New York showed that the boundaries between enemies and friends have become illusory, and the cruelties of wars do not necessarily manifest themselves only on the fronts of local conflicts.

Beautiful temporary memorials have been built on the site of the former Twin Towers; permanent monuments are under construction. The American nation celebrates this mournful date as a Day of Service and Remembrance. And in New York it's worth tall monument works by Zurab Tsereteli - “Tear of Sorrow”. Inside the split bronze plate is a huge steel drop. This is a symbol of grief not only for the people killed in the terrorist attack. And perhaps not even that much. This tear symbolizes the common pain of humanity, which after September 11 became in many ways different, not so carefree and happy.
