I know you said there was a Time article about the possibility of this, but was this kind of attack never thought of/taken seriously by the govt?

Unfortunately for us, those bastards’ plan was genius, but not overly complicated. Seems like the intelligence community, even without a credible threat at the time, should have considered this a possibility


ETA: back to the OP, I’ve heard that call many times and I still get goosebumps

The IC maintains threat assessments on pretty much everything.

But something has to be considered a credible threat to put resources against preventing it.

I can't imagine being the 911 operator on that day. Basically knowing whoever you talk to is going to die and you just have to talk them through it. shite.

Call me a racist bigot or call me a patriot. But I would rather sacrifice a million innocent lives in the middle east, than to have one more innocent American life lost in the hands of an Islamic terrorists

I'm sure that you'd be so much more polite if you knew that you were about to die.

I posted about this in the 9/11 thread and hadn't seen this thread. I found it when it first came out..I could have sworn it is older than it is. Anyway it is/was disturbing to say the least.

I'm watching 102 minutes that changed America on history channel right now. I think I've kept myself from watching raw footage like this until now. It's dizzying surreal to watch. Just absolutely unfathomable that such an attack happened. fricking sickening, and heartbreaking.

That was hard to listen to.

The documentary by the two French brothers is the greatest 9/11 documentary. I saw it the first time it aired on the 1st anniversary.
I cannot imagine what all those firefighters were going through.

on Sept 11 2001? I mean since thats what kinda got this thread started? i mean can you confirm with 100% confidence? I believe you can at least admit that righ


Dude you’re acring like I’m taking up for them or something. I’ve already said it was a detestable, evil act. All I’m saying is we’ve done our share of bad deeds, and they didn’t do that for no reason at all.
