Yeah, no car bombs in the US, nothing happening at the water treatment facilities, nothing at sporting events, concerts. Interesting isn't it. But the big bad boogieman terrorists are living right under our noses. GTFO

You really don't understand? We were not ready. End of story.

But instead, Lucky Larry made billions on his six-month investment from the insurance. And poof, asbestos problem solved.

I'm not one to discount ALL of the conspiracy theories out there now and in the past, but, with regard to 9/11, I say that you are mistaken on this one. You've got it all wrong here.
Pick another conspiracy theory, OP. This one stinks.
9/11 is what DoD says it is.

So the WTC "attacks" were just an insurance fraud scheme by Lucky Larry?

It was a little more involved than that.
They studied and picked a day and time when the planes would be half full or less.
They apparently also had mace or something similar.
They either implied or directly stated that they had bombs.
Second hand information suggests that they made an example out of a flight attendant and/or passenger and threatened to kill more unless they were granted access to the cockpit.
---as a corollary, there is also anecdotal evidence that on at least one plane, a terrorist was already in the cockpit jump seat as a guest.
Pilots and passengers figured that they were just being used as ransom bait so active resistance would just lead to them getting killed.
Put it all together and Tiger Ryno was right. We just weren't ready and were playing with an outdated rule book.

Yeah, that's believable.

United and American airlines are not part of the military.
And, strictly from a technical standpoint, nobody was taken by surprise. The information to stop this was there but just scattered among multiple agencies that were not sharing with each other.
Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

Still waiting.
I've asked this question ad nauseam. If you sheople are going to continue to call me a conspiracy theorist, the least you could do is tell me what my conspiracy theory is.

The were FIVE hijackers on three of the planes and FOUR on the other. (Or at least that's what the real perpetrators would like to have the sheople believe.)

You haven't really articulated any theory, as far as I can tell, aside from a wordy bunch of sentences that basically amount to "No way"
So, I'll turn it around and directly ask you: In a few sentences, describe what you feel happened.

I won't speak for him but I guess he was asking how the terrorists were able to control the passengers once two were presumably at the controls.
