Stephen Misajlovski Page 1 of 16 Stephen Misajlovski Mrs. Farkas Writing 150/Argumentative Essay 24 October 2010 September 11th, 2001: Criminals Run Free Imagine living in a country where you can’t trust your own government. A place where you were told something you believed for almost 10 years and it was a complete lie. Now imagine this is true. Guess what, it is. On September 11th, 2001, as we all recalled, was one of the most tragic day in American history. On that day, four planes were supposedly hijacked by terrorists, and flown purposely into buildings. These include: United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, United Airlines Flight 175, which crashed into the South Tower, and American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon. All planes said to be Boeing 767’s taken over by terrorists and flown into these buildings. Along with these buildings, Building 7, also in the World Trade Center, collapsed, even though no plane struck it whatsoever. So what really did happen on this tragic day? September 11th, 2001, wasn’t a surprise attack. Our government was well aware that these attacks were going to take place, even believed to have taken part in these attacks against their own people. In this piece, you will see a thorough investigate the possible conspiracy theory that we were all lied to. You will see why the government would do this, the North Tower attack; South Tower attack, Pentagon attack, Skanksville crash, Building 7, and the Osama Bin Laden confess tape. Stephen Misajlovski Page 2 of 16 Now most people won’t even begin to hear out the possibility of our own government would do something like this to their own country. So one of the most questions asked would be why the government would do such a thing. Let me give you an inside look. First let me tell you about a man named Larry Silverstein. Larry is a businessman, as well as President and CEO of Silverstein Properties, Inc. According to www.tvnewslies.org, “Six months before the 9/11 attacks the World Trade Center was "privatized" by being leased to a private sector developer. The lease was purchased by the Silverstein Group for $3.2 billion.” Silverstein then took out insurance for these buildings, including the chance that a terrorist attack took place, it would be covered. After September 11th, 2001, the insurance paid out. The same website, (tvnewslies.org), stated that Silverstein was awarded 7.1 billion dollars, a huge win for him. This is the same man that some say confessed the demolition to Building 7, but I will discuss that later. The biggest reason it is said that this was an “inside job”, has to do with the United States economy and the oil. The Middle East is well known for having the most oil, something the United States needed. Before September 11th, 2001, the U.S. attempted to get oil from the Middle East but access was denied. It was said by 2010, our economy would have been doomed since we had no access to oil. There had to be a reason to invade the Middle East. What better than a terrorist attack against the United States to get the support of all Americans to go and attack the Middle East? President Bush decided to invade the Middle East with suspicion of WMD and finding Osama Bin Laden, both never found. What did happen was the United States went into the Middle East and quickly got access to the oil pipes we were trying to receive, another win to make President Bush look good. People to this day still support the decision to invade Stephen Misajlovski Page 3 of 16 the Middle East to this day. This is wrong because so many lives were lost and nothing that was said would have happened, actually benefited us in any way. So take an inside look at the attacks as you will see facts of what really happened on this day. According to www.web.vu.union.edu, on September 11th, 2001, the North Tower of the World Trade Center was struck at approximately 8:46 A.M by Flight 11. Eightyone passengers, a Boeing 767 on route from Boston to Los Angeles. Five hijackers were officially tagged to this airplane. Their names are: Satam M.A. Al Suqami, Waleed M. Alshehri, Wail M. Alshehri, Mohamed Atta, and Abdulaziz Alomari. Funny thing is, 3 of those 5 “hijackers”, are still alive today. One famous experiment done on behalf of September 11th, 2001, was Project Achilles. It is an experiment to test how good cell phones work on airplanes. Why is this important? Cell phone calls were made on all flights, one major one which occurred on Flight 11. According to www.911research.net, “Flight attendant Madeline Sweeney allegedly placed a cell phone call to her ground manager Michael Woodward starting at 8:21 and talked for 25 minutes, until the plane crashed.” If you look at Appendix 1, located at the bottom of the piece, published from the findings of the official Project Achilles, you will see such a phone call is physically impossible. It is believed that her phone call began at an altitude at over 30,000 feet, a .12% chance of making a successful call. For the call to have lasted close to a half hour is impossible. Along with this call, a famous call made by Betty Ong took place, lasting 23 minutes, the first 4-5 minutes is still unreleased to the public due to the refusal of the FBI. Another reason why people believe that the government had advanced knowledge of attacks was due to President Bush. In the video on www.youtube.com, President Bush did a speech after the attacks, telling how he was outside an elementary school classroom, Stephen Misajlovski Page 4 of 16 as he watched the first plane hit the tower. Well this is impossible because there is only one known video of the first tower being struck, and that video was not released to the next day. So how could the President have seen the first tower get hit on TV when nobody else did? The tower eventually collapsed almost 2 hours after being hit by the plane. Now that may sound normal to you, but actually it is not. Only 3 steel framed building have ever fallen due to fire in the history of steel-framed buildings. Those buildings were all on September 11th, 2001. The use of explosives instantly came to the mind of many. Photos of the windows being blown out have surfaced recently, even employees in the towers have come forward claiming that a week before the attacks, they shut down up to 15 floors of the each tower due to “construction”, the perfect time to plant explosives in the building. The official report made by the FBI claimed that the heat from the jet fuel bent the steel bars, making one floor collapse creating a pancake effect, eventually leading to the building falling. Problem is the bend steel bars like that; you need a temperature of close to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. According to www.csfaculty.stanford.edu, “jet fuel burns up to 2000 degrees Celsius.” Two thousand degrees Celsius equals 3632 degrees Fahrenheit, far less than what is needed to take down such a building. So what is hot enough? Thermite, which is found in explosives, can reach temperatures well over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. A famous photo was taken showing thermite like substance oozing out of the tower minutes before the collapse. This image is shown in Appendix B at the bottom of the paper. Many people just believe what they hear and think this building would have just collapsed due to hot jet fuel, leading to bending medal, eventually collapsing the building. They are wrong because even weeks after the attacks, molten steel was still found along with powder that was tested and had Stephen Misajlovski Page 5 of 16 thermite found in it. Since the building fell instead of just being put out by the fire department, Silverstein made tons of more money and made Americans more made at the Middle East. This all took place surrounding the North Tower attack; now take a look at the South Tower attack. At approximately 9:03 A.M., the South Tower was struck by Flight 175, until it collapsed at 9:58 A.M., before the North Tower did even though it was struck second. By this point, everybody had their cameras ready and so many more videos and photos and eye witnesses saw this plane crash. The second plane was said to be a military plane, not an American Airlines as stated in the official Commission Report. CNN initially reported that it was a cargo plane due to its dark, black color. Eye witnesses have been stated saying that what they witnessed was in no way an American Airlines plane. In fact, after scientists looked closely at the photo, they found a piece on the bottom of the plane that concludes that it was a flight controller. This shows that nobody was in the plane at all, it was a controlled flight. Some of the most conclusive evidence can be done by anybody with a calculator. Science does not lie. The government made you believe that the pancake theory is what brought down both towers. Well if this is true, the tower should have not fell at free fall speed because each floor should have collapsed one at a time on top of each other, creating a delay effect. Well, according to Galileo’s formula for free fall bodies, distance=gravity times time in seconds squared. The South Tower was 1377 feet tall, and gravity in feet is 16.08. If you do the math, free fall speed would have been approximately 9.25 seconds. According to 911reasarch.com, the same as the site used above, the total fall took place in 9 seconds. This proves that the pancake theory is incorrect because the building fell at free fall speed. Famous videos have now Stephen Misajlovski Page 6 of 16 been surfacing lately of firefighters on the day of 9/11, bleeding, covered in dust, explaining how they heard secondary and even third and fourth explosions before the tower came down. For people who don’t believe eye witnesses must believe fire fighters who risked their lives to save others. Most people, just as the North Tower, believe that the jet fuel created the pancake theory. Well nobody can deny scientific proof. A proven formula was used and came to the conclusion that the building fell faster than it should have, leading to the idea of explosives. If you look at Appendix C, you can clearly see exploding windows as the tower fell, supporting the idea of controlled demolition. Along with the North Tower, this building falling made money for the government and gave them a reason to invade. Moving on from the Towers, take a look at the fishiest attack yet, Building 7. According to www.911research.net, the same site as listed above, “Building 7 was not hit by any aircraft, and apparently did not suffer massive damage from the violent destruction of either of the Twin Towers. Small fires were observed in a few different parts of the building prior to its "collapse." Most of the fires were barely visible, and were not hot enough to cause window breakage.” This was the 3rd building made of steel frame to ever collapse due to fire, the first two being the Twin Towers. This building contained crucial evidence in Wall Street investigations going on during this time. This building apparently collapsed due to flying debris from the towers. This is simply impossible. Demolition experts have all took deep looks at the video of the collapse and all concluded it was a demolition due to the crack down the middle of the building, then the building falling inward on itself. If you look at the photo in Appendix D, you can clearly see what most people have called a controlled demolition. Barry Stephen Misajlovski Page 7 of 16 Jennings was a survivor of 9/11. He was in WTC Building 7. Here is the story. He walked into the building and the lobby looked as beautiful as ever, without a scratch. Police officers were already in the lobby even though nothing happened in the building. He walked up the floor of his meeting except when he got there, nobody was there. "Coffee was still steaming and sandwiches were half eaten", Barry said. Funny thing is no CIA agents were in the building that day even though they normally are. He then heard explosions in the building, problem was the second tower wasn't even hit yet, only the first which was before he even entered the building. Finally on his way to the floor, the first tower was struck. Firefighters came and got Jennings who had trouble escaping because of bad knees. So they told him to crawl, so that is what he did. Keep in mind by this point both towers have been hit but none have fallen. What Barry went through next was the most terrible feeling imaginable. Barry was interviewed multiple times saying he crawled over a countless amount of dead bodies, even though official 9/11 stats say no one died in building 7. Dead bodies flooded the floors even before the twin towers fell, how is that even possible? The police officers and fire fighters told him not to look down because they didn't want him to see the bodies, but he did anyways and felt them on his hands and knees. When he reached the lobby he was shocked. The lobby looked like a huge bomb went off but the towers still haven't fell. Why isn't Barry spreading the word today? Jennings mysterious died in August of 2008, which was never explained. Most people don’t know of this building falling, most don’t know what it is. It was the farthest building from the Twin Towers in the WTC, even other buildings below the towers even though severely damaged, did not collapse, and yet Building 7 did. People who disagree with this say the building did burn for 8 hours before collapsing, and since nobody put it Stephen Misajlovski Page 8 of 16 out it collapsed. This is false because once again fire alone cannot bring down such a building, and firefighters did not bother putting them out because the fires were small enough for them to extinguish themselves. Since it did fall, criminals on Wall Street got away without a scratch. The final building that was hit was the Pentagon, which also has many questions that surface. According to www.pentagon.spacelist.org, “Within 30 minutes of two planes hitting the World Trade Center twin towers, American Airlines Flight 77 departed Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles. The Boeing 757 was hijacked and crashed, loaded with 10,000 gallons of fuel, at 345 mph into the west side of the Pentagon. The five-story Pentagon is made up of five pentagonal structures arranged in concentric rings. These rings surround a five-acre open courtyard and are connected by 10 spike-like corridors. The plane took out light poles in the parking lot, hit the ground just outside the outermost ring of the Pentagon, turned up on its wing, and penetrated the E ring.” It penetrated 3 solid concrete walls before stopping, leaving on debris left over small enough to pick up. No photos of bodies were ever recovered, only documentation of employees with cuts on bruises. Here is where it gets really weird. The only damage to the outside of the Pentagon wall was a single hole, no more than 16 feet in diameter. A Boeing 757 is approximately 155 feet long, 44 feet high, and a 124 foot wing span an weighs almost 100 tons. People would say simple, the wings and the fin in the back would fall off upon. Unfortunately, no wings were ever found or no fin. The engines themselves weigh 6 tons a piece and even those would for certain leave holes upon themselves, they did not. The windows outside the 16 foot hole of the building were still intact until the collapse of the wall of the building approximately 43 minutes after the Stephen Misajlovski Page 9 of 16 crash. The only video released in which you can even a glimpse of the attack was a security camera in which all you can see is a fireball as the object hits the side of the building. The only possible explanation is a missile. To prove this point, a military plane was found near the Pentagon for up to 15 minutes after the attack, in restricted air space. Eye witnesses have been quoted saying things such as, “We heard what sounded like a missile,” said Tom Seibert. “It sounded like a missile,” said Michael Dipaula. If a plane did hit the Pentagon, it would of left drag marks on the lawn since it was stated that lamp posts were knocked over. Well there were no drag marks, the lawn was perfectly fine. Many people argue you can’t debunk the eye witnesses and knocked over lamp posts. Well at a speed at close to 400 mph, it would be hard to recognize what you see. No ordinary person is a plane specialist and can confidently state a certain plane type at that speed. So if the government wants to show the truth, show a video that actually shows a real plane hitting the Pentagon. After all, it is the most guarded and secured building in all the United States. There is one last plane that people don’t know too much about, and that is the plane that landed in a field in Pennsylvania. According to www.911research.net, “United Airlines Flight 93 was the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, short of its alleged target, the Capital. The widespread debris field from the crash, together with eyewitness reports, strongly suggest that the jetliner was shot down by a missile fired by a pursuing jet. Flight 93 was a Boeing 757-200 on a scheduled flight from Newark to San Francisco, with 38 passengers, five flight attendants, and two pilots.” It took off 41 minutes after it was supposed to, right after the second tower was hit, almost as if it was a backup plan. The plane was flying when reportedly the passengers overtook the plane and drove it into the ground in Shanksville, Stephen Misajlovski Page 10 of 16 Pennsylvania. This is again a very suspicious plane crash. For one, tiny pieces of debris was spread in an eight mile radius of the crash site, almost impossible for a plane that hit the ground, but a very possible explanation for something that was shot down by a missile. This plane was believed to be heading towards the White House. Kind of funny how the people who are being blamed as the real criminals of 9/11, who spend most of the time in the White House, were in the only building that did not get hit. Donald Rumsfeld was quoted saying, “…the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania, attacked the Pentagon.” This quote put him also in the group of people who set up September 11th, 2001. The most compelling evidence is the fact that the hole that was found at the crash site was already there prior to September 11th. No plane was found at the crash site, no bodies, no blood. All that was found was tiny pieces of debris and pieces of clothing and drivers licenses. Now wait a minute, no bodies were found, it was reported they denigrated in the crash, but paper objects and cotton clothing didn’t burn? That doesn’t sound right at all. People who argue this subject say that going at a straight nose dive at the ground would have done such damage as it did. They couldn’t be more wrong. After interviewing a man whose occupation was doing autopsies, he told me it was impossible for bodies to just designate. Not to mention that Flight 93, according to the official American Airlines files, was not even scheduled to fly that day and is still used today (along with Flight 175). The final piece of evidence is the supposal confess tape of Osama Bin Laden. Take a closer look. After viewing the tape provided by the government, many conclusions have been made. When the terrible tragedy of 9/11 occurred, everyone immediately accused one man, Osama Bin Laden. To this day, he is blamed for everything wrong that happened Stephen Misajlovski Page 11 of 16 that day, and yet, he didn’t do anything wrong. On December 14th, 2001, shortly after the attacks, the government released a tape of "Osama Bin Laden" discussing how he did the 9/11 attacks. But before you believe it, take a closer look. Osama practices Islam which a lot of Americans aren't too familiar with. If you look up Osama on the most wanted list, he is tall, skinny, and most importantly, left handed. Why is that important? In this video, "Osama" is writing a note with his right hand. Not enough? Islam is a religion where gender is a huge issue. Gold and silk are forbidden to be worn by men because they are considered feminine goods. Why is this important? In the video, "Osama" is wearing a gold ring which is against the law. Finally, look at the man in the video, to me, it looks nothing like Osama. With the long beard and the turban, it is difficult, but this video might help you see that the video is completely faked to try to stop 9/11 conspiracy movements. People who try to deny this might say that the ring could have been fake gold, or he could use both hands when writing. This could be plausible but at the same time, for the government to recover this tape and make it public in 2 months after the attack is quite shocking. The FBI knows everything about him and for them to make a mistake about whether he is right or left handed is very unlikely. The government making such a fake tape would convince Americans that he was responsible even though he didn’t. Let’s wrap things up now. How do you feel now after knowing you live in a world with your own government against you? September 11th, 2001, was an inside job, doubt about it. In a nut shell, the government had a huge motive in such attacks due to oil and money. Flight 11 was crashed, with not much information since it was unexpected. There is no doubt explosives brought down this building. Flight 175 never left the ground, it was a military Stephen Misajlovski Page 12 of 16 plane controlled by a piece of equipment on the bottom of the plane that was clearly visible. Flight 77 never hit the Pentagon, a missile did, which is easily understandable because the hole in the Pentagon was only 16 feet wide, impossible for a plane to fit into. Finally, Flight 93 never took crashed. It was a fake crash. The official confession tape was a fake to make people believe it was a terrorist attack when it wasn’t. Look at all the evidence provided and do your own research and you will see what most Americans are beginning to. As a direct result of 9/11, the government passed the Patriotism Act, allowing government to listen in on phone calls and texts, etc. On September 11th, 2011, the 10 year anniversary of this horrific attack, a huge truth movement is taking place in downtown Manhattan. Maybe I will see you there. Stephen Misajlovski Page 13 of 16 Works Cited “9/11 – ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED!.” TV News Lies. TvNewsLies, 05 April 2005.
