Subject: Absolutely unbelievable!

I will admit that I am now, and was in 2001 very critical of the Bush Administration. In fact, something deep inside told me that there was going to be a terrorist attack somewhere in the United States before the end of the summer. I guess I'm an intuitive person, I don't know how to explain it.

At any rate, even though I could feel this coming, I honestly don't think our own government would purposely sabotage the World Trade Center by placing explosives inside the buildings. How could you even doubt an eyewitness that stood in shock when they saw the second plane hit? That was not fake!

Obviously, with the exception of maybe Bush, no-one in the country saw footage of the first plane hitting until six months later when CBS aired the Naudet bros. documentary. You can't tell me that was fake either! That was actual documented footage. The rating I gave is not for the tv coverage, but rather for the two comments claiming that the planes were fake.

Ive debated hundreds on 911 and have not lost yet. I urge all who still advocate the official chain of events to review ALL the news archives, reunite with your common sense, and polorize yourself with the facts. Thes clips are not even good fakes,(and Im no video expert) yet some will claim with their multi thousand dollar degrees that gives them the authority to tell you what is real and what is not when its playing out right before your eyes. Only the weak minded will be affected by this type of propaganda. The ONLY possible conclusions are these: a)the media broadcasted altered/faked videos. b)the media could not dream of pulling off such a hoax without the knowledge and even assistance of the intelligence apparatus c)this implicates the highest echelons of the "w" administration as the most prolific killers since Hitler, TRAITORS, and the ENEMY.

I was watching ABC that morning, I had just turned the TV on at about 20 minutes into this broadcast.

Subject: 9/11 Mystery

ABC has the most "Human" coverage I think. The
raw emotions of the commentators overcoming
their trained on-air composure. Not a bad thing
in my opinion.
There is one nagging mystery about 9/11 though.
I don't understand how thousands of people with
no formal training or education suddenly woke
up on 9/11 and became structural engineers,
experts in metallurgy, experts in explosive
ordinance, and forensic crash investigators. I am
a pilot, and I am also an engineer, I spent a
substantial portion of my adult life earning my
credentials, not to mention a large sum of money
in the form of tuition. I would much rather have
woken up one morning with my experience and
education suddenly bestowed upon me rather than
spending all that time and money. Alas, thats the
price those of us who live in the real world have
to pay I suppose.

Are you retarded? Oh, was that not PC? V4 are you a blind lickspittle with nothing better to do. So you now deny planes that everybody saw? You have to be kidding.

Subject: Incredible tv fakery!

Notice how the Arraki witness said that he never seen a plane like that that hit the 1st tower and that it was small. And he saw a plane hit the 2nd tower and it was also small yet THE WHOLE WORLD saw a huge jumbo jet smack into the 2nd tower conflicting his reports. What he saw was a missile with wings hit those towers! That "Jumbo" jet was computer created!!!
Also that Dahler guy said it could've been a missile as well before Associated Press released a statement that a plane struck the towers. You can clearly see the media cover-up and co-opting with the military industrial machine to justify wars. Wake up America, we are in serious peril. These people are insane, cold-blooded vicious killer who will stop at nothing to get their New World Order!

Subject: ufo ?

Did anyone notice what appeared to be a possible UFO at the 9.00 am mark of this tape ?
I was sort of looking out for it as I had just been looking at a tape from almost the same angle , except more to the left of this screen . It was on google video and was titled
" what we saw -bob and bri "
They taped 26 minutes of the same thing only from a different building and didn't even notice the UFO until later ! I believe the same UFo is visible at the 9.00 am section of your tape , if you look at the top of the tower on fire , it is to the left and barely visible . I'm certain it's the same as the one on bob and bri's tape . just thought i'd bring that to someones attention.

Subject: ABC Good Morning America Coverage - Zero Hour

The coverage begins roughly 19 minutes into the feed (around 8:50 AM EST - or about four minutes after the initial impact). Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer did an extraordinary job relaying information while maintaining a high degree of professionalism.

Roughly 32 minutes into the feed you can see the coverage of the second plane crashing live into Tower 2 with the reaction of the ABC News team in the background.
