9/11

9/11, conspiracy theories

Hours later, WTC 7 was completely engulfed

by  • 

Who are you going to believe about the collapse of WTC 7, some conspiracy theorist or FDNY Battalion Chief Richard Picciotto? He was coming down the stairs of the North Tower with several others when the building he was in collapsed. They were trapped for five and half hours until they saw light above them and climbed out. Earlier this week, Chief Picciotto described to WRAL TV what he then saw:

“It was like out of the frying pan and into the fire because we’re in the rubble field. This is hours later. We don’t see a single person. The surrounding buildings are all on fire — 4 World Trade Center, 5, 6, 7 World Trade Center.

“7 World Trade Center is a 48-story building, was completely engulfed, with fire out of every window.”

From where he stood, Chief Picciotto saw the south face of WTC 7. He confirms what many others there that day describe as a building heavily damaged and in flames. It collapsed after being evacuated, the rubble and danger of another collapse caused the FDNY to pull back, and burning uncontested for most of the day. Far too many had already died.

6 imams, 9/11, Aviation Security, CAIR

CAIR also sued on behalf of 9/11 dry run terrorists

Seven years before filing suit against “John Doe” airline passengers on behalf of the six ‘Flying Imams,’ CAIR, the Council of American-Islamic Relations, filed a lawsuit on behalf of two men the FBI says were conducting a “dry run” in preparation for the 9/11 hijackings. FrontPage magazine has the details:

It’s a tale of two Novembers with the horror of September 11th sandwiched in between… In November 2006, six imams on a US Airways Minneapolis to Phoenix flight begin engaging in bizarre behaviors eerily similar to those used by the 9/11 hijackers… [I]n November 1999, two Saudi students on an America West flight from Phoenix to Columbus were detained after landing because they had made repeated attempts to enter the cockpit area of the plane during the flight.
…
In both cases, CAIR rose up to defend the offenders in question and engaged in their now standard grievance theater protest politics. In the most recent case, CAIR has tried to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the incident by backing the “Flying Imams” and supporting their lawsuit against the airlines and passengers for responding to their bizarre behavior. The lawsuit is being handled by a Muslim attorney associated with CAIR.

When it comes to the November 1999 incident, any mention of CAIR’s involvement or defense of the Saudi students has been scrubbed from the organization’s website. It’s no wonder, as the 9/11 Commission Report (page 521, footnote 60) explains that the FBI now considers the incident as a “dry run” for the 9/11 hijackings. And the two men involved? As the 9/11 Commission Report explains, Hamdan al-Shalawi was in Afghanistan in November 2000 training at an Al-Qaeda camp to launch “Khobar Tower”-type attacks against the US in Saudi Arabia, and Mohammad Al-Qadhaieen was arrested in June 2003 as a material witness in the 9/11 attacks. Both men were friends of Al-Qaeda recruiter, Zakaria Mustapha Soubra, who drove them to the airport that day in Qadhaieen’s car. Another friend of Shalawi is Ghassan al-Sharbi, another Al-Qaeda operative that would later be captured in Pakistan with high-level Al-Qaeda leader Abu Zubaida.
