Evidence of Pentagon and military officials complicity in 9/11 events and participation along with 9/11 Commission authors in an obvious cover-up.

 

Flight 175           9/11 Commission’s Revised Time Line (2004)

 

NORAD time line for Flight 175- released Sept 18, 2001

8:14   takeoff from Boston Logan airport

8:25   FAA (Boston) notifies FAA(HQ) and other FAA flight control centers that Flight 11 has been hijacked.

8:42   FAA confirmed radio and transponder off

8:43 FAA notifies NORAD that a second plane appears hijacked and has turned towards N Y

8:46 NEADS scrambles F-15s towards New York

8:47  a plane hits WTC1

8:47 Fl 175 transponder code changed

8:55  Public announcement at the South Tower of WTC saying the building is secure and people should return to their office

9:03  WTC 2  South Tower struck by airplane

9:03 to 9:16  President Bush is sitting listening to a book being read to elementary students in Sarasota, Florida- even though he was

 told that a second hijacked plane had hit WTC2.

9:06 a.m.  All air traffic facilities nationwide are notified that the Flight 11 crash into the WTC was probably a hijacking.

9:17 a.m. The FAA shuts down all New York City area airports.

 

Note: The impact with WTC2 was 43 minutes after Flight 11 first went off course, 21 minutes after Flight 175 went off course, and 17 minutes after the North Tower impact, yet the jet was not intercepted.   

 

Given this time line it is clear that there was sufficient time for jets to intercept and prevent the attack, and the military received considerable accusations of appearance of a stand-down.

 

1.     Journalist Tom Flocco reported in 2003 that Laura Brown of FAA said that a phone bridge between the FAA and Charles Leidig of NMCC had begun about 8:25 after Fl 11 was known to be hijacked.  This conference call was begun as a significant incident call after Fl 11 was hijacked but was upgraded later to an air threat call dealing with all “planes of interest”.  A source at the Dept. of Transportation confirmed the 8:25 time period for the bridge call between NORAD, Secret Service, DOD, and DOT. 

2.     NORAD employee Lt. Colonel Dawne Deskins later says that Boston flight control notifies NORAD of Flight 11's hijacking at 8:31 am, not at 8:40 as has been widely reported.        Another later report states, "Shortly after 8:30 a.m., behind the scenes, word of a possible hijacking [reaches] various stations of NORAD." [ABC News, 9/14/02]

3.     Jets were scrambled from Otis AFB in Massachusetts but even from there, it takes only 2 minutes to get jets on alert into the air and flying at 30 miles per minute this is a 10 minute trip.  So there was plenty of time to intercept and prevent the attack.

4.     There were closer AFBs in New York(McGuire) and Washington(Andrews) but after 9/11, General Richard Myers and NORADs General Arnold said that no jets were on alert at those bases due to budget cutbacks.  There is considerable evidence this is not true.  See Flight 11.

5.     News reports quoting the officer on duty at Otis AFB, Major James Fox, said that the specific target location was not known so the planes were sent in the general direction of New York towards land.  Then once the pilots(Nash and Duffy) were headed towards New York, Duffy was told “your contacts over Kennedy” (JFK airport)

6.     Given the questions regarding why the jets did not intercept Flight 175, the 9/11 Commission Report stated that the pilots were not given directions to the target and “were vectored towards military-controlled airspace off Long Island, where they remained until after the South tower was hit.  This is in contradiction to the earlier News Reports quoting the Otis AFB duty officer and testimony by Duffy.

7. White House Secret Service has a permanent connection to FAA after Flight 11 hit WTC1, approx. 8:47.

Revisions in Time Line by 9/11 Commission:

The 9/11 Commission Report tries to alleviate the indications of a stand-down raised by the previous NORAD time line by publishing a new time line for events(3 years later).

 

In the new time line the report states that the previous time line was wrong and the FAA had never reported the second hijacking to the military and the planes headed for New York never knew about any target since by the time they got there the first tower had already been hit.  The Commission also stated that Flight 175 transponder had never gone off, though there had been a change in the transponder code.   This new revision of the time line contradicts the previous NORAD statements and time line on when the FAA notified NORAD(8:43) The Commission statement is also in conflict with statements and news reports that the scrambled jets original target was JFK airport which is less than 2 minutes from WTC.  But this is also essentially true of Long Island as well. [there were news reports quoting an FAA flight controller that the transponder went off at 8:42 and the plane changed course and the transponder came back on with a different transponder code]

 

The new 9/11 Commission revision also said that when the FAA flight controller tried to report the hijacking to their supervisor, the supervisor refused to talk to the controller.  Then at 9:01 the FAA controller contacted FAA HQ but HQ did not contact NORAD.    But this contradicts previous NORAD statements and the previous news reports quoting the Otis AFB duty officer.  Also one of the pilots, Duffy, was quoted as saying they were going full blower all the way- which means they would have arrived in about 6 minutes from leaving. Additionally this contradicts statements to the Toronto Star by Captain Michael Jellinik of Norad’s Colorado HQ regarding knowledge of the hijacked plane.

 

The Commission Report also contains a paragraph where it is stated that the planes did not take off at 8:46 because they had no target. But this contradicts much of the previous information, reports, and news stories quoting Major Fox.

 

All of these statements contradict the earlier statements of General Myers and Mike Snyder, spokesman for NORAD, that no planes were scrambled until the Pentagon was hit.

New York Mayor Giuliani said that President Bush deputy political director Chris Henrick stated that fighter jets had been sent to New York at 9:46.  So this supports the original statements by Gen. Myers and Mike Snyder that no planes were scrambled until after the Pentagon was hit.

 

So no matter what is true regarding the military jet response, it is clear that military officials stated many intentional falsehoods and contradictory statements to the 9/11 Commission. 

 

There were 5 reports that were contrary to the 9/11 Commission Reports revised time line and events description. 

 

According to a memo of May 22, 2003 by Laura Brown(FAA) (senior official Boston FAA)

The FAA and military and NORAD had been in constant communication from just after the first WTC crash and prior to the WTC2 crash(since about 8:50).  Many sources confirm this and that they were talking about “all flights of interest”.  So the 2 planes had time to intercept irregardless of whether they were over JFK or off Long Island.  However the new 9/11 Commission time line states that the contact didn’t happen until 9;20, after the WTC2 was hit. 

 

Journalist Tom Flocco reported that in 2003 Laura Brown of FAA said that a phone bridge between the FAA and Charles Leidig of NMCC had begun between 8:20 and 8:25 when Flight 11 was known to be hijacked. 

A source at the Dept. of Transportation confirmed the 8:20 time period for the bridge call between NORAD, Secret Service, DOD, and DOT. 

[Later after discussion with her supervisors, Laura Brown emailed that she wanted to revise her time estimate of the start of the earlier bridge call from 8;20 to 8:45; but this was still time to allow interception]

 

Tom Flocco states that in his opinion the majority of the evidence supports that the first bridge started  during the 8:20 to 8:25 window.

 

The 4th report was Captain M. Jellinik, NORAD command director on 9/11.  According to news reports in 2002 quoting him, a bridge call between NMCC, NORAD, and FAA began just after the first strike on the WTC, consistent with the time of the original Laura Brown memo.

 

The 5th report was from Richard Clark, National Security Coordinator,. He reported that the deputy director of the White House Situation Room told him at 9:15 that they had been on the air threat call with NORAD and FAA.  This call had been going on for a considerable time as it had begun as a significant event call and had been upgraded to an air threat call; and there had been many exchanges of information that had occurred. 

 

All of the reports are inconsistent with the 9/11 Commission revised time line and statements about events regarding Flight 175.

&    Paul Thompson’s Timeline http://billstclair.com/911timeline/main/flight175.html

 

At 11:00 most national News reported that UA has issued a press release stating the UA175 is still missing and the Airline does not know where it it is. According to CNN, UA confirmed at 11:59 that Fl 175 had crashed.  At 2;00 PM, ABC News reported that there was still confusion at American Airlines and United Airlines as to which had hit the Pentagon and which had hit WTC2.

Physical Evidence of Controlled Demolition and Complicity at WTC2

 

There is considerable evidence that the WTC towers were destroyed by controlled demolition.(I)  Steel framed buildings have never before or since been caused to collapse by airplane impacts or fires.  And there is strong evidence supporting massive explosions in the towers, with statements by firefighters, building engineers, janitors, and others who said they heard and saw explosions.  The degree of pulverization of the solids in the buildings and outward forceful expulsion of unusually fine powder also is consistent with explosives.  And the collapses of WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 were all consistent with the characteristics of controlled demolition, with implosion and rapid collapse.  Also the splintering of the massive steel beams and the molten metal and hot temperatures in the building debris for over 2 months also does not appear consistent with gravity related damage or gasoline related fires since the gasoline fires lasted less than 10 minutes and the fires in WTC2 were never very large or hot. (III)

 

There has also been a major effort to suppress virtually all evidence of what really happened at the World Trade Center through failure to public ally release the flight recorder information or evidence of plane parts,  rapid contracting for removal of steel beams and other evidence without giving independent investigators access to the evidence, gag orders on firefighters, etc.  There has also been a major effort to cover up the large number of warnings, many very explicit of 9/11 type events in the fall of 2001 and the large number of explicit warnings given to the FAA and airlines prior to 9/11.  (II)
