Procedures regarding hijacking were made slower
The Truth Movement has published a documentary that according to the Truth Movement should prove that the terror attack on September 11 2001 was a so-called inside job, where Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was one of the conspirators.
The passport in the ruins
A passport, belonging to Satam al-Suqami, one of the terrorists on bord Flight 11, was found moments before the World Trade Center 2 (South Tower) collapsed and given to a detective from the NYPD. The passport must therefore be planted.
United Airways pilot Buck Rogers lies about cockpit doors
The claim is used to support the claim that the terror attack was a so-called inside job, where top level members of the Federal Aviation Administration and the American Air Force were involved in the conspiracy or, at least, covered for those who were behind.
The passengers could not make phone calls
The claim stems primarily from A. K. Dewdney, a Canadian writer. He claims that cell phones in 2001 did not work above a certain altitude and that there were so many technical problems using them at lower altitudes that it must be considered impossible that the passengers on the hijacked planes could make calls to their relatives and other people.
Passenger manifests are not evidence of the persons having been on board
Jeppe Severin, representative and spokesperson for the Danish Truth Movement, claims that there is no evidence that Mohammed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Hani Hanjour, who the forensic investigation named as three of the suicide pilots, were on the three planes Flight 11, Flight 175, and Flight 77. Since those three terrorists from al Qaeda appeared on the passenger manifests for the three planes, it must mean that passenger manifests are not evidence that the persons have been on board.
The National Operations Manager is lying about the air defense
The claim is used to support the overall claim that the terror attack on September 11, 2001, was a so-called inside job, where leading employees in various government agencies, specifically the American aviation authorities and the American Air Force, should have been involved in a conspiracy or, at least, in covering up who was in the conspiracy.
Dick Cheney was in control of NORAD
Vice President Dick Cheney was in control of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) on September 11, 2001. He had the power – and used it – to prevent NORAD from stopping the hijacked planes.
The hijackers were too incompetent to fly planes
Thus, they could not have flown the planes as described in the official account.
The hijackers are still alive
The claim originates from an article on BBC’s website on September 23, 2001. The claim is indirectly used to claim that there were not any hijackers on board the four planes but that the planes were remotely controlled instead.
The hijackers were identified too quickly
The 19 “hijackers” were all identified within 72 hours. How is that possible, if there was no prior knowledge of the attack and the 19 persons? Thus, if it is impossible to identify the persons in question within the given time frame, it must mean that the authorities actually had prior knowledge of the attack and the 19 persons.
The planes were remotely controlled
The planes were supposedly not hijacked but overtaken electronically from a secret command center and directed to their intented targets.
A “stand down” order was issued, not to shoot down the planes
A “stand down” order was issued which meant that the U.S. Airforce was not to shoot down the hijacked planes.
The hijacked planes could have been intercepted by military planes
In 1999, Air Traffic Control lost contact with a Learjet 35 on its way from Orlando, Florida, to Dallas, Texas. On board were two pilots and four passengers, one being the famous golf player Payne Stewart. An F-16 from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, which happened to be in the area, was dispatched to localize the plane but was unable to make contact. Two more planes were dispatched, also to make contact, but this was also in vain. The Learjet continued its course until it ran out of fuel, after which it crashed. This incident is used to argue that the hijacked planes on September 11, 2001 were intentionally not intercepted by military planes.
