“On August 31, 1997, Diana was a passenger in a car being driven at high speed by a drunk chauffeur, with a posse of paparazzi on their tail. The Mercedes smashed into a concrete pillar in a tunnel, killing two of the occupants- the driver and Diana’s boyfriend, playboy Dodi Al Fayed, instantly. Diana died four hours later in the hospital. Her bodyguard survived.” was the official statement released by press of the tragic events that took place that night in Paris (“Diana’s death and the conspiracies” 1). Diana and Dodi had dinner at the Ritz Hotel and then rode in the car towards the Eiffel Tower. They were traveling along the Rue de Rivoli and into the tunnel under Place de l’Alma when the driver swerved and lost control, causing the car …show more content…
“How could an airplane bring down such a large building without explosives?” was one of the most asked questions surrounding the attacks. Although it does seem kind of impossible, especially since the buildings were able to perfectly fall into themselves, engineers from Popular Mechanics Magazine were able to answer this question. They said for steel to melt it has to reach a temperature of 2750oF, and although the jet fuel only reaches temperatures of 800o-15000F, the steel would not have to completely melt, but only lose some structural strength, to be able to collapse. The high temperatures of the jet fuel would have been able to alter the strength (“9/11 Conspiracy Theories Won’t Stop” 3). But jet fuel was not the only thing that was burning inside the building. The other combustible materials inside the building (rugs, curtains, furniture, paper, etc.) contributed to the fire. Some patches of flames reached up to 1832oF. So the collapse of the building was proven capable without the use of explosives. While some theories have been disproven, such as the use of explosives, others remain questionable. Although we would like to believe that the government had nothing to do with the attacks, there is a large amount of evidence that suggests differently, making the theories involving them very
On September 11, 2001, the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda hijacked four american airlines. “Two of the airlines crashed into the world trade center in New York The third plane crashed into the Pentagon outside the world trade center, and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania” (9/11 Attacks). They called it a suicide attack against United States, but there are conspiracy theories the the terrorist are still alive. That they stole
Conspiracy theories accuse others of a cover up by secret planning. They may be based on a hunch or even backed by evidence. To the curious mind, they bring about unanswered questions that have attracted the attention of many people throughout history. Among some of the more popular theories are the assassination of President John F. Kennedy; the death of Princess Diana; alien encounters in Roswell, New Mexico; and the idea that Elvis may still be alive. Perhaps the most intriguing theory, because of our neighboring location, is the underground bunker and seemingly strange characteristics at the Denver airport.
The official story of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory in that the government claims 19 hijackers conspired together to hijack four planes and create terror in the world. Four American airplanes were hijacked; two were driven into the World Trade Centers and the third airplane into the Pentagon. The fourth airplane suspected target was the White House, but it was diverted by the brave men and women aboard that hijacked airplane, and crashed the airline jet before it could reach its target. It was like time stood still as America watched through television broadcast these unbelievable and horrifying events taking place. The reports told of the smell the jet fuel, burning flesh, and people jumping out windows to their death to escape the flames. When the two bravura structures tumbling down, rescuers, (police officers, firefighters, and ambulance drivers and techs) were caught in the mast and lost their lives doing their job trying to save lives.
Such as, did inside traders know about attacks before the event even occurred, Why did the world's most powerful air force fail to intercept any of the four hijacked planes, Why did the Twin Towers collapse so quickly and a good question is why was the crash site at Shanksville, Pennsylvania so small and why was the aircraft debris not visible. Many of these conspiracies got most of the world thinking about the tragic event that occurred on september 11, 2001 and if it was an event that was made up by the government to set up the terrorist and their
Many conspiracy theories have been developed concerning what happened to the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001, but there are a select few that, similar to the truth, cannot be disproved without quite a bit of effort. One theory is that the Twin Towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions. Another idea of what happened is that planes did hit the towers, but they were remote controlled. A third theory is that Al Qaeda is not responsible for the 9-11 attacks (The Top September 11 Conspiracy Theories, n.d.). And last, but certainly not least, is the theory that the 9-11 attacks were a false flag operation. When considering these theories, there are many different controversial areas that should be assessed to differentiate between fact and opinion.
The official theory is that Princess Diana’s unexpected death was caused by her injuries sustained during the crash. On August 31st, 1997, Princess Diana and her partner Dodi Al-Fayed left the Ritz Hotel in a Mercedes-Benz S280. This conclusion was arrived at by the Royal Courts of Justice in London, who after 23 hours produced the verdict that Henri’s ‘gross negligence’ contributed to the crash. Henri Paul was driving the couple whilst under the influence.
The attacks that occurred on 9/11 took place on September 11th, 2001. In this devastating event, four different attacks had taken place. Each of the attacks were carried out by terrorists. The group responsible for the attack was Al-Qaeda, a militant Islamist organization that is known to be global in present day. The group itself has a network consisting of a Sunni Muslim movement that aims to make global Jihad happen. Furthermore, a stateless, multinational army that is ready to move at any given time. This terrorist group focuses on attacking non-Sunni Muslims, those who are not Muslim, and individuals who the group deems to be kafir. Ever since the late 1980s, Al-Qaeda has been wreaking havoc all around the world. The leader of the group once being Osama bin Laden. Three planes were bound for New York City while another plane headed towards Washington, D.C. which was supposed to take out the U.S. Capitol. Two of the airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center. One plane hitting the North Tower and the other hitting the South Tower. The third plane had crashed into the Pentagon taking out the western side of the building. The last and final plane was focused solely on taking out the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. but failed due to passengers of the plane coming hijacking it from the hijackers. The passengers attempted to take out the hijackers but sadly failed, crashing it into a field in Pennsylvania. Throughout the content of this paper, we will be focusing on the role of media when it comes to 9/11; more specifically: how the media's coverage of 9/11 manipulated our feelings towards 9/11, how it affected Islamophobia in America, and the lasting effects of 9/11.
Flight 77, and that the heat and explosion from the initial crash caused the towers structure to
Station 1 was an article from the New York Times about 9/11, what happened during 9/11 and what was going through the people’s heads during 9/11. Station 2 was a bunch of pictures of people who were covered in dust and debris. Some of the pictures showed firefighters helping people who were on the street when the planes hit the buildings. Station 3 had pictures of Americans stereotyping Muslims for the attack and some of the pictures even showed Muslims celebrating. Station 4 had phone calls from people who were in the World Trade Centers when they were hit. The people were panicked(obviously) and didn’t know what to do. They were so scared, they couldn’t think clearly. Station 5 was a speech president Bush gave the day 9/11 happened. He was
However if you look at statistics and interviews from workers if the building had been properly insulated and fireproofed it would of had enough resistance to withstand a plane hitting it. In 102 minutes Kevin Flynn and Jim Dwyer state that the fire most likely went out within 10 minutes. But the resonating heat caused it to melt the beams and thus collapsing the building. So with the proper insulation and fireproofing of the building it would have been able to stay standing and save hundreds if not thousands of
Early in the Administration long before 9/11 attack and war talk CIA Director George Tenet knew that Iraq was going to be a concern for Bush administration. Andy Card the president Chief of staff had a conversation with President Bush about the role of the president. He told the President you are the only one will be able to make the decision to send young men and women to war.
9/11 was one of the darkest days in America, but some say the government could have been part of these attacks. For many years people have debated about the 9/11 cover up. This theory cannot explain why the government would do this. Once people understand why the 9/11 cover up is fake, they will begin to see the answer to their problem, could the government have done this? This conspiracy theory is wrong because, terrorists admitted to the attacks, so many people died, and there's no evidence against the government.
Prior to the 9/11 attack there were a few terrible events that were considered weapons of mass destruction attacks. In 1993, there was the World Trade Center bombing by Muslim terrorist. The Tokyo subway attack that was carried out by the Aum Shinnkyo cult group. What was unique about them is that they made their own sarin gas and prior to the subway attack they actually carried out an earlier attack using the same chemical. The Oklahoma City attack was carried out by an extremist named Timothy McVeigh (home grown terrorist) he killed 169 people and wounded hundreds more. I would like to think that the previous events plus other attacks that have happen around the world started the different agencies and political leaders thinking
There were several conspiracies about the planes that attacked the Twin Towers. One of the planes left Boston's Logan Airport at 7:59 a.m. The hijackers zoomed the plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. The other plane left Logan Airport at 8:14 a.m. The hijackers flew the plane into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m. America had stated that 10 planes were suppose to be hijacked on that day. “Providing new details on the planning of the plot, the commission staff said that al-Qaida planner Khalid Shaihk Mohammed initially proposed a Sept. 11 attack involving 10 planes that would be used to attack CIA and FBI headquarters, unidentified nuclear plants and tall buildings in California and Washington state,” (Brunker). Both planes that flew into the Twin Towers were Boeing 767. The plane was 159 feet long. Another thing that seemed odd was that 9,700 gallons when it should usually have nothing less than 14,000 gallons. The engine was found on Murray Street when it should have been right around the Tower. Things were said about the plane being like a missile since the engine was dropped so far from the Towers. According to German TV footage, the planes front nozzle was caught on fire before going through the building. Conspiracy theories state that there were three things attached to the plan that were likely to explode. After the plane went into the building the plan some how exploded making it look like a missile went into the building or some how it was some sort of bomb. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, drew out the plane and the way the plane was flown into the Towers and it did not seem right. The plane propellers of the Boeing 757 were smaller than the hole it actuall...
Another theory was that perhaps the U.S. Military had shot down flight 93 as to prevent it from taking aim at another important government building. But these claims have been sharply denied by Pentagon officials. The FBI says to the question if it has been ruled out or not that it is “kind of a loaded question.
