Conspiracy Theories and Hoaxes

Even if theoretically the terrorists could have hi-jacked 4 planes, and have been able to fly them to their selected targets, how did these 19 people get past the billion dollar air defence system of America? Where was NORAD the million dollar system that can pick out any planes flight number? And where was the fighter jets?

But this lack of defence can be explained without including the need of a conspiracy. It’s still not good for the American government, especially the secretary of defence.

NORAD is designed to pick out enemy planes outside of America, the radar going in a kind of a doughnut shape around the US. This means that if an attack came from within, this utility would be practically useless. Normal radar would also be helpless since the transponders where removed whilst in the air, meaning the security would have had to search through hundreds of of identical bleeps on the radar screens to find the hi-jacked planes.

First to even determine if there is an conspiracy, we must find what, if anything, is wrong with the official statement. This for ease of reading has been broken down into two segments problems with official WTC story, and problems with official pentagon story, which is on the next page.

WTC:Official Story Debunking

The first supposed problems with the official version of the events comes before the planes even leave the airport. For the Arab terrorists to have carried out the attack, Four of the 19 terrorists would have needed to be able to fly a two engine plane. Yet none of the terrorists had a pilots licence, and one of the pilots Hani Hanjour, had gone for lessons, and had been deemed unsafe to fly even a one seater plane.
