How was September 11 planned?

9/11 effected us alot, but if you watch the videos on you tube you will see where the missiles were shot before the plane even hit the world trade center (south side). Not only did Osama Bin Laden plan it but they even hooked missiles to the plane, they couldn't of done it by there selves and how did they get passed security there is something we don't know about.

How did people survive during the crash of the twin tower?

Most people who were able to escape and survived were below the floors of impact. The south tower actually had one stairwell that was still intact after the plane hit it, so some people even above the floors of impact were able to escape because of that.

Did Muslims attack the twin tower?

The Muslim religion did not bomb the Twin towers, Muslim Extremists bombed them. Don't just blame the religion just because 19 Terrorists made a terrible decision. It was not the religion that bombed the Twin Towers.

Who invented the ATM in 1969?

Don Wetzel is the person who invented the ATM in 1969. His invention was the first successful automatic teller machine.

How tall were the Twin Towers?

The 1 tower was 1,368 feet tall, the 2 tower was 1,362 feet tall. They were the tallest towers in the world until they were surpassed by the Sears Towers in Chicago. The Twin Towers were known and loved by NY and many other states and areas. Along with the Statue of liberty, the towers showed newcomers freedom, and that they were about to enter the land of the free. On September 11th, 2001 two hijacked airplanes were purposely crashed into both towers.

It took approximately 3 years to fully clean up the wreckage of the two towers. People claimed to have still smelled smoke on their cloths, house, animals, in the air, etc.

15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. Most of the 9/11 training took place in areas like Germany, and the United States (Florida, Arizona, etc). The Taliban, the 'government' of Afghanistan at the time, had nothing to do with the Sept 11 attacks. In fact, the U.S. Congress was funding the Taliban up through, I believe, May of that year, 2001, just months before the 9/11 attacks.

How many number of units deployed by the new york city fire department during world trade center attack?

At the time of the September 11th attacks, New York City had 11,000 firefighters stationed throughout the city, with thousands more stationed throughout the immediate metropolitan area; the 9/11 reports estimated that approximately one-third of the available city firefighters were dispatched to help during the attacks, which would equal about 3,666 firefighters.

The true number is likely higher, as firefighters from New Jersey and surrounding areas poured in during the evacuation process of Lower Manhattan and eventual cleanup/body recovery process, which took several days.

Did Giuliani really forget about the 9-11 attacks?

Probably not really, but he did make a statement that made it seem like it. He said this while campaigning for Trump:

"Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn't have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States. They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office."

Will the Twin Towers II be built with the delays of the freedom tower?

There are currently no plans to rebuild the Twin Towers. Instead, One World Trade Center is being built at the site of the original Twin Towers. It is scheduled to open in late October 2014.

How long did it take for the second tower to fall?

The South Tower of the World Trade Center was struck by Flight 175 at 9:03, and later collapsed at 09:59. Therefore, it took 56 minutes of continuous smoke & flames before it began to fall.

Unfortunately there are mixed reports of how long it took for the building to totally collapse. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, the South Tower collapsed in 10 seconds.

Why is the mayor of New York City allowing a mosque to be built near Ground Zero?

It's not the mayor's decision, first of all. The mayor can use his influence to get support for his side, but it is not up to him to decide what buildings should be constructed and where. That is up to the New York City Department of Buildings, which grants permits allowing structures to be built, altered or demolished.

Second of all, the building -- which is called the Park51 project -- is not a mosque. It is an Islamic community center with a non-denominational prayer space.

As to the heart of the actual question: the center will be built because there is no good reason for it not to be built. Anti-Muslim bigotry is not a good reason to prevent its construction. After all, in the words of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, "Islam did not attack the World Trade Center. Al Qaeda did."

If some people oppose its construction because they associate all Muslims with terrorism, and therefore they do not wish to see Muslims near Ground Zero, then that's their problem. They have no right to make it everyone else's problem.

The idea that it "just seems insensitive somehow" is purely an emotional argument with no basis in reason. Islamic terrorists are a tiny group of radical extremists, and they are in no way representative of the entire Muslim population. Most Muslims are not terrorists and have nothing to do with terrorism.

Associating all Muslims with terrorism may be an unfortunate but natural inclination to some. For example, you might get a little nervous seeing a Muslim guy wearing a turban and robes on the same airplane with you. But you have to recognize that your fear is irrational and prejudicial. You might not be able to help having racist thoughts sometimes, but that doesn't mean it's okay to have them. And it certainly doesn't mean that everyone else should accommodate your racism.

To oppose the Park51 project is to demand that everyone else accommodate your prejudice against Muslims. Even though it's illogical to associate all Muslims with terrorism because a tiny minority of them attacked the U.S., you demand that they be denied the right to build a community center where they see fit. Muslims have the right to build mosques where they please, just like how they have the right to fly whenever they please. You can't prohibit them from building it, any more than you can kick a Muslim guy in a turban off a plane because he makes you nervous.

This opposition is especially ridiculous in a place like Manhattan, which, with a population density of 71,000 people per square mile, is one of the most densely populated areas on earth. Everything in Manhattan is already close to everything else. There is no point in Lower Manhattan that is more than 2 miles away from any other point. It is jam-packed with people and buildings, and there are already several mosques near Ground Zero, so to oppose the construction of another one -- one which isn't even a mosque -- defies common sense.

Even if it were a mosque, and not just a community center with a prayer space, there would be no good reason to prevent its construction. The United States is a country that unconditionally guarantees the freedom of religion, so to prohibit the construction of any house of worship -- regardless of the reason -- would be a clear violation of this constitutional protection.

The September 11 attacks happened because of long-standing animosity between the United States and Muslims in the Middle East. Prohibiting the construction of the Park51 project only reinforces the rift between Muslims and Americans. It sends the message that Americans categorically mistrust Muslims and do not want them in our country. And like the war in Iraq, it is exemplary of the "9-11 justifies everything" attitude, which is only getting the U.S. into further trouble, not just in the Middle East, but around the world.

We cannot resolve our differences and learn to live in peace with each other, unless we open up the lines of communication and learn more about each other. Bigotry and hatred are born of ignorance. We hate people who are different than us because we don't know and understand them. The only way to end the bigotry and hatred is to get to know each other.

So, the September 11 attacks are a good reason to support the construction of an Islamic center near Ground Zero, not to oppose it.
