Persuasive Essay On 9/11

Much to the disappointment of many conspiracy theory advocates and myself, the collapse of the World Trade Centre (WTC) Building 7 on September 11th 2001 was likely due to structural failure cause by uncontrolled fires. It is noted that still to this day, fire has never before reduced a steel sky scraper to rubble. This is because fires do not produce enough concentrated heat and energy for the required amount of time for structural steel member to fail. Further to this, high-rise buildings (including those of the same calibre of the WTC Building 7) typically have –

Out of the entire World Trade Center complex WTC 7 is the furthest away, but somehow still manages to collapse. More than 8 hours after the initial attack, at 5:21 p.m., WTC 7 collapsed in 6.5 seconds. This building was also a steel framed building and was not even struck by a plane but mysteriously falls. There is absolutely no reason for this building to fall unless except it was planned. After the buildings collapsed a scientist found traces of thermite, and explosive compound and also Thermate, which is a patented brand of thermite used in the demolition industry! WTC 7 collapsed the same way a building in a controlled demolition would collapse. It gives out in the middle causing it to collapse on itself and not letting it fall onto other buildings. A controlled demolition would also explain the seismic evidence recorded close of two small earthquakes just before the towers collapse. The only valid explanation as to how 3 steel towers could collapse, and one being unstruck is that it was a controlled demolition and the government used explosives to destroy the

No steel-beam high-rise had ever before (or since) completely collapsed due to fires! However, such complete and nearly symmetrical collapses in tall steel-frame buildings have occurred many times before—all of them due to pre-positioned explosives in a procedure called “implosion” or controlled demolition. (22)

This is one of the quotes that show how 9/11 was controlled, and not just based off of plane crashes. People around the United States believe the government had something to do with 9/11. 9/11 contained explosions that were kept a secret by the government. History of 9/11

“The (WTC) collapse appeared to be similar to a controlled demolition” (Thomas, 07/08/2011). Many speculated that the towers were in fact blown down with explosives placed in selected locations. Some witnesses accounted hearing explosions inside the building as they attempted to escape the building. Many architects and scientists maintain that jet fuel cannot produce enough heat to melt the steel frame of the two buildings. There were no planes to hit building 7 of the trade center, but it was demolished in the same fashion as the twin towers were.

The morning of September 11th, 2001 began like any other day for most Americans. All across the country, millions prepared for their commute to school or work, while aboard four doomed airliners, hundreds of passengers huddled in fear of nineteen now infamous hijackers. By the end of the day, thousands would be dead or missing and a country would be left reeling by the worst terror attack in world history. 9/11 is perhaps the most significant cultural and political event in the history of the United States of America, and anyone who was alive that day and old enough to remember the events as they took place can tell you about the utterly unique combination of fear, shock, and rage felt by every American as they watched two of the largest buildings in the world, symbols of New York City as recognizable as the Statue of Liberty itself, crumble into a heap of rumble on the streets of Manhattan. Yet, like with many events in human history that are almost too large or devastating to comprehend, it didn’t take long for some people to begin trying to make sense of what occurred by theorizing about government complacency or complicity in the attacks. These theories, often supported mostly by photos and video footage that is put forth as inconsistent with the official story, usually revolve around claims that the destruction wrought by the hijackers could not have been accomplished through plane crashes like the ones that occurred on 9/11. While sometimes compelling, these claims of

There were many conspiracy theories that surrounded 9/11. One conspiracy theory is called psychos. “Scientologists have claimed that 'Thetan psychologists', with evil in mind, controlled the hijackers' actions using 'drugs and psycho-political methods” (Hind). This theory is believed by many people and is still trying to be proved by Scientologists today. This is not the only conspiracy theory

The September 11 attacks were tragic events that had spread shockwaves of horror and grief across the United States. The tragedy became the subject of controversy as some skeptics began to doubt the details reported to have transpired that day. Some people question its legitimacy, theorizing that the Bush administration devised and orchestrated the attacks to further its agenda. Filmmaker Dylan Avery discusses and promotes this prevalent conspiracy theory in his documentary, Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup. Avery argues that the government possessed foreknowledge of the attacks by comparing them to precedents of similar situations. He challenges the official explanations and provides his analyzations of evidence from the reports and media. Avery effectively appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos in his film, but his compelling argument is ultimately undermined by fallacies.

History has been defined time and time again by powerful people or groups shaping the social narrative of influential events. Made most famous by Winston Churchill, the notion of history being written by victors pays no more relevant context than the events surrounding the morning of September 11th, 2001. There is no doubting the historical significance of this morning, “The horrifying atrocities of September 11 are something quite new in world affairs… this is the first time since the War of 1812 that the national territory has been under attack, or even threatened,” (Chomsky, 11). As with any major event in human history there have been a handful of explanations, most notably from the American government itself, and yet since the moment the first plane collided into the World Trade Center as many questions as answers have arisen from the rubble. This paper will explore a variety of conspiracy theories that have surfaced due to contradictory scientific evidence and government influence regarding the World Trade Center buildings and Flight 93.

Also if one takes a look at the video footage of the World Trade Center’s collapsing, one can clearly see several levels down a perfect explosion coming out level by level by level. The explosions are so precise that there is no possible way that they could’ve occurred by the collapsing itself. These explosions were caused by bombs that were placed inside the World Trade Center days before September 11th. An unexplained fire drill evacuation can prove that claim because why would everyone be ordered to evacuate the building days before September 11th? Maybe they were preparing for something in the event of an emergency (Hoffman, 2005). Actor Charlie Sheen says in an interview with Texas radio host Alex Jones (2006), "Call me insane, but did it sort of look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?" (¶ 3).

“Bush did 9 / 11” suggests that the government during the period where George Bush was the president, knew about 9 / 11 and helped to set explosives inside of the towers. At this point a common question is : "Wouldn't the force of the planes bring down the towers on their own, regardless of a fire?” According to the United States of America’s government, apparently not.

When looking at 9/11 we all know that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked, and the WTC twin towers both collapsed to the ground. They were said to be hit by American Airlines plane, but from some conspiracies they are said to be struck by an unmarked plane, and right before impact they saw a flash which is said to be a missile being shot into the tower right before the plane. Looking at this it looks like a military plane was flown into the towers. It is also said to be a controlled demolition and bombs planted in the basement of the towers, Kellen explains this from an interview from a Janitor of the tower, “I felt an upward explosion from underneath me, and then I heard the other explosion from above.” This came from the

Even though some conspirators think that the U.S. government was involved in the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, they weren’t actually involved. After the attacks occurred on September 11th, 2001, people started to believe that the U.S. government was behind the attacks. Others believe that the terrorist group, known as al-Qaeda was behind it, but that the government knew about it and chose not to do anything to try and prevent it. Some of the reasons behind these conspiracies could make sense in some way, but that still doesn’t prove that the government was behind it all. The conspiracies are so easy to believe because most people will believe anything that they read online, so when

Conspiracy Theorist speculate that September 11th was a planned and executed event caused to spark the “War on Terror”. Bombs attached to the plane that crashed into WTC and detonators inside caused the demise of the twin towers. A missile crashed into the Pentagon, not a Boeing 757. Flight 93 was staged. There are eye witness accounts for what they saw and heard on that day. “We were the first ones in the second tower after the plane struck. I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off” says 51 year old firefighter Louie Cacchioli (People Magazine 09/24/2001). Lon Rains, editor for “Space News” states “I heard a very loud, quick whooshing sound...I was convinced it was a missle. It came in so fast – it sounded nothing like an airplane”. (911inplanesight.com) There ar some that believe that Flight 93 was brought down by a missle. The phone call made by a passenger in a locked bathroom said, “We are being high jacked! We are being high jacked!...was going down. He heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane” (www.whatreallyhappened.com).

Due to the intelligence of some Americans, who thought hard about the U.S. government 's explanation of the events of September 11th, the official story quickly began to unwind. The lies have been revealed for what they are. The inevitable conclusion is that September 11th was an inside job planned and carried out by Americans acting from within state security and U.S. military organisations. The three thousand people who died in these horrific attacks were killed not by Arab terrorists but by agents of the U.S. government.
