What Bothered YOU about 9/11?
Advertisements [?]
I remember that day pretty well. I haven't done any 9/11 research, but I've had a lot of questions I'd like to see answered.

On the day of the attacks, and in the following weeks, I watched CNN nonstop. The things that really bothered me during that time:

1) Why didn't the "govt" send Air Force planes into the air the moment the controllers knew something was wrong? I remember thinking about that Payne Stewart golfer thing.

2) Why didn't the Secret Service immediately remove the President of the United States from that school to a safe and secure location?

3) Why did the "terrorists" strike the buildings BEFORE normal working hours? Why not wait until, say 10:30 am when many more thousands of employees would have been at their desks? Why pre-9:00 am?

4) Who warned that mayor in CA about not flying commercial aircraft before 9/11?

5) How did a paper passport from one of the hijackers manage to survive such a fiery inferno? An inferno capable of collapsing buildings within seconds.

6) Why did the govt have photos and info on 19 hijackers to give to the news media within days of the attack, yet they claimed later the whole thing was such a surprise to them?

There were many things that bothered me at the time. Things that didn't feel right. If that makes me a "conspiracy theorist," :eyes: so be it.
