I just get tired of seing tis "figure" batted around. Suffice to say, the odds are slim, perhaps in the 1/100 - 1/1,000 range.

No, the odds of having a drill for a specific situation on the very same day the situation takes place is probably a bigger number then the one LightWorker13 posted.

What's more interesting is one of the buses being sent a different direction by police before it blew up. That guy that was shot in the head however many times (What did he see?). There is countless others but I suppose you need to simplify.
As for 9/11 what about the guy who went on oath about the conversation he overheard between Cheyney, "Of course the orders still stand have you heard any thing different" not exact quote but I'll look it up. I can't remember his name, It was like beretta or something.
Any mention of no planes, hi-tech nukes, holograms etc. Doesn't help because it cannot be proven no matter how true it may be. The focus should be on easily provable things.
Operation Northwoods proves it's not unlikely for the government to do something like this. So even if it was a bunch of terrorists who hate freedom, puppies etc. There still should be a thorough investigation.

The odds seem a little silly. I don't see how you can really work that out. However, no matter how unlikely the odds it is still possible.

The odds are interesting but prove nothing.

What are the odds of me scratching my left butt cheek as I'm on this thread?
Well to be on this thread is fairly odd as there are so many threads on this site. And considering all the different message boards on the internet it makes the odds even greater. And for my butt to be itchy whilst on this site. And then my left cheek at that? What are the odds that I'm even near a PC whilst this cheek itches. Or even that I have computer, or one with internet access. And then what are the odds of me even being alive. All the different things which had to be in place for me to be scratching my ass at this precise moment would be a gigantic number.
Of course just because the odds of everything falling into place is extremely high doesn't mean it didn't happen.

For instance the part about planes crashing into a building. This was a fire drill exercise to prepare for the event of a small plane losing hydrolics crashing into a building tower at their office.
So it's a lot of hype and no substance there. But it does make for good sensationalism and does boost sales for some web sites.

However there is a chance of it happening, the chance is very small. But it still exists.

Caustic Logic,
The odds of the insanely huge monumental and almost never ending number of the chances for having the drill for the specific situation of 911 that took place only once in known history, is very much an important piece of evidence in the consensus that it was not a coincidence.
As far as I'm concerned anyways.
Take all the days of the planet ever since air planes were invented and then take all the concepts in our reality together and then take all the locations on earth and so on and so on...
For all these factors to fit together at the same day that 911 happened would be almost infinite.
