Saying that someone is middle eastern looking does not equate one with an Arab. There are also...
hmmm...
Jewish individuals in the middle east, who also happen to be middle eastern looking.
Shame on You!!!
Please stop promoting and reinforcing Islamophobia!!!!
Satam al-Suqami was on the flight manifest and someone used his ID to obtain the ticket, which was necessary to board, but prior to 911, it was not required by law to show an ID to actually board a plane.
All one needed was their ticket, and the last time I checked, everybody on the flight is dead. So without a video to corroborate, which we do not have, it is not possible to know who boarded the plane and who didn't.
The flight attendants were not mandated to perform any boarding protocol regarding ID's. We have no way of knowing if he was actually on the plane or not.
Thus, we have no way of knowing if the flight attendants actually ID'd the correct individuals or not.
Unless, of course, you want to keep digging a bigger hole for yourself regarding those "Middle Eastern looking Arabs".
I will say this one more time Doglord.
Middle Eastern does not equate Arab, and I am beginning to get really offended at the blatant Islamophobic racism.
So, for us to speculate on who exactly used "his" passport is...
well...
speculation.
I am not saying that it was not him, but what I am saying is that we truly...
DO NOT KNOW who it was.
Seemed is the operative word here Doglord. That is why I said my question was in two parts. First, I did not refer to a "magic passport".
Second this is the question that I posed to which you are referencing.
Explain to me how the passport of a "hijacker" that was both not on the flight manifest nor seen boarding the plane made it out, while also explaining to me how our government knew he was a "hijacker".
Now that you can read my question clearly, do you see your mistake?
Who was the only supposed "hijacker" that can CLEARLY be identified, and who's passport WAS found, but was NOT on the flight manifest.
That would be Mohammed Atta.
Until some type of Atomic Clock exists that synchronizes every clock used by television and news reporters, you are SPECULATING. and besides that...
Is 5 minutes enough time to know definitively that the implosion of building 7 was due to structural damage?

Have a source for that?

"Who's trying to call me?" one controller asked in vain.
Again how does the writer know this, we do not have the black boxes to verify this information.
They were efficient, a product of practice runs, when they videotaped crew routines and even rode in cockpit "jumpseats" usually reserved for legitimate airline pilots.
I never heard of this in the eight years of research on 911, again this is a writer who is assuming what he thinks happened.
The flight took off uneventfully at 8 a.m., and the last routine conversation occurred at 8:13 a.m., when the pilots were given instructions to turn 20 degrees to the right, said a federal official familiar with transcripts of the air-traffic-control conversations of all four flights
FAA destroyed all their tapes of what happened in the Tower to all four airplanes. They. FAA have something to hide. Any information from them is hearsay and there is no records to verify the true communication from Tower to pilots. The writer is only speculating his opinion nothing more.
Six air traffic controllers provided accounts of their communications with hijacked planes on Sept. 11, 2001, on a tape recording that was later destroyed by Federal Aviation Administration managers, according to a government investigative report issued today.
"20 right, AAL11," the pilot working the radio responded, using the simple flight code of repeating an instruction and providing an airplane's call sign.
Almost immediately, the controller told the pilots to climb to 35,000 feet, but that instruction met with silence.
Hearsay, there is no record, remember they destroyed all their tapes. I do not trust in anything they have to say.
According to the FBI, there were five hijackers aboard
The FBI has been caught lying about everything concerning 911. The FBI has been with holding critical evidences even under the FIOA will not relinquish any information. It is also to believe that the FBI planted the passport at the WTC, on top of the rubble and the two rental cars with a passport and Coran, living will,ect… and the debris at the Pentagon and Shanskville, PA.
It has been proven that Barbra Olsen phone calls never happened. If the FBI and Ted Olsen worked together and we all know Ted Olsen worked with George Bush, then it certainly looks like they conspired together to cook up this lie. That is a conspiracy a plot to mislead the American people.
The hijackers could have known that and shut it off. They also could have turned it off because the absence of a signal would make it harder to track the plane as it turned south from Albany, N.Y., and headed toward New York City.
Could have known?? Also could have turned it off?? Again the writer is only assuming what he thinks the hijacker were doing. In other words, the writer is only giving the readers his “opinion” not facts.
Under any scenario, it appears that the hijackers' entry was surprising enough that the pilots did not have a chance to broadcast a traditional distress call. Apparently at least one of the pilots on Flight 11 remained alive and at one of the cockpit's two control sticks, because he intermittently keyed the microphone button on the yoke so controllers could hear his conversation with a heavily accented hijacker.
“it appears that the hijackers' entry was surprising enough”? who is this writer, he certainly has an imagination. This is his opinion nothing more he does not know what went on in those cockpits no one knows.
The transcript of the air-traffic-control conversations shows that at 8:24 a.m., a controller heard a suspicious broadcast from Flight 11. Apparently, one of the hijackers confused the aircraft's radio with its public-address system.
What, “transcript” of the air-traffic-control conversations shows that at 8:24 a.m., a controller?
The transcripts, tapes where destroyed by FAA is this guy jokeing?
Air traffic controllers and American Airlines officials sent radio and text messages to the cockpit, but got no response. Ogonowski's relatives say it is unclear whether he and McGuinness were alive when the plane hit the World Trade Center.

No proof to these accusation, none what’s so ever. Again, without the tapes that FAA destroyed, it is made up hearsay information to fit whatever the FBI is selling.

That's incorrect, even before 9/11 passengers were required to show ID in order to clear the security checkpoint.

I am getting tired of repeating the same thing over and over and over.
This is the last time that I will reply to you Doglord as your posts are more like an annoying fly that will not go away than anything valid.
Anyone who is reading this will see straight through your lies and disinformation, but I have to point out a few outright lies that I cannot let go....
1) Prior to 9/11, the only time that an ID was required for flight was to obtain the ticket, which was necessary to board.
That is saying that a TICKET was necessary to board. NOT AN ID.
No ID was required at "security checkpoints".
Please link me to anything that states that ID's were required to get on the flight.
NOT TO GET THE TICKET, but TO GET ON THE FLIGHT.
Even today, it is not REQUIRED to fly. An individual can fly without an ID, but they will be subject to extra security checks.
2) None of this matters, because as long as no video was shot of any of these "supposed hijackers" then we do not know who boarded the plane and who didn't.
3) To actually state that Islam is barbaric is utterly ridiculous and completely uninformed and continues to promote a racist belief that "Muslims are terrorists".
Did you forget about the Crusades?
An individual's religion is interpreted. There are as many secular Muslims as there are secular Christians.
You are only showing the world the how uneducated and racist you are.
4) Timestamps are "stamped" by the clock found in the camera. These timestamps are not synchronized. This is like comparing a timestamp from a video that I might have made to a timestamp of a video that you might have made.

ID's are/were required at 2 separate places both before and after 9/11. At the check in desk, where baggage is checked, and at the security checkpoint, which allows access to the departure terminals.

Yes, this is most definitely the official reason for not intercepting the airplanes. It is my understanding that several exercises, all similar to the events that actually occurred on 911, were being run on that very same day.

* Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad
* Saying daily prayers
* Concern for and almsgiving to the needy
* Self-purification through fasting
* The pilgrimage to Mecca for those who are able
No, I'm showing how educated I am. The simple fact is due to the Islamic concept of "abrogation", the verses usually used to support the idea of Islam as a "peaceful religion" are abrogated by later verses exhorting Muslims to lie, deceive, kill, and slaughter all unbelievers at all times until Islam is the only faith on earth. There are no such commandments in the Bible, or the Torah. The simple fact is that a christian who kills "unbelievers" is acting contrary to his religion, while a Muslim who does so is following his religion. Thankfully most Muslims aren't that devout.

Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.
September 28, 2005 Wednesday HEADLINE: 9-11 'HERO' SWIPED OUR GEAR: FDNY Daily News, New York, Sports Final Edition FIRE MARSHALS ARRESTED a self-proclaimed "honorary firefighter" for allegedly touring the country with pilfered FDNY gear to promote a 9/11 book, officials said yesterday. Michael Bellone, 51, of Brooklyn, who volunteered at Ground Zero and later collaborated on a book about the experience, showed off the equipment during speeches to schoolchildren, authorities said. After fielding complaints, FDNY investigators questioned Bellone and discovered that a breathing mask, air tank and other gear he was using had been missing from the department since October 2001, officials said. Bellone said the items were given to his charity - Trauma Response Assistance for Children (TRAC) Team - but would not identify who did so, sources said. "It's very ghoulish," said a fire source. "He may have helped firefighters at the time, but now he's making a living on this."...
A five-year-old story from our archive has been the subject of some recent editorial discussion here. The story, written in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, was about confusion at the time surrounding the names and identities of some of the hijackers. This confusion was widely reported and was also acknowledged by the FBI.
The story has been cited ever since by some as evidence that the 9/11 attacks were part of a US government conspiracy.
We later reported on the list of hijackers, thereby superseding the earlier report. In the intervening years we have also reported in detail on the investigation into the attacks, the 9/11 commission and its report.
We’ve carried the full report, executive summary and main findings and, as part of the recent fifth anniversary coverage, a detailed guide to what’s known about what happened on the day. But conspiracy theories have persisted. The confusion over names and identities we reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and Islamic names.

While there is another thread on Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theory", episode 2, dealing with 9/11, I don't feel the thread does justice to the shocking claim made by recovery worker Mike Bellone.
This requires its own thread, because the claim is that important.
No it isn't. Mike Bellone's background is NOT what you think it is. He's continuously touted as being a firefighter by these conspiracy web sites, but he isn't- he's an HONORARY firefighter, as in the NYFD granted him pretend firefighter status to show their appreciation for helping out at ground zero. All that equipment he's wearing in that photograph wasn't his, and he was only able to get into ground zero to help out becuase he has personal friends in the NYFD. In real life, he runs a children's charity. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Second, there is NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM any possible way that he could know anything about the hijackers being in the cockpit before takeoff. He was never in any position to know any such thing and he doesn't have any professional connections to be told any such thing. Look THAT up if you don't believe me.
Until there's something to back it up other than, well, nothing, don't put too many hopes on being able to use this to support your conspiracy stories, becuase with his misrepresented background and his questionable sources, there's no reason why we should take it at face value. There isn't a single person on the face of the planet who can corroborate this, and you truthers are using too many "undisclosed reports released by anonymous sources" as it is.
So We should kill him huh?
While he was digging in the rubble what where you doing?
While I was helping people through the dust what were you doing?
I guess in your book a volunteer = crazy loser huh?
Its funny if someone questions 9/11 they are automatically a loser, nut job,Arab terrorist collaborator or all three.
If he was screaming bomb Iran, kill all Arabs and burn the Constitution you would be lining up to kiss him on his rear, since he goes against what your masters want he is to be demonized.
How in the world can you know who his friends are or what connections he might have?
Does every American list the names of their friends somewhere?
What makes you so informed on Mike Bellone?
Smells like you are full of it if you ask me.
I have seen lowlifes in my life and career but you and the other fairy tale pushers take the cake in my book.
I would have to say that I am past feeling bad for people like you and at this point I see all of you as a criminals complicit in the 9/11 cover-up, If I am alive when this thing is settled I promise I will do my best to make sure you and the other traitors who come here to lie about 9/11 are charged as accessories after the fact, The NYCCAN movement will not stop and sooner or later you will be held responsible.
