When the 9/11 ringleader, Mohamed Atta, checked in at Logan airport, in Boston, his name triggered an alert on the airport's security system and his bags were never put in the plane's hold. In the pic: Hijackers Mohamed Atta (left) and Abdulaziz al-Omari passing through security checkpoint at Portland International Jetport on the morning of September 11, 2001.
In an exercise named "Vigilant Guardian", NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command), which is responsible for defending US airspace, simulated at least four plane hijackings in the week prior to 9/11 and was scheduled to simulate another on the morning of the attacks.
Property developer Larry Silverstein bought the 99-year lease on the World Trade Center for $3.2 billion just six months before they were destroyed. He is now rebuilding a commercial office and shopping complex, alongside a memorial and museum, on the site.
Earlier this year, the official death count for 9/11 was raised by one to 2,753. New York's Medical Examiner's Office ruled that Jerry Borg, an accountant and part-time actor, had died in late 2010 from a lung disease caused by inhaling dust close to the World Trade Center.
Five of the 9/11 hijackers stayed in a motel right outside the gates of the American spy organisation, the National Security Agency, in the days immediately before the attacks.
Black boxes stored in the tail of Flight 77 were reported as having been discovered in the Pentagon on September 12 2001. Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld later said that data from the cockpit voice recorder was unrecoverable. This is thought to be the first time in 40 years that a cockpit voice tape, once found, has yielded no data.
John Patrick O'Neill, a special agent in charge at the FBI, who had investigated al-Qaeda and the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, left the FBI due to policy disagreements. He took up a new job as head of security at the World Trade Center - where he died on 9/11.
he top four search-topics on Google in the week of 9/11, in descending order, were for: Nostradamus; CNN; The World Trade Center; and Osama bin Laden.

"The former CIA agent who worked with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York and New Jersey stated that the USS Cole was hit by a specially-configured Popeye cruise missile launched from an Israeli Dolphin-class submarine. Israeli tests of the missile in May 2000 in the waters off Sri Lanka demonstrated it could hit a target 930 miles away. The ex-CIA agent also stated that Ambassador Bodine threw (FBI investigator) John O’Neill and his team out of Yemen lest their investigation began uncovering evidence that the Cole was not blown up by an explosive-laden boat but by an Israeli cruise missile."
