Shiney Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Hello! I have always been said that the buildings in the US has been destroyed by terrorists. But recently I have heard that the reports of for example the Pentagon is not quite right... I would like to have further Information about this topic. What happened really? Does somebody know? Thanks in advance. Shiney
insane_alien Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 what happened was exactly what everybody across the world seen. terrorists flying planes into buildings. It is conspiracy theorists who spread the doubt about it. they take a very simple situation and try to put so much crap into it. much like the moon landing conspiracies.
the tree Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.--Carl Sagan I am yet to see anything that suggests there may be any grounds to this particular conspiracy theory.(I'm assuming here that your refering to the 11th, not the 9th, nothing of historical significance happened on the 9th of September 2001, unless you count the UNIX billennium, which you don't)
insane_alien Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 i took it as being a misunderstanding of the USA-ian date format. since they use MM/DD/YYYY and we (UK) use DD/MM/YYYY which is altogether more logical.
the tree Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Aha, and in the confusion he put MM/MM. Fair enough I guess. It's really not us that use the D-M-Y date format, as far as I'm aware, pretty much all of the civilised world does.
insane_alien Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 yeah, but since us three are all from the UK thats why i put it in. No offence was meant to the rest of the world.
Sisyphus Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Psshh. Your "rest of the civilized world" probably uses the metric system and abolished the death penalty, too. Buncha' weirdos.
Pangloss Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 (hehe) Hi Shiney. Just to formalize what they're saying above, it's known as "9/11", or "September 11" here, because of the US's "reverse" dating system where we put the month before the day. (I'll bet there's some interesting history behind that convention.) Anyway, in this forum the 9/11 conspiracy theories are considered to be thoroughly debunked, and have been relegated to the Speculations board, which may be found here. So I'm closing this thread, but you're welcome to start another one there. Thanks.
