    On Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred as four large passenger jets were hijacked then crashed, killing nearly 3,000 persons. The attack was carried out by four separate teams of terrorists from the Middle East, all operating from inside the U.S. Each team had boarded an early-morning flight, posing as passengers, then forcibly commandeered the aircraft. Two fully-fueled jumbo jets, American Airlines Flight 11 carrying 92 persons and United Airlines Flight 175 carrying 65 persons, had departed Boston for Los Angeles. Both jets were diverted by the hijackers to New York City where they were piloted by the terrorists themselves into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

    On September 11, 2001 one of the most tragic events in history of mankind occurred. On this day, four airplanes were hijacked; coordinated by an Islamic terrorist group known as the Al-Qaeda. This was a very alarming event, as America is known to be the most secure country in the world. This external group had hijacked four planes on US territory, which depicted how “secure” America truly was, it was only after this event were the strict airport security guidelines put into place. The magnitude of this event left some with doubts about what truly happened as many conspiracists suggested that the United States government had staged the event for political reasons. However, since this was such a large event, it would be very difficult for the government to easily conceal this event. When analyzing the 9/11 conspiracy theories, one would notice that the theories listed deny legitimate science and facts. Conspiracists have many different reasons for creating such false myths.

    The 9/11 attacks was not the first time when terrorists tried to take down the World Trade Center. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing would have become the day (9/11 day) of taking away thousands of innocent lives, but the terrorists did not succeed in their mission. According to Seth Cline in his article, “…two men parked a yellow Ryder truck in a public parking garage beneath the World Trade Center and detonated a half-ton bomb. The blast did not topple the towers, as the driver of that truck, Ramzi Yousef, had hoped.” Terrorists always wanted to bring the twin towers down. Two people brought half-ton bomb inside the building. It was strange that they passed the security check with the bomb. It gave an opportunity to the Unites States to keep the security at high level and save nation from the terrorist. It was one of the biggest warnings to the United States. Another, jets were used as weapon even before the 9/11 attacks. According to Philip Shenon in his article in The New York Times, “The F.B.I. knew by 1996 of a specific threat that terrorists in Al Qaeda, Mr. bin Laden 's network, might use a plane in a suicide attack against the headquarters of the C.I.A. or another large federal building.” Five years before the 9/11 attacks happened, the FBI also knew that students controlled by Al Qaeda in U.S. were learning how to fly plane. In those five years, they could have started the same security system at the airports as now. Nothing was done to secure the nation. The strongest departments in the world, the CIA and FBI, failed to act on…
