<It is understandably a leap of faith to disbelieve the U.S. government, the Kean-Zelikow report and the entire U.S. corporate media. However, with enough study, I've come to realize the real horror of 9/11. It was unquestionably a false flag operation, with all that that implies.>
Ray, the USA government and the entire USA corporate media have had zero credibility for me for a few decades. One should assume they are being at best confused, but more likely dishonest when they write or show anything. Check out Colin Powell showing vials of evil-doer anthrax at the UN and photos of bio-terror production facilities and weather balloon inflation devices or something.
My favourite media malfeasance these days is the captions under photographs purporting to show something. The caption is often obviously not describing what is going on in the photo.
The words they write are "interviewing the keyboard" so can be treated with much more doubt as they don't even have to match their words to an image. These days of course, even the images can be [and are] digitally doctored, "purely to improve the presentation" of course, not to deceive. Even some of that might be done with good intentions.
There are great examples. My favourite still is the big Time magazine cover story expose on male child prostitution in ex-USSR in the early 1990s. They had photos and lots of story, all of which was obviously false. They thought it was true. It was a hoax. An obvious hoax. A few months later, they admitted that they had been had.
I'm not suggesting that murdering thousands and destroying a lot of buildings, and the aircraft too, would be beyond the malevolence of the fanatical who seek megalomaniac power because they will do literally anything their minds can conceive and their abilities enable if it furthers their ambitions and satisfies their lusts.
But that isn't to say they did it, or that those currently in power are of that mind.
They have different megalomanias. King George II for example, I believe started the war against Saddam in revenge for an imagined or real attack on his father, wife and co. Sure, there were other reasons too. Usually we do things for various reasons because things we do have various outcomes. We add up the outcomes to see if we are going to end up closer to our imagined Utopia [or, in King George II's case, the Rapture not to mention a bit of profit and fun on the side while we head for the Rapture]. If our summation is sufficiently on the credit side, with not too much downside risk, then it's "Let's roll!"
Apart from what persuaded the hijackers to conduct the attack, [calling it a complete surprise, insane evil-doer attack is not strictly accurate], the basic facts of what happened are pretty clear to me.
Hijackers got onto aircraft with hoax or real bombs, box-cutters and some pilot training. They flew the aircraft into buildings which went into various collapse modes. The Twin Towers were quite well designed and built and hung on for nearly an hour of conflagration. Their collapse looked about right to me for the damage which was caused.
Why did fighters not scramble quickly? Uselessness. Why did people not run for it straight away from the Twin Towers? Stupidity. Why didn't the pilots resist attack, at least by locking the cockpit door and swinging the cockpit axe? Complacency and training. And so on. It was good material for a Simpsons episode. A bunch of superstitious wacoes attacks the USA, which responds like Chief Clancy Wiggum in the Simpsons.
Americans are not very bright. Their average intelligence is only about 100, so one can't expect too much when smart responses to events are needed. We all do as best we can, and often, what we can do based on our limited understanding is ineffectual or even harmful.
So, we don't need to, in this case, include a false flag operation. Occam's box-cutter razor is sufficient to explain it all.
