There is so much about this... I just have to point to wtc7.net.

If you don't know, building 7 was not struck by an airplane.  It was the first steel frame structure in the history of such structures to be completely destroyed by fire.  There was no engineering investigation.

If a steel frame structure can be destroyed by fire, which was previously not thought possible, it raises serious questions about the safety of firefighters entering burning skyscrapers.  An engineering investigation is undoubtedly warrented.

Whatever else you may or may not believe about the circumstances surrounding Sept. 11, 2001 this one fact stands out... the Bush administration in concert with the Mayor of New York blocked all attempts at investigating this collapse.

 

Other issues to me are why did Bush continue to just hang out at an elementary school after the 2nd tower was hit... more disturbing, why didn't the secret service drag him out?

 

When 8 of the 19 supposed hijackers are now confirmed to be alive and well, with a 9th believed alive by his father (father says Mohammad Atta called him on 9/13/2001) why are we going to war based on these identities?  Also, when (based on the supposed identites) 16 of the 19 were Suadi, 3 were Egyptian, and 1 was Syrian... why are we invading Afghanistan and allying with Saudi Arabia?  Two of the three hijackers named in the Bin Laden video that supposedly proved that he was involved are known to be alive.  Didn't all of the hijackers die?  Why would Bin Laden name two living people as his hijackers?  If we don't know who the hijackers were, then why are we invading Afghanistan?

"An FBI notice to banks on Sept. 19 raised the possibility that Almihdhar might still be alive without speculating or explaining how that could be possible. "

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. 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. Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.

"The name [listed by the FBI] is my name and the birth date is the same as mine, but I am not the one who bombed the World Trade Center in New York," Abdulaziz Alomari told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.

The Saudi Airlines pilot, Saeed Al-Ghamdi, 25, and Abdulaziz Al-Omari, an engineer from Riyadh, are furious that the hijackers' "personal details" - including name, place, date of birth and occupation - matched their own.

Mr Al-Hamzi is 26 and had just returned to work at a petrochemical complex in the industrial eastern city of Yanbou after a holiday in Saudi Arabia when the hijackers struck. He was accused of hijacking the American Airlines Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon. He said: "I have never been to the United States and have not been out of Saudi Arabia in the past two years." The FBI described him as 21 and said that his possible residences were Fort Lee or Wayne, both in New Jersey.

Based on information from multiple law enforcement sources, CNN reported that Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Bukhari of Vero Beach Florida, were suspected to be two of the pilots who crashed planes into the World Trade Center. CNN later learned that Adnan Bukhari is still in Florida, where he was questioned by the FBI. We are sorry for the misinformation. A federal law enforcement source now tells CNN that Bukhari passed an FBI polygraph and is not considered a suspect. Through his attorney, Bukhari says that he is helping authorities. Ameer Bukhari died in a small plane crash last year.

He also claimed that his son had called him two days after the attack, and described it as "a normal conversation." But he snarled when asked to give further details. Asked what country Muhammad had called from, he said, "The name of the country isn't written on the phone." Asked where Muhammad was now, he said, "Ask Mossad."

A man by the same name is a pilot, whose father is a Saudi diplomat in Bombay. "I personally talked to both father and son today," said Gaafar Allagany, head of the Saudi Embassy's information center.
