September 11 attacks. Black Tuesday in US history

The once unforgettable and at one time very popular Karl Marx, predicting the imminent death of capitalism, argued that, and this is none other than the proletariat. Since then, a lot of time has passed and life has flowed in a slightly different scenario. The proletariat calmed down, acquired petty-bourgeois tricks, and in some places even became capitalism's best friend, ready to break anyone for its sake. Straight to Confucius. "You can't defeat the enemy - become his best friend".

But, a holy place is never empty. And now, at the turn of the century, it appeared in the abyss. Not capitalism, not an oligarchy, but the entire Western world en masse, with all its European values ​​and traditions. Completely. Into the abyss. How unworthy to exist.

Of course, it is still too early to panic, especially since panic does not lead to anything good, but -. Anyone who once at least somehow taught history remembers how it all began in Russia. At first there were terrorist attacks against generals, ministers and members of the royal family, and in 1917 the communists revealed their doctrine of socio-economic development to the broad masses of the people.

Of course, there is not much in common between the communists, but the goals and methods are somewhat similar.

The September 11 attacks - the beginning of the Third World War?

attacks are different. But - a series September 11, 2001 attacks- these are terrorist attacks of a special kind, a kind of reduced model of the war of the worlds, Western and otherwise, carefully grown and released into free swimming, like a genie released from a bottle.

In the morning 11 September 4 groups of terrorists, totaling 19 people, captured 4 Boeing 767-200 passenger aircraft flying from Boston, Washington and Newark, which were then used to strike ground targets. Two planes crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and a third crashed into the Pentagon building in Washington. As for the fourth hijacked aircraft, the target of the terrorists who hijacked it was the Capitol or the White House.

Flight 11 american airlines took off from Boston, crashed into the north side of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, in the time period from 8:46:26 before 8:46:40 local time, approximately at the level of 94-98 floors.

Flight 175 american airlines took off from Boston, crashed into the south side of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, 9:02:59 , approximately at the level of 78-85 floors.

Flight 77 american airlines flew out of Washington, crashed into the Pentagon in 9:37:46 .

Flight 93 american airlines flew out of Newark 10:03:11 fell on a field in Pennsylvania about 240 km north of Washington.

Tuesday was chosen for the attack is by no means accidental. According to statistics, it is on Tuesday that the least number of passengers fly by planes, and the aforementioned planes on that ill-fated day were not even half full.

The planes were hijacked by residents of Arab countries, most of them from Saudi Arabia. There were five terrorists on flights 11, 175, 77, and four on flight 93, apparently because at the very last moment the fifth member of their group was not allowed into the United States for fear that he would become an illegal migrant (the guy intended to enter the country having 2800 dollars and not having a return ticket on hand).

One terrorist in each group had flight training from one of the flight schools, where the Arab guys attracted attention by learning only how to fly an aircraft in the air, ignoring the classes in which they taught how to take off and land. At the same time, other terrorists were rehearsing the capture of the aircraft with its subsequent retention.

The capture of aircraft took place according to the same scheme. The terrorists waited for the plane to gain altitude and the flight attendants to start delivering food, after which they broke into the cockpit, where they changed the pilot to their own. At the same time, they used edged weapons (, office knives for cutting paper), several flight attendants, at least one passenger and at least one pilot (John Ogonowski, captain of the aircraft, flight 11) were immediately killed during the capture.

It is worth noting that, apart from John Ogonowski, the pilots were left alive, apparently in order to, if necessary, be involved in the management of the liner. Threatening with an explosive device, as well as cold steel, the hijackers drove passengers into the tail section of the aircraft. It is not difficult to guess (and the flight recorders confirm this) that panic arose among the passengers, in a sense, a friend and ally of the terrorists.

And the terrorists changed course and some time later rammed pre-allocated buildings.

September 11, Flight 93 - how it was

About flight 93 I would like to write in more detail. For me, it is interesting, first of all, in the context of the relationship between people and non-humans, who play with other people's lives for the sake of only them understandable "higher interests". This plane did not reach the goal, which was either the White House or Congress, because the passengers and flight attendants prevented the terrorists.

On board the aircraft were two pilots, five flight attendants and 37 passengers, four of whom were hijackers. Ziyad Jarrah from Lebanon, the leader of the group, who had previously received flight training, and his three Saudi Arabian accomplices. Consider the chronology of events.

Flight 93 was scheduled to board at 08:00 and depart at 08:01. However, due to the heavy load of the airport, the flight was delayed until 08:42 . Who knows, perhaps in this way life gave people (people, not creatures) a chance for salvation, but it was not destined to take advantage of it.

By this time, Flight 011 had already been hijacked, and after another 4 minutes crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Flight 175 was just in the process of being hijacked, flight 75 will be hijacked in 9 minutes.

On these three flights, no more than half an hour passed from the moment of takeoff to the beginning of the capture. For some reason, the terrorists waited 46 minutes on Flight 93.

IN 09:02 Flight 175 rammed the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and it became clear that all these events (2 air rams and the hijacking of Flight 75) were nothing more than a terrorist attack. Controllers began to send warnings to all aircraft in the air. At 09:24, the pilots received a message - " Beware of cockpit intrusion - two planes crashed into the World Trade Center» At 09:26, the FAC sent a reply: « Ed, confirm the last message. Jason»

IN 09:27:25 the crew responded to the dispatcher's usual call and the seizure began immediately.

IN 09:28:17 crew crew sent a distress signal Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!". The sounds of fighting could be heard in the cockpit. After 35 seconds, the distress signal was retransmitted. Someone in the cockpit was shouting: Mayday! Get out of here! Get out of here!»

IN 09:31:57 Jarrah, the leader of the terrorist group and "part-time" suicide pilot, announced: " Ladies and gentlemen, this is the commanding officer. Stay where you are and don't get up. We have a bomb on board, so sit down.»

Probably realizing that the aircraft was coming under the control of terrorists, the captain changed the communication settings in such a way that the dispatchers heard Jarrah's announcement.

The dispatcher asked, "Who's calling Cleveland?" There was no answer. For some time in the cockpit there was a struggle between the terrorists and one of the flight attendants. Against the background of the sounds of the struggle on the flight recorder, you can hear the terrorists ordering someone: "Sit" "Don't move" "Shut up" "Lie down." Judging by the voice, some woman tried to resist, but she was either killed or rendered harmless in some other way. Someone said in Arabic: “It's all right. I finished".

IN 09:39:11 Jarrah made the announcement again, which was also heard by the controllers: "" The captain of the ship is speaking. Stay where you are. There's a bomb on board and we're going back to the airport to make our demands. Please don't make noise».

Passengers and flight attendants began calling families, friends, and the police to inform them of the incident. Starting at 09:30, 35 calls were made by "aerophone" and two calls from mobile phones. Ten passengers and two flight attendants managed to get through. They were informed about the attacks, and people in trouble realized that they were also in the clutches of suicide bombers.

This is how a person is arranged, in him faith in the best is indestructible, in the sense, in the lesser of two evils. A person believes in what he really wants to believe, and sometimes his brain clings to this belief for a long time. "Everything will be fine". “Now they will put forward their demands, and negotiations will begin with them.” "Help will come, of course." "The Lord will not leave us in trouble."

In order to be saved, one had to act, but even in this case, the chances of success were not very great. However, the worst thing in such a situation is to play by the rules of the terrorists. What to do, in life sometimes you have to choose not between “good” and “bad”, but between “bad” and “even worse”.

IN 09:45:25 someone in Arabic ordered to return the pilot, and at 09:48:38 someone already in English ordered (obviously, the pilot) to take a course.

IN 09:53:20 someone in Arabic someone suggested to scare everyone using .

Approximately at 09:57 the passengers decided to storm the cabin. The terrorists became suspicious.

IN 09:58:33 someone in Arabic said "Go, guys", after which he began to cry out to Allah. ("Alla Akbar"). The sounds of a struggle could be heard outside the door.

IN 09:58:55 someone shouted in English: “In the cockpit!”.

Jarrah banked the plane to the right, then to the left, in 09:58:57 he shouted in Arabic: “They are climbing over here. Don't let them! Don't let them! Hold on! IN 09:59:52 The suicide pilot started throwing the plane up and down. IN 10:00:03 he stabilized the plane and after 5 seconds asked: “Well, is that all? Shall we get it? To which the other terrorist replied: Not yet. As everyone enters, then we will finish". Apparently he hoped to reach the goal. I am more than sure that, going into action, the terrorists first used drugs.

IN 10:00:25 behind the door someone shouted: Everyone in the cockpit! Otherwise we will all die!". Passengers used a delivery cart as a ram. Jarrah again threw the plane up and down, after which at 10:01:08 he asked: “Well, what, down?”, To which he received the answer: “Yes, down.”

Passengers continued to storm the cabin. IN 10:02:18 someone shouted in Arabic: “Down! Down". Behind the door was heard in English: “We are falling. Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!”

Now panic reigned in the cockpit. IN 10:02:33 someone shouted in Arabic: “Hey! Hey! Give me! Give me! Give me! Give me!"

WITH 10:03:02 – 10:03:09 but in the cockpit one could hear the repeatedly repeated “Allah Akbar!”

This phrase was the last recorded by the flight recorder.

The committee's conclusion states that " the hijackers retained control of the plane, but decided that in a few seconds the passengers would break into the cockpit”, but some relatives of the victims believe that the passengers managed to break into the cabin and even kill one terrorist.

The exact time of the fall varies from 10:03 before 10:10 , at a speed of 906 km per hour, in an inverted position at an angle of 40 degrees, the plane crashed into the ground. All 44 people on board were killed. At the site of the fall, a funnel formed about twelve meters in diameter and about three meters deep.

The damage caused by the September 11 attacks is irreparable

The South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed at 9:56 am, the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 am. The people who remained on the upper floors died. Only 18 people managed to get out of the hit zone in the South Tower and escape. 1366 people died on the upper floors of the North Tower, more than 600 in the South Tower.

At least 200 from the top floors of the towers jumped down, preferring to crash to their deaths than to die from the smoke. Some tried to climb onto the rooftops of the towers, hoping to be evacuated by helicopters, but the doors to the roof were locked and the fire and smoke made it impossible to use the helicopters.

In total, 2977 people became victims of the tragic events (19 terrorists are not included here): 246 passengers and crew members, 2606 people in New York, in the WTC buildings and on the ground, 125 in the Pentagon building. Citizens of the United States and 91 other states died, including 96 citizens and immigrants from the countries of the former Soviet Union. 24 people remain on the list of missing people.

The Western world was shocked. At the same time, joyful carnivals swept through a number of Arab countries.

There are different opinions regarding the events of 9/11. Up to the point that the attacks were set up by the US government or intelligence agencies, that the Pentagon and the World Trade Center buildings were rammed not by planes at all, but by. What was originally laid in the buildings, and, moreover, in the most vulnerable places. That the planes, in fact, were controlled from the ground, and the hysterical Arabs were used as a distraction.

It is possible that our entire world is controlled from a single center. The only question is who controls it. And, it is very likely that this is not God at all.
