Good read and salient points made. It sure is strange how both WTC buildings, 6 and 7, collapsed into their own footprints. Not to mention all the other strange things about that day.

Three. The twin towers known as “1 World Trade Center” and also known as “the north tower,” and “2 World Trade Center,” also known as “the south tower” fell, at free fall speed, directly into their footprints as though in a controlled demolition, with bursts of gaseous material bursting out at various floors all the way down. Also 7 World Trade Center also known as the Salomon Brothers building, also fell into its foot print. A number of fire chiefs are still very upset about these matters. One was interviewed by Tucker Carlson early in 2025 iirc You can look it up

Thank you for the correction and information. Wouldn't it be 4 total building then, including building 6?

Building 6 was demolished, somewhat later in the year. It was definitely damaged in the events of that fateful day 2001.09.11 but it was not actually torn down until December of that same year. So, yes, four buildings were damaged, three totally destroyed. And the Pentagon was damaged, though many people don’t think that was done by an aeroplane. A fourth plane was also destroyed, supposedly in a field in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for that information too, I wasn't sure on the details. IIRC weren't there several influential people on board the plane in the field?

I would describe some of them as a bit influential in certain areas.

The most prominent passengers and crew were:

Todd Beamer: An account manager for Oracle Corporation, famous for saying "Are you guys ready? Let's roll" in the most amazing cell phone call of that era, well before such calls were part of routine flying experiences.

Thomas E. Burnett, Jr.: The vice president and chief operating officer of Thoratec Corporation, who kept his wife informed via phone calls that also were of previously unheard clarity

Mark Bingham: A public relations executive and prominent collegiate rugby player

Jeremy Glick: A collegiate judo champion and sales executive who used a telephone to learn about the other attacks

Edward Porter Felt: A highly influential computer engineer who helped establish the protocols for early internet financial transactions
