9/11: Tenth Anniversary

[RedHand88]

What defences were stood down on 9/11??
F-15s were over NYC in minutes.

They were busy elsewhere.

Taking part in drills  for the  exact same scenario  at the exact same time. 

When the planes were  reported hijacked  , there was confusion  , many  thinking it was part of the drill.

Similar thing was  reported in London  on 7/7. Drills going on simultaneously as  the attacks.

So not stood down then lol
NORAD were running a drill for missiles from outside the US, which you'd expect.
The confusion lasted seconds before it was confirmed it was real life and not a drill.
I just don't get the conspiracy in this.

Edit. There were no live drills on the day of the 7/7 bombings. All of these conspiracy theories fall apart once you look up the reality.

As I said...

"There are similarities  with 9/11 and 7 Oct where  defences  were stood down  (or just happened  to be busy elsewhere), which then gave  US/Israel  reason to  go to war/carry out a genocide"


The confusion  only lasted  seconds yet they didn't  intercept  or shoot down any planes knowing what was happening?

I  don't obviously believe  everything that's out there but you have to admit there are a lot of things that just don't  add up about 9/11 (or 7 Oct). So  while you don't understand so  called conspiracy theories  around the likes of 9/11 , I just don't get why anyone would swallow anything the  US (or Israeli) governments put out.

As for the 7/7 drills...

What does a private company doing a tabletop exercise have anything to do with the official crisis response on 7/7? How did it affect the response in any way??? Who was "stood down or busy elsewhere"?
Was preparing for such scenarios in a post-9/11 world not completely normal?
