9/11 - 11 September 2001

On the 11th September 2001 a series of coordinated terrorist suicide attacks by Islamic extremists brought America to a stand still.

Hijackers intentionally crashed two airliners - United Airlines Flight 175, and American Airlines Flight 11 into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Soon after both towers collapsed.

The hijackers crashed a third airliner- American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon near Washington, D.C.

An attempt was made by the the flight crew and passengers of a fourth airliner - United Airlines Flight 93 to overtake the hijackers, resulting in a crash near Shanksville, Pennsylvania instead of its intended target - United States Capitol.

There were 2,974 fatalities, and 24 listed as missing.

The Record

Some interesting facts about 911:
a) New York City has 11 letters
b) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
c) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
d) George W Bush has 11 letters.
e) The two twin towers make an "11"

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
a) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.
b) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
c) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11
d) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11
e) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..? Read on and make up your own mind:
a) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
b) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.
Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
c) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
d) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.

Sheer coincidence..? Read on and make up your own mind:
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Still uncovinced about all of this..? Try this and see how you feel afterwards...
Open Microsoft Word and do the following,
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
