Thats two years old Stirling, but if true, shocking of Israel to let 3000 people die just so the USA can know what terrorism is!It"s a tough way to let your allie learn to tighten up their borders, with friends like that, who needs enemys? For all we know, information could have been passed on and not acted on. Genuinely heard that there was a lot of ignored intelligence. I doubt we'll ever get the truth, although in 50 years time, it will probably be on the History Channel with all kinds of stuff we don't know yet. I always get a slightly weird feeling when I look on the phone and it's 9/11. It just wouldn't have the same ring to it, the way we do our dates. 11/9 just sounds wrong.

one of those few days in my life where I can remember exactly where I was & doing (painting the outside of a house in Addiscombe) I was sitting having a beer in British Club Islamabad watching sky news. Suddenly several High Commission staff rushed out, wonder who they worked for? Within days all the wives and children were evacuated on a specially chartered plane, having had armed escort to airport. Scary times for them but my kids were too young to understand the enormity of the situation. Wife said she had never seen such young fit men as cabin crew! They, of course, were not cabin crew. One of the worst days of my life watching them

Yeah, possibly mate, same ring? I see what you did there!

One of the worst days of my life watching them I had just come in from a weeks holiday in the Greek isles, went to bed, put radio on, heard first plane gone in, thought it would be a 5 seater piper, then hearing the second just had to get up and put tv on.Deffo a strange day, even over here, eerie feel like the world is ending.

I was listening to talk sport and Mike parry came on mic to say a plane had hit the tower. Assuming it was a small plane; then the second plane hit and the truth was out there. 230pm ish. I was working in canary wharf so a lot of movement and police. Sad day when the world changed.

It was reported on back in 2001 when the arrests were made. I've seen the Fox news clips. Interestingly the media went silent about it shortly after and its not mentioned in the mainstream at all. You will hear it mentioned that most of the hijackers were Saudis a hundred times over but not a peep about Mossad knowing. There is a reason for that. Mossad of course denied everything at the time as the agents were quietly sent back. But it's practically right there when you look at it. But I realised long ago that only a few really care about what's true over what's convenient. If you go against what the system wants, it comes for you....just ask Assange and many others.

Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Sep 2021 7.21pm) Certainly not proven that Mossad knew. Quite a jump from agents being present to foreknowledge. This is an interesting take on it tho [Link]

When I was a youngster I wanted to work in Canary Wharf. What was it like? Busy and BIG. Security everywhere and even more after this. I went on a call out just this Saturday night and went through 2 security checks to get to Cabot Square. I know the UK is always a target so can understand why. Never be too careful when jihadists are around.
