Why do truthers always assume the U.S is immune to attack?
Was the Oklahoma bombing an inside job?
How about the attack on the U.S.S Cole?
The London subway attack?
The Columbine shootings?
Jeffery Dahmer?
If someone wants to kill in a free society, people are going to die, especially if the person doing the killing doesn't care about living himself.
If someone wanted me dead, I'd be dead, my local police dept could quadruple their budget, I'm still going to die.
We all know why the planes weren't shot down (well most of us with a brain do). They couldn't be located in time and due to budget cuts NORAD's focus was on potential attacks coming from the perimeter. What's never discussed (at least by truthers) is the extraordinary nature of these hijackings.
A normal hijacking usually consists of the perpetrator making demands and holding the plane hostage.
In the meantime the pilots are relaying information to the tower, security forces start making preparations on the ground, the process usually lasts for hours, giving authorities time to assess the situation and make decisions.
On 9/11 the hijackers actually wanted to fly the plane and were prepared to die, so the pilots were killed, transponders turned off and no one was notified anything was wrong.
Now eventually the hijackings were discovered but how are you supposed to shoot down something you can't locate, don't know is in trouble and if you do manage to find them why would you shoot them down? You have no idea these planes are about to be crashed into buildings momentarily.
How was anyone to know these sadistic cowards planned to actually fly a large passenger plane into a building and kill themselves too?
How do you negotiate when the other side is hell bent on being a martyr and won't talk?
Various government agencies should've been more co operative and proactive to possibly prevent what happened that day but truther hindsight doesn't change reality.
Evil smart men hatched a plot to kill thousands and were successful.
