I cant find any sources for this claim except REALLY hoke-y websites yet many seem quite convinced its true

Anyone know a good site that examines this?

BBC 'normal' enough for you?

FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.

the time stamp from that article

Sunday, 23 September, 2001, 12:30 GMT 13:30 UK

have there been any developments in the past 5 years?
OK so 9 days after the attack there may still have been some doubt, but is there any serious doubt at this point in time?

The Arab newspapers quoted in the article were mistaken.

The hijackers are all dead.

eta: If you have any doubt about this, why don't you locate a story by a reputable western newspaper corroborating this? Of course, the lack of any such stories will only confirm in your mind that the conspiracy is even bigger...

For me, the issue is not that there was confusion in the weeks afterwards, but the FBI didn't just go with names. They went with photo's too.

And it may have been 4 years and bit since the BBC ran the story of how that particular named hijacker is alive and well, but so far as I know the FBI still lists this 'alive' dude as one of the hijackers. (Complete with photo too.)

Do you have the slightest bit of evidence any of them are alive? All you need to do is find one single reputable source...

I'm saying nothing about conspiracies, and it's disingenuous of you to imply I'm some tinfoil wearing 'Bush-did-it' conspiracy nut.

I'd love to see some evidence for this, one way or another.

Of course not, you're a true "skeptic", which is why you believe the guy is alive w/o any evidence.

Evidence for what, that he's dead? Not much DNA recovered from the WTC debris. It would be a simple thing, however, to prove he's still alive. The fact that 4 1/2 years later he still hasn't shown up should tell you something.

No, I don't, since the whole 9/11 stuff doesn't interest me in the slightest.

That said, a few minutes googling through some news services did turn this up...
http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/spiegel/0,1518,265160-2,00.html

which seems to indicate quite clearly that the BBC were in error.

Oh well, nobody's perfect, not even the BBC.

Idiot. I don't believe the guy is alive. I simply tried to answer the OP as best I could. And I freely admit that I don't know or care about the events of September 11th. I'm not American, and it just didn't bother me a whole lot.

Evidence for what, that he's dead?

No. Evidence that the quoted sources were wrong. Which I found, once I took a few minutes to look.

Just as well, since your attitude was EXTRAORDINARILY helpful under the circumstances. :rolleyes:

Yes, only Americans should care about the events of 9/11.

Maybe next time you should research before you post, and not simply parrot a 9/11 conspiracy site. It would be easier to take you seriously then.
 
Oh, those hijackers. I assumed Pipe was referring to additional hijackers who didn't participate.

They are not dead. They are living in the same government compound where all the passengers are living. After all, the planes didn't really crash into the buildings, don't you know.

Maybe next time you should hold off with the knee jerk ad-hominems, yeah?

I vaugely remembered reading something about this on the BBC ages ago. I googled the terms "bbc hijackers alive" and looked at the first link.

Then went over to www.fbi.gov and searched for the guys name, and the hijacker list. Thought it was odd, but it matched with what the BBC site had. Then I posted.

You want to run through the investigative process you used, before you decided I was a kook who believed the hijacker was alive sans evidence, and was getting my research for conspiracy sites?

Huh?

Didn't think so.

Any chance this is the same compound where all my missing socks seem to run off to?

Seriously, snopes needs a page on this. It seems too highly held since there arent good refute resources easily found
