Yeah they said on the two towers one that the CIA knew they were terrorists and learning to fly but they failed to tell anyone else which resulted in them getting in to America with no problems at all which really amazed me

I was surpised at that and what shocked me more was that they had these terrorist on file and they let them pass through the airport.. Or the comments by the immgration guy who said that US have relations with the Saudi so just to let the guy in ...
Yeah its amazing really, i mean no one will ever know now if it could have been prevented if people had acted, but its always going to be a what if thing, maybe if they had done something to keep those guys out them 3,000+ people could possibly still be alive, but now people know that top people in America knew about them guys i think some people may lose a bit of faith they have in the police force to protect them.Quote:

why werent these things looked into a bit more.
why would a bloke want to learn how to fly a plane but not take off or land in it, obviously now we know why!
I watched a recorded doc about Rick Rescora - the man who was originally from Hayle, Cornwall, but was the Head of Security for Morgan Stanley, last night. Brilliant. He made everyone practice evacuating the towers every 3 months and predicted that after 1993, the next attack would be from the air. He ensured all bar 6 of the 2,700 people that worked for Morgan Stanley survived the attacks and lost his life whilst doing so - what an amazing man!!
Was that the man who predicted 9/11, i saw that, well some of it as it was on a bit late, what i saw though was goodQuote:

I missed the first half because i was on the phone :( but i saw some of it after that, it was good, shame the man died, but he died a hero, not one that many people know about but still a hero all the same
yeh i saw that one when it was on before, it really was amazing that he got nearly everyone out, shame he died in the process thoughQuote:
