a) It was not impacted by a plane b) There was a CIA organization these

III. On the other hand, some people agree with the version that al-Qaeda guided the attacks.

a) The reason why al-Qaeda did it b) The impact of the airplanes was strong enough to pull down the towers

The Culprit Behind the Sempember 11 Attacks
by Alejandro Perez

“It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth … For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.” - Patrick Henry. Most people know what happened on September 11, 2001. New York City became paralyzed when two airplanes crashed the Twin Towers, which were the most iconicbuildings of the city. The USA government held the terrorist organization al-Qaeda responsible for these attacks. However, the government’s official report did not clarify or even mention all the events that happened that fateful day. Since the official report did not state how the Twin Towers and the World Trade Center Building 7 fell down, people feel that it was a conspiracy. Although two airplanes crashed the Twin Towers, it does not explain why the towers collapsed. “The horror in New York took a catastrophic turn for the worse when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke” (The History Channel, 2012, para. 5). The South tower and then the North tower both fell down in a perfect waterfall effect, as it happens in a controlled demolition. Asquith (2006) argues, “The horizontal puffs of smoke - squibs - emitted during the collapse of the towers are indicative of controlled implosions on lower floors” (para. 10). This evidence points that the collapse of the towers was controlled. Besides these towers, another building of the World Trade Center “mysteriously” fell down. Even though the World Trade Center Building 7 also collapsed, this event was not mentioned in the official report. “The building had not been hit by a plane, only damaged by fire” (Asquith, 2006, para. 12). The collateral damage that the building received was not enough to pull it down. Moreover, the strangest thing is why the government did not mention this event, as if it never happened. Asquith (2006) also states, “WTC 7 housed a clandestine CIA station, which the scholars believe was the command centre for the planning of 9/11” (para. 12). It seems that the government wanted to “ vanish ” something. For skeptics, this evidence seems to be hard to believe. On the other hand, some people agree with the version that al-Qaeda guided the attacks. “Reportedly financed by Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist organization, they were allegedly acting in retaliation for America's support of Israel, its involvement in the Persian Gulf War and its continued military presence in the Middle East” (The History Channel, 2012, para. 3). Following this belief, there is an explanation about the Twin Towers falling. According to The History Channel (2012), “The structural steel of the skyscraper, built to withstand winds in excess of 200 miles per hour and a large conventional fire, could not withstand the tremendous heat generated by the burning jet fuel” (para. 5). This theory could explain the collapse of the Twin Towers, but it does not explain the waterfall effect. Collapsing a building from top to bottom requires precision that only dynamite, located at strategic positions of a frame, can provide. Making credible this theory requires convincing evidence, which has not been provided. September 11 was a day that changed the course of history. The conspiracy theory that surrounds the fall of the Twin Towers and the WTC 7 got strengthened since the official report did not state a strong argument. Evidence points that al-Qaeda was not who led the attacks, as the government affirms. So, with such as circumstances one wonders what kind of persons are ruling. September 11 is a day that remains us the fragility of our society. References Asquith, C. (2006). Who really blew up the twin towers? //The Guardian//. Retrieved from []
