FAA Had 52 Warnings
I was just reading about that before I saw this. It's not surprising, really.
Yeah I wasnt very shocked.
Nothing new I'm surprised no one has talked about North Korea officially declaring they have made nukes and will not disarm them.
Whats the FAA?
the Federal Aviation Administration.They are in cahrge of all air traffic in the good ole USA.HQ is in oklahoma or i do know they have a big place in oklahoma in which i have been to.
Federal Airline Administration or something to that effect. edit - What lordblazer said.
And I'm less surprised about the nukes than this.
Wait...we're still talking about this? I thought the elections were already over.
Yeah, it's not suprising...nor is it suprising that this isn't mentioned until we've bombed the hell out of 2 countries and Bush has won his second term.
I like Kung-Fu.
This doesn't surprise me at all. I personally believe that 9/11 was allowed to happen. Im not going to get into it right now, but this just reinforces my opinion about that.
Well Bush was handed a document during his cowboy fantasy in Texas entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack America" or something as plainly titled as that.
they were expecting bombs and ransom demands. Al-Quida (probably spelled that wrong) is really good at thinking outside the box. One has great difficulty defending oneself against an attack that one is wholly unaware of the possibility for.
when those planes were hijacked, everybody onboard probably thought they would be ordered to land someplace and then demands would be made. Only the one that went down in pensylvania had anybody on board who accurately read the intentions of the hijackers.
the one tape where Bin Laden was talking to the Sheik guy and commenting about the effectiveness of the attack and how he was expecting only the floors above the strike to colapse based on previous events, remember that one? justification for the Afganistan invasion? well, I don't remember hearing anywhere of anybody flying planes into skyscrapers before.
It's kinda like when somebody's repeatedly punching you, and in all the fights you've ever had before with people just like this person, all they've ever done is punch when alluva sudden a kick comes outta nowhere. all your defensive strategies are based around punches. you've got nothing against kicks.

However, the FAA has the warnings, and these are the important things about the articles.
"Aviation officials were ``lulled into a false sense of security'' and ``intelligence that indicated a real and growing threat leading up to 9/ll did not stimulate significant increases in security procedures.'' "
"It notes that the FAA did not expand the use of in-flight air marshals or tighten airport screening for weapons. It said FAA officials were more concerned with reducing airline congestion, lessening delays and easing air carriers' financial problems than thwarting a terrorist attack. "
That is the problem. If you cant predict your enemy's attacks, then you do your best to cover your ass. No one tried to cover their asses in this. These planes should not have been hijacked, and perhaps would not have if warnings were heeded and security was tightened.
yeah, i saw that. you have any idea how many of these things are going around at any given time? If we freaked out everytime we got word someone was going to attack something in america using a plane, the FAA would be doing full body cavity searches and sending people on flights naked. you have to balance out how LIKELY they thought it was that this was gonna actually happen, compared to the costs and infringment on passengers freedoms that would be made to try and bump security. You can't react to EVERY warning, or even systems of warnings like these here, they'd be to frequent and america would be even more paranoid than the nutjobs we are now. bad times that this one squeaked throuhg, but i can't blame to FAA for this type of thing.
With the amount and severity of these warnings, the FAA had no excuse to ignore them. They took no precautions what-so-ever. I could understand them not jumping at every one, but after 52 of them, they should have taken steps to try and prevent something from happening. Maybe it still would have happened, but at least they would have tried.
Yeah the FAA has no excuse for this.They killed all these people basicly by not taking Bin laden seriously. Bin Laden being the person with USA CIA training.Yeah I would've tighten air security.I wouldn't have minded having a cavity check if it mean t i got to live.I mean those poeple on the airplane who died during 9/11 wouldn;t have minded.
