Just Human #377

part of the i agree with peter haig here part of the effectiveness of those attacks as a propaganda tool, it goes far beyond it being an attack on what was considered the capital of the world in a way, the capital of capitalism, the economic center of the world, all those things.

This was a very, very carefully planned, long-term plan attack.

And they accounted for many, many things.

And one of the things that...

That's not been appreciated enough, I think is what Peter Haig observes here.

Part of the effectiveness of the attacks as propaganda was the hit on the North Tower, making sure that the media had plenty of cameras pointing at the WTC to see the South Tower get hit.

They didn't just want to kill infidels.

They wanted to force other infidels to watch them do that.

And by the timing of the planes hitting allowed for maximum attention to be on those towers when that

second plane hit.

Here's a video I had not seen, but I think is really informative.

And it shows about an hour before the South Tower fell.

It shows what the impact did to the building.

And you see, oops.

Okay, y'all didn't hear that sound.

Good.

The sound on this is really bad.

I'm glad I had y'all muted.

You can see the tower swaying about 20 or so inches back and forth after the hit.

If you watch this band right here, you can see it swaying.

And

that's, I don't want to call it a feature, but the construction of these towers matters.

The way they were constructed matters a great deal to the story of 9-11, to the story of why they fell the way they did, why so many died the way they did, why this manner of attack was so successful on al-Qaeda's part.

And part of that construction is the tower being able to sway like this after that.

The towers were designed to take a hit by a jet airliner.
