Remembering America's Darkest Day

Tomorrow marks the 14th anniversary of arguably the darkest day of this generation's history; the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. As the years have gone on, I have heard many conspiracy theories regarding controlled demolitons, missles being launched, inside jobs, blah blah blah. I have also watched ad nauseum television coverage of this sad event from YouTube.

 In my opinion, it was clear to me that it wasn't an inside job by our government; we were caught with our pants down, plain and simple. We had zero idea that the terrorists who committed this heinous act would hijack planes and use them in kamikaze-style attacks on both towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. There was a heightened security alert that day, but it was for Americans abroad, not at home (go back and look at the news coverage). A missle didn't hit the Pentagon, it was indeed an American Airlines jet; Flight 77. No missle shot down United flight 93, passengers heroically stormed the hijacked cockpit before crashing into a wooded field near Shanksville, PA. And while jet fuel indeed doesn't melt steel beams, it can weaken them to a point where it no longer supports a tangible weight. That caused the towers to collapse, not a "controlled demolition."

If you happen to get the chance tonight, take a look at YouTube and search for RKOwens4. He has a concise series of videos that debunk every 9/11 conspiracy theory that is known. Here is a link to one of these videos; The Top Five 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Debunked.

 May we never forget the tragic events, the lives that were lost, and the first repsonders who were so valiant in their efforts on America's Darkest Day.
