Amazing New Pictures Raise Questions

First Take A look at this amazing sequence of images taken from the air on 9/11.

The images were taken by a Russian pilot, living in the USA who flew his cessna 172SP to within hundreds of feet of the towers and snapped off the shots. By chance he was right by the towers as flight 175 came in and struck the South Tower.

When he approached to George Washington Bridge he tuned to a local 1010 WINS news radio station. He says that at that time there was news that “a small plane hit WTC”. Then he switched to hear what other pilots flying above Gudson are talking about, but they discussed same thing “a small commuter that hit WTC”.

He got even more closer and noticed another BOEING 737. He says that the BOEING was flying the same way it usually does when going to landing from La Guardia destination, probably a little bit lower than usual.

And then suddenly this BOEING 737 changes his course making a very sharp curve, targeting the South WTC tower.

He shot it at the moment it hit the building.

The pilot has reportedly stated that he does not believe that the maneuver he witnessed the plane perform up close could have been carried out by someone who had only received cursory flight training in a cessna like his own. He is apparently of the opinion that it was "some very experienced military pilot making his last kamikaze mission."

The official timeline on 9/11 states that NEADS received notice of the hijacking of Flight 11 nine minutes before it struck the North Tower. NORAD initially claimed it was notified by Boston Flight control that Flight 175 had been hijacked at 8:43 a.m.

After 9/11, NORAD and other sources claimed that NORAD was notified at this time that Flight 175 had been hijacked. The 9/11 Commission, however, later concluded that New York flight control gave NEADS its first notification that Flight 175 had been hijacked at 9:03 a.m.

Also at 8.46am FAA air traffic control in New York picked up an abnormality on Flight 175: its beacon codes changed twice within one minute. New York flight controller Dave Bottoglia was in charge of monitoring both Flights 11 and 175. He had just watched Flight 11’s radar blip disappear over New York City, but did not realize the plane had crashed. “Within seconds” of losing Flight 11’s blip, he realized that Flight 175 was also missing. He had another controller take over all his other planes so he could focus on finding Flight 175. He tried contacting the planes several times unsuccessfully. Just as Bottoglia noticed an unidentified blip on his radar, its transponder signal came back on, but at a different signal than before. “There is no longer any question in Bottoglia’s mind that he’s looking at a second hijacked airliner,” according to later MSNBC reports.

The head of the NY flight control center, Mike McCormick, later told CNN that he saw the burning WTC live on TV, he said, “Probably one of the most difficult moments of my life was the 11 minutes from the point I watched that aircraft, when we first lost communications until the point that aircraft hit the World Trade Center. For those 11 minutes, I knew, we knew, what was going to happen, and that was difficult.”.

This means that he decided at 8:52 a.m. that Flight 175 had been hijacked and was on a suicide run to New York City. Still, according to the 9/11 Commission, NORAD was not informed until after 175 had crashed.

With all this in mind why was the Russian Cessna pilot, and presumably others that were airborne, allowed to keep flying a course directly towards the twin towers? All the time this pilot got closer it was known that flight 11 was missing, a plane (which some had said was a cessna) had crashed into the North Tower and 175 was hijacked and heading towards New York.

You'd think he would have been told in no uncertain terms to stay the hell away from the area, but no, he was allowed to fly directly toward the towers and pass within a few hundred feet without incident.

Perhaps it was the same reason why airborne fighters were not sent to Manhattan until at least ten minutes after the second tower was hit and did not arrive there until twenty two minutes after the second hit, even though logically they could have been there BEFORE flight 175.

The pictures have emerged at the same time as A former Boston Center air traffic controller has gone public on his assertion that 9/11 was an inside job and that Donald Rumsfeld and the Pentagon tracked three of the four flights from the point of their hijacking to hitting their targets.

After the Russian pilot had passed the Towers he tried to land but was told to fly on to New Jersey and land there. He then hid his camera so nobody could know he was filming.
