Terrorism Terrorism is viewed differently, most people sees it as a horrible crime whereas others sees it as a holy duty. Obviously, a lot depends on whose point of view is being represented. Al Quada Al Quada is a global militant Islamist organization founded by Osama bin Laden. World Trade Center At 8:46 a.m., five hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the northern facade of the World Trade Center's North Tower and at 9:03 a.m., another five hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the southern facade of the South Tower. Pentagon Five hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. Pennsylvania A fourth flight, United Airlines Flight 93, under the control of four hijackers, crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh, at 10:03 a.m. after the passengers fought the hijackers. Flight 93's target is believed to have been either the Capitol or the White House. Air defence stand down theory A common claim among conspiracy theorists is that the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) issued a stand down order or deliberately scrambled fighters late to allow the hijacked airplanes to reach their targets without interference. According to this theory, NORAD had the capability of locating and intercepting planes on 9/11, and its failure to do so indicates a government conspiracy to allow the attacks to occur. The Web site emperors-clothes.com argues that the U.S. military failed to do their job. Stand Down. net's Mark R. Elsi says, "There is only one explanation for this ... Our Air Force was ordered to Stand Down on 9/11. In 2001. It was the wise president himself that was in control of NORAD, which is very spectacular. No-planes theory Nico Haupt and former chief economist within the Labor Department under the Bush administration, Morgan Reynolds, argue that no planes were used in the attacks. Reynolds claims it is physically impossible that the Boeing planes of Flights 11 and 175 could have penetrated the steel frames of the Towers, and that digital compositing was used to depict the plane crashes in both news reports and subsequent amateur video. "There were no planes, there were no hijackers," Reynolds insists. "I know, I know, I'm out of the mainstream, but that's the way it is." According to David Shayler, "The only explanation is that they were missiles surrounded by holograms made to look like planes," he says. Inside traders knew about the attack before it happened
