The terrorist attacks on 9/11 impacted every single person in the United States and most people around the world. To this day, those terrorist attacks impact how we travel and our overall sense of security.
All this week on "Nightcast" at 10 p.m., Chief Political Reporter Tom Hauser will look at various aspects of those attacks from a Minnesota perspective. We started on Tuesday with how 9/11 unfolded in Minnesota. On Wednesday, KSTP talked to relatives of victims of 9/11 about how their families and others are honoring their loved ones. On Thursday, we heard from a flight instructor and Minnesota FBI agent who nearly unraveled the 9/11 plot before it happened. Plus, on Friday, a Minnesota man who served in the CIA and the U.S. State Department and helped write the 9/11 Commission Report will discuss whether we're safer today than we were 20 years ago and what steps still need to be taken.
A former Twin Cities flight instructor tipped off the FBI about a mysterious and potentially dangerous flight student who was later sentenced to life in prison for his connection to the 9/11 attacks.
"He doesn't know jack about flying and he asks really weird questions," Tim Nelson, a former flight instructor at Pan Am International Flight Academy, recalled. "What's he asking? If I turn the transponder and TCAS off, the traffic collision avoidance system, can they still see me on the ground? Why would you ask that question?"
Nelson was convinced Zacarias Moussaoui was a potential terrorist threat.
"It's a truck bomber with an airplane. I said there's nothing legal he can do with this training."
Nelson's call to the FBI failed to thwart the 9/11 attacks, largely because Minneapolis FBI agents couldn't convince FBI headquarters in Washington of the seriousness of the threat Moussaoui might pose.
"The [Minneapolis FBI] supervisor said, out of frustration, exasperated, don't you know this is a guy who could fly into the World Trade Center?" former FBI agent and eventual whistleblower Coleen Rowley said. "And he said this on the phone to that supervisor (in Washington) on something like Aug. 23rd, maybe something like the 25th. You know, two weeks before it actually happened."
NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!
How true.
You'd be better off sending the information to folks like James O'Keefe at Project Veritas because something would be done about it.
I’ve got a bad feeling about tomorrow...
We all do. Avoid major population centers and events
The story reminds me of the warnings about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
If you want to understand how the FBI really works, read Peter Strzok's released text messages and emails. He was DEPUTY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COUNTER INTELLIGENCE DIV. One would think he would be involved in hunting spies. Yet his day was literally filled with gossiping with his mistress and others about which boss said what, what the media were saying, who met with whom - political ass-kissing and DC bureaucratic climbing.
“Islam is a religion of peace” George W Bush
There is nothing the Muslims could do tomorrow that is worse than what Biden, Harris, and the cabal that runs them are doing to America right now.
This is far too charitable.
Whoever at HQ was hearing about Muslims flying planes into buildings realized it was likely to happen, realized he would not be held responsible when it did, realized that he and all his friends would gain power and influence when it did, and realized that the people who would die were irrelevant, or if they were relevant, were capitalists and likely Republicans.
And he was right.
Even back then FBI dolts only cared about right wing 'terrorists'...Blinded by their own Moby Dick obsessions...
If the TallyBahn has read their Sun Tzu, nothing will happen in CONUS tomorrow. Paraphrasing, “when your enemy is self-destructing, do nothing to interfere.” The last thing they’d want to do is “fill America with a terrible resolve.” It would be the end of Xiden and Xi wouldn’t like that. Not that CamelToe is any better, but at least she is lucid.
Some have even alluded to knowing something about tomorrow.
I got my grocery shopping done today and filled up with gas.
Just want to make sure we have everything buttoned down just in case.
Clinton and Bush administrations failed.
Ping.
I’m not too worried. Not about TOMORROW.
Moslems may like anniversaries, but not to the point it could easily be foiled. I think they’ll pick much different times so we won’t suspect it. They’re wiley like that. And they likely won’t do the same thing again. Unless it’s the average vest bomb on the ground.
Yup.
