00:00In this scenario, four commercial passenger jets take off as scheduled.
00:07Here is a timeline of this theory.
00:318.30 a.m. in the alternate theory,
00:34a rogue plane painted to look like the real thing
00:37assumes the flight path of American Airlines 11,
00:41which is diverted to a secret airfield
00:43controlled by the military in Pennsylvania.
00:538.46 a.m.
00:55Another rogue plane swaps with the real American Airlines 77.
01:01At this same time, rogue American Airlines 11
01:05hits the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
01:098.53 a.m.
01:11Rogue United 175 takes on the flight path of United Airlines 175.
01:19Meanwhile, American Airlines 11 lands at the secret airfield.
01:259.02 a.m.
01:27Rogue United Airlines 175
01:30strikes the South Tower of the World Trade Center
01:36as the real United Airlines 175 lands.
01:569.37 a.m.
01:59Rogue American Airlines 77 passes over the Pentagon
02:03and a fighter jet or cruise missile under remote control
02:07crashes into the West Side.
02:2110.06 a.m.
02:23United Airlines 93 is shot down,
02:26eliminating all innocent witnesses.
02:30This timeline accounts for many things,
02:33but like the other conspiracy theories,
02:35it has at least one major flaw.
02:38It would require a very large number of people to succeed.
02:43For 9.11 to have been a conspiracy,
02:45we would be talking about several thousand people
02:47having to be involved.
02:49We'd be talking about people in the military,
02:51we'd be talking about people in the police,
02:53we'd be talking about people in the New York City government,
02:55people in the national government,
02:57people for the airlines.
02:59We'd be talking about relatives of some of those
03:01who were supposed to have phoned,
03:03officials at National City and statewide,
03:07those who were responsible subsequently
03:09for intimidating other witnesses out of talking.
03:12We'd be talking about the demolition teams
03:14who were sent into the towers.
03:16We'd be talking about the people who let them into the towers
03:18in the first place, who saw them go in
03:20and decided not to give witness afterwards.
03:23Thousands and thousands of people.
03:25So obviously the US government has a long history
03:29of being involved in all kinds of shenanigans
03:31and dishonest things, but this is so far beyond the pale.
03:34This would be a conspiracy that would have to involve
03:37thousands if not tens of thousands of people,
03:39and it involved the slaughter of 5,000 or 6,000 people,
03:43and there were just so many moving parts,
03:45and that's just not the way that conspiracies work in real life.
03:48It's too massive and too messy,
03:50and it just involves too many people
03:52for them to pull off successfully.
