    9/11 was an inside job, period.

    So many lies came to light and they had an answer for it, people continued to believe it.

    I'm not the only one who has said the above. There was an agenda and the US Government created the perfect excuse at the expense of innocent lives.

    Have to admit I've become a little obsessed with 9/11 since that day, mainly because I was an innocent 17-year-old sixth form student necking pints on his lunch break in the local British Legion (the old boys loved us there), and witnessed the second plane hitting the south tower live. We bunked off the rest of the afternoon to watch it all unfold, and I spent days glued to the news on my little (old skool aerial) TV in my bedroom from thereon.

    Just finished watching a whole catalogue of 9/11 documentaries and the images/stories still get me, so much so I flew out to New York three years ago and took part in the Tunnels to Towers 5k, which retraces the journey some fallen firefighters made when they ran the whole length of the Brooklyn tunnel to try and save people. It was an incredible day, and I even got to see Rudi Guliani's face melting in person at the end.

    Sounds silly (and probably quite offensive to those who were there) but I really do feel like I have a connection with that day, even though I was thousands of miles away drinking £2 pints of Fosters. It was the first major tragedy/attack I'd ever witnessed and it was all playing out live in front of my eyes, from a place I'd only ever seen in the movies. It hit me almost immediately how huge it was, and I knew it was going to become one of the most infamous days in history.

    The proceeding days are a bit of a blur, but I do remember there being a fear that more attacks were coming, be it in America or the UK. Obviously they did, but not for some time, and not on the same scale.

    I've been up the new World Trade Center twice since it opened and to stand there on the upper floors imagining what those people went through is just beyond comprehension, especially when you have the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State building on either side. It's still unfathomable to me that it actually happened, but it did, and we all saw it live. Crazy.

    Yeah and the Queen is a lizard, the Moon landings never happened and Elvis lives with the Loch Ness monster above a chip shop in Cleethorpes.

    Dave needs some letters added to his name, and the maternity wing named after him. What a hero.

    The shocking thing about this is , I'm not shocked anymore .

    Still alleged & sketchy news coverage but taxi driver deserves some top recognition for his actions , I'm sure the alleged dead bomber is enjoying their martyrdom & 72 virgins .

    I wonder did he suspect something when the guy changed his destination from a cathedral to a hospital.

    The footage released doesn't really tally up with the story of the driver locking his doors before jumping out the taxi, he was still in there when the bomb went off and the car hadn't even stopped moving.
    Not trying to disparage him at all I'd just rather wait for the official version of events before I start reacting to the story in any way other than relief that the only victim was the perpetrator.

    Watch it again and look where the guy in the High-vis vest picks him up, I'm pretty sure he did manage to jump out of the car whilst it was moving. Not sure how the car came to a stop, I can only think that the bomber pulled the handbrake.
