The planning of the attack of September 11

The attack that killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, the United States began to be planned in 1993, after an explosion at the World Trade Center itself. The action failed-90s would destroy the twin towers and leaving more than 250,000 dead, but killed six people.
Dissatisfied with the explosion of a much smaller than expected, began to search for Ramzi Yousef, known as "chemical" the skill with bombs and explosives to destroy the symbolic towers of the World Trade Center.
"The attack of September 11 began to be thought effectively in a lunch when Ramzi, who had tried to blow up the towers, and his friend Abdul Murad presented to Khaled Sheikh Mohammed [KSM] the new plan for ending the World Trade Center : turning airplanes into missiles to destroy the buildings, "says Ivan Sant'Anna, author of the book" Plan of Attack ", which reconstructs the planning and the moments leading up to the shock of the aircraft with their targets.
The book is based Sant'Anna, plus testimonials from relatives of victims involved and the official report of the U.S. Congress on the attack, "The 9/11 Commission Report." The document, over 580 pages, deals with the events since the plans for the so-called Operation Flying to the details of execution, recounted in statements by Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, currently imprisoned at Guantanamo.
According to the report, it was only in 1999 that KSM formally joined al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden gave the green light for Operation Airplanes. Then start choosing pilots and others who participate in the suicide mission that had everything to go wrong.
"The September 11 told a lot with the luck factor. Initially Osama Bin Laden wanted to participate in the mission only born in Mecca, but it would be impossible to achieve willing men, and that they had enough knowledge to steer the aircraft. Then enter the lot. Four men with higher education, who lived in Hamburg and therefore dominated the English, were recruited to fight in Chechnya and eventually integrating Aircraft Operation "said Sant'Anna.
The day's open and clean, that Tuesday, September 11, 2001, would also be crucial to the "success" of the attacks. With cloudy weather, perhaps inexperienced pilots were unable to reach their targets.

History of Halloween

Today, the day of Halloween, my grandmother told me a story that made me uncomfortable and that has not left me rest. The story prayed something like this:

"One day, I was with a friend in my room, more or less when I was your age, when we heard some noises coming from the attic. My friend, who was so fearless, I wanted to go see what was going on, although I did not want to go because I was full of fear and furthermore was allergic to dust and to remedy the rats. Seconds after she left the room where we were, just hear the sound of the door hitting, merciless groans from my friend and an evil laugh that did not get to know what it was ... I wanted to move, run up to the attic and go save her from whatever it was, but I could not move me, and I was still as if I were dying too. Time later, I came to myself as if everything had not passed a dream but now actually my friend was not there. I called, called and grabbed me to the attic door that was closed and did not realize what had happened ... what is certain, is that day was October 31, 1975 ... Beatriz tells you something? "

Dear diary, now you know all my words and fearful all my fears whenever repeats this day? Was my grandmother kidding? I think not, for I saw in his eyes wet, that emotion of those who do not mind.

Curiosities about the Twins Tower

* Once the planes collided and exploded in the Twin Towers, each shook violently for about four minutes. The buildings also warped about to change the view that people had their windows. In the next few minutes, the towers turned slightly to the starting position, but not completely.

* In the months following the attacks, scientists have tried to explain the kind of energy that was generated by the collapse of the towers. They even compare the two landslides with the atom bomb, saying it amounted to 1% of the explosion of an atomic bomb. They also said that the 
energy generated by the falls would have been sufficient to supply all the houses and apartments in Miami or Atlanta for a whole hour.

* The impact of landslides was so strong that unleashed waves of tremors in the earth that were detected by meters to 500 miles away.

* According to American engineers who analyzed the violence of the fall of the towers, a cloud of toxic dust, created landslides, lightning struck at least two miles. This is because half of a building is composed of empty space, or air. When was the falls, this huge amount of air displaced was fiercely out of the towers.

* Pieces of the body of a man who was in one of the floors directly hit by the first plane in the north tower, were found five blocks away from the World Trade Center (WTC).

* Of the 2,753 dead, only 289 whole bodies were found in the wreckage of the towers. Altogether, more than 21,800 pieces of bone, cartilage, skin and organs were collected at Ground Zero (where were the WTC buildings). Over 6000 of these fragments are so small they fit in test tubes. A team of doctors working in the recognition of the remains came to catalog up to 200 pieces of the same person.

* About an hour after the attacks, firefighters at the base of the North Tower saw a column of aluminum liquid leaking on the side of the building. The plane was melting. It is believed that the temperature at floors directly hit by the aircraft has reached 1000 ° C.

History of Halloween

To scare these ghosts, the Celts placed in homes, frightening objects, eg, skulls, bones decorated pumpkins adorned among others.
Being a pagan feast was ordered in Europe during the Middle Ages, when it came to be called Halloween. Those who celebrated this date were persecuted and condemned to the stake by the Inquisition.
Aiming to reduce the pagan influences in medieval Europe, the Church Christianized the party, creating the All Souls Day (November 2).

Rescue and recovery from the attack of Sept. 11

               The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) quickly ordered 200 units (half of the department) to the site of the attacks, whose efforts were supplemented by several firefighters and paramedics off.  The New York City Police Department (NYPD) sent Emergency Service Units (ESU) and other police officers, along with deploying its aviation unit. Once on the scene, the FDNY, NYPD and Port Authority police have not coordinated efforts  and ended up redundant to conduct research civilians. As conditions deteriorated, the NYPD aviation unit relayed information to the commanders of the firefighters, who issued orders for its personnel to evacuate the towers, so that most of the officers was safely evacuate before the buildings collapsed.  With separate command posts set up, and radio communications between agencies incompatible, the warnings were not passed along to FDNY commanders.After the first tower collapsed commanders sent firefighters evacuation warnings, however, due to technical difficulties with malfunctioning radio repeater systems, many firefighters have not heard the evacuation orders. Within hours of the attack a major search and rescue operation was launched. After months of operations, the site of the World Trade Center was cleared in late May 2002.
