Absolutely! When they collapsed, the buildings ended up in the foundation bath tub. Neater than it could have been but still a pain to remove. Plus, if I recall correctly, the nose gear from one of the aircraft was found in 2011... 10 years after the event!

All the steel was packed onto trucks and shipped out to China to be recycled. Why the rush and need to get the evidence out of the country within days? The police or FBI would've went mental at a crime scene being pulled apart like that. If I'd lost someone there, I'd have been asking why they trucked it all up and the operating to ship it out to China in days began and the security for those trucks and at the docks was excessively overboard.

Probably not. It is more likely that sympathetic members of ISI (Pakistan’s Intelligence Service) assisted UBL.

Two things, 1.) Simon drew "the line," on the conspiracy talk to stay on topic. Speculation seems like an impossibly easy thing to fall into on this issue. Great video. 2.) My air conditioner kicked on around the 14:50ish mark right when I SWORE I heard Simon say "The mission to fly in 25 BABY seals aboard helicopters who would then storm the compound and kill Bin Laden...." I had to back the video up to listen to it again...and again, and now I can't unhear it. Not to make light of a serious topic, but man, it really sounded like some badass baby seals were about to wreak havoc.

I was in Toronto. Just got home after an 15 hour day rigging a show at the Skydome, which then got cancelled when it was considered a potential target. I was called back TO THE POTENTIAL TARGET to take the show down. I refused, not because it was a target (it wasn't really) but because we were all so tired, it was unsafe. I had also already poured myself a drink before turning the TV on at the 'end' of my day. Drinking and heights don't mix... No one went back, and as I understand it, the venue didn't charge any extra for the days delay...

“According to the few official statements released in the aftermath of the raid, the helicopter did not suffer any failure but skittered around uncontrollably in the heat-thinned air forcing the pilot to crash-land. As it did, the tail and rotor hit on one of the compound's 12-foot walls.” For the life of me I thought there was a scientific term for all that but I can’t think of it

I happened to be in detention too during lunch when 9/11 happened. Odd shared detention experience lol Except the teacher let us watch it on the news as it was happening, and that's when the second plane hit. She then quickly shut it off as a few other teacher gathered out in the hall where they rolled the tv out to, and continued watching without us.. Wild realization at the younger age to think that an actual terrorist attack was happening! To see the fear in the eyes of those who have family in NY is something that stuck with me throughout the years growing up.

I was in school in 3rd grade on 9/11. The teachers weren't allowed to tell us what what was happening, but a lot of other kids we being picked up early and we didn't know why. I remember when I was picked up, first thing I asked my parents why they packed me lunch if I was being picked up early.

There’s a fantastic tv show called The Newsroom and they did an episode about the killing of OBL. The episode was titled “5/2” and highlighted the steps that the fictional media company ACN had to take in order to ascertain if the information and rumours were correct. If you’ve never seen the show then I highly recommend it as it’s very funny but also serious as to how the news is portrayed.

September 11th, 2001: I was in school, I had been excused to go use the restroom. While indisposed I heard someone running down the hallway screaming at the top of his lungs: “WE HAVE BEEN ATTACKED!” On my way back to class every classroom door was open with the news blaring on every television. Once I made it back to class an announcement was made over the school PA system stating that school was mandatorily being let out early as a result of what was going on. Watching the Twin Towers fall, and the rest of that hell at such a young age is something that will stick with me for the remainder of my life. So sad!

We cant forget how tactical Seal team 6 were. They have talked about the raid a bit. Theres even a book about it. Yes, we still cant be sure who actually took him down, but we can read about the tactics they used. Such as standing in the stairs and shouting Osamas sons name so he would pop out his head and see what it was. They also had to treat it as a hostage scenario. To see who had a gun or not in an instant, in the dark while at the same time expecting a real fight with his followers. The courage they have to even go inside there.
