Weird 9/11 Facts

I don't actually believe 9/11 was set up by the government I just found these facts pretty weird.


1) New York City has 11 letters



2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.



3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to
destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.



4) George W Bush has 11 letters.



5) The two twin towers make an "11"



This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more
interesting:





1) New York is the 11th state.



2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers
was flight number


11.



3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11



4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was
carrying 65 passengers.


6+5 = 11



5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is
now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11



6) The date is equal to the US emergency services
telephone number 911.


9 + 1 + 1 = 11.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own
mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the
hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar
year.


Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.



3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1
+ 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.



4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the
Twin Towers


incident.



Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own
mind:
Now this is where things get totally eerie:



The most recognised symbol for the US, after the
Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse
is taken from the Quran, the Islamic



holy book:


"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken
a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be
felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while
some of the people trembled in despair still more
rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the
lands of Allah and there was peace."



That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.



Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and
see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand
on end:


Open Microsoft Word and do the followingTRY THIS FOR
REAL)



1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight
number of the first


plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.



2. Highlight the Q33 NY.



3. Change the font size to 48.



4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS




scary huh??

Some of those are true (and strange coincidences) while others are merely made up. You can look them up here http://www.snopes.com/rumors/elevens.asp

The absurd email forward included below combines three earlier hoaxes
that have been circulating in one form or another for several years.




The message first draws attention to the high number of "elevens" that
can be derived from names or elements pertaining to the September 2001
attacks on the United States. It then discusses a verse supposedly
taken from the Quran that seems to predict The US involvement in Iraq.
Finally, it claims that the flight number of one of the 9/11 planes
shows a pictorial representation of the attack on the Twin Towers when
converted to the "Wingdings" font in Microsoft Word. As discussed
below, all three of these claims are unfounded.




The continued recurrence of the number eleven in relation to 9/11 may
seem to have some weird relevance at first glance. However, it is easy
to manipulate the details of an event so that an apparent numerical
pattern emerges. There are many other 9/11 elements that have no
relation to the number 11. For example, "World Trade Center", "Twin
Towers", "Osama Bin Laden", "American Airlines," "United Airlines" and
a great many other 9/11 related items do not add up to the number
eleven. In fact, hundreds of items could be legitimately included on
such a list, the majority of which have no "eleven" connection. In
other words, the person who created this "elevens" list carefully chose
only those 9/11 related items that fit the pattern and discarded all
others.





Furthermore, the hoaxster is apparently quite willing to bend the truth to fit the story. Flight 77
was carrying 64 people not 65 as claimed in the email. The message also
claims that Flight 77 hit the Twin Towers. However, Flight 77 crashed
into the Pentagon, not the World Trade Center.




In addition, the email states that the "total number of victims inside
all the hi-jacked planes was 254". However, this is untrue. Various
reliable sources concur that the total number of people on the hijacked
planes was 265 (see Data Table
below). If you subtract the 19 hijackers, the total number of victims
on the planes (passengers and crew) was 246 not 254. Neither 265 nor
246 add up to eleven.




Thus, claims of some supernatural association between the terrorist
attacks and the number 11 are blatantly contrived and highly misleading.




The second part of the message claims that Chapter 9 Verse 11 (9.11) of
the Islamic holy book the Quran contains a startling prophecy
presumably related to the US invasion of Iraq. However, research
indicates that the quoted verse does not appear in the Quran at all.
Chapter 9 Verse 11 of the Quran is concerned with repentance and
charity. Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation Of The Holy Qur'an, records Verse 11 as:



<blockquote>
But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise
regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain
the Signs in detail, for those who understand.
</blockquote>


Other translations
may differ slightly in wording but carry essentially the same message.
None make mention of the "wrath of the Eagle" or any other elements
contained in the "verse" quoted in the message.





The Quran "verse" has also circulated as a separate message with the following description:


<blockquote>
This is something to think about! Since America is typically
represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim
passages...
</blockquote>
The final part of this hoax email claims that
changing "Q33 NY" to the Wingdings symbol font in Microsoft Word will
reveal a hidden message directly related to the 9/11 attack on the twin
towers. Q33 NY rendered in Wingdings is:



Certainly, this combination of symbols is likely to make even the most
cynical readers do a double take when they first observe it. However, a
minimal amount of research reveals that the Wingdings claim is based on
an outrageous lie and therefore has no validity what so ever. None of
the planes involved in the 9/11 attacks had the flight number "Q33 NY".
The flight numbers of the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers were
in fact "11" and "175". Clearly, someone has simply made up this
supposed flight number in an attempt to make the spurious claim seem
valid. In an absurd twist, the current version of the hoax actually
contradicts itself. One part of the message states, "The first plane
crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11." Later in the
same message it states "Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight
number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers."




Some have claimed that "Q33 NY" was actually the tail or registration
number of one of the planes. However, this is also untrue. The actual
tail number of Flight 11 was "N334AA". Nor did any of the other
hijacked aircraft have the registration number "Q33 NY" (see Data Table below). Searches of the Federal Aviation Administration website afforded no results for "Q33 NY". In fact, most civil aircraft registrations in the United States start with the letter "N" and nationality and registration markings are commonly referred to as "N-Numbers".





Flight and tail numbers aside, the Star of David
in the Wingdings "message" has little relevance to 9/11 since the
attacks were not perpetrated by or directed at those of Jewish faith.
This hoax actually builds on a foolish conspiracy theory involving
Wingdings that goes back as far as 1992. Typing "NYC" ("New York City")
in Wingdings reveals a skull and crossbones symbol, the Star of David,
and a thumbs up symbol. This has been interpreted by some
conspiracy-theorists as a deliberate anti-Semitic message. Microsoft
has denied that this arrangement of symbols is anything more than an unfortunate coincidence.




In short, this email message is a load of baloney and it should not be
forwarded. Hoaxes that perpetrate falsehoods about real terrorist
attacks are especially heinous. One wonders at the mentality, and
motives, of the imbeciles who create hoaxes of this nature. This hoax
message dishonours the memory of those who lost their lives in the 9/11
attacks. Please do not forward it.

thats weird but i bet it's coincidental

Thanks Saxon....that's a lot of info I wouldn't have otherwise...and helps explain what would have been pretty interesting...now it's just non-sense!

Like I said I don't believe those facts have anything to do with the 9/11 incident I believe that those are some very odd coincidences. And like Saxon said I do believe the person that made thought of that made some stuff up.




P.S My Grandpa was in the first building hit. And he was just a couple floors down from where the plane actually hit, but he made it out alive.

but he made it out alive.

That is cool.



I just copied that off a hoax-busting website. I did not come up
with any of that on my own. I did do the wingding thing before I
googled, and it was pretty freaky - just not real, I guess.

Yeah I found it weird too. That is a pretty big coincidence but what would 9/11 have to do with microsoft word fonts?

did you know slayer releseased god hates us all on 9/11
