When Bush said he saw the first plane hit the first tower on TV,

[400Years]

he said something that does not conform to the official narrative.

Is this something that should be discussed?

[stop the bleeding]

1. And what was that??? n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

4. It was impossible for him to see the first plane hit the building

because no footage had been seen yet.

[JuniperLea]

2. I NEVER saw film

of the first plane hitting the tower... the second yes, but not the first! The first plane had already hit when I saw the first footage.

[400Years]

5. Nobody did, until the next day when they got some "found" footage

But bush clearly stated he saw the first on hit and then went into the classroom.

There is a transcript of this exchange on CNN.

7. Me either

Nobody got it I don't think. There's amatures who got the second plane but not the first. Always when you see any video from the attack you hear people gasp and scream and the camera moves up to the towers and you see the second attack happening. There is no video out there. And he said he was in a room watching it happen, so why didn't he do something? Why did he go on with his little photo-op?

8. the only known film of the first plane hitting the WTC . . .

was not released until well after the event -- either later that day, or early the next day . . . it was shot by a couple of French (I believe) videographers who were doing some documentary work in NYC and just happened to see the first crash . . . there is no way Bush could have seen the first plane hit -- unless it was through some sort of closed circuit transmission . . .

15. It wasn't until several days later....

that footage was released showing the first plane.
A french filmmaker was making a documentary with
one of the Tribeca firehouses. They were out on
West Broadway as the plane few over and one
of the Firefighters shouted out "holy shit"

If Bush says he saw footage of the first plane that morning of 911
then he is either mistaken, lying or... tinfoil... they knew it was
going to happen. Personally, I just think he's talking smack.

3. Just another example of him being in on it. But just put on your tin Foil

Hat and enjoy your Kool Aid

6. You mean in this forum...or on DU in general??

There's a Sept 11 forum that might be appropriate depending on what you're talking about

10. Curious.... this is the second thread today on this topic?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=88209

Did something new come out recently?

[Al-CIAda]

11. Why are links to such sites as CNN and Paul Thompson's timeline

which again has copious links from all mainstream sources, are 'unreliable conspiracy sites'?


Dunno.

[400Years]

12. interesting

QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?

BUSH: Well...

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you, Jordan (ph).

Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly myself, and I said, "There's one terrible pilot." And I said, "It must have been a horrible accident."

[Al-CIAda]

14. There's that unreliable CNN link.

:thumbsup:

Much more verification and evidence put to the lie on the locked thread sabra posted a link to as well.

[OneBlueSky]

13. I've found that, in speaking to people about 9/11 . . .

it's more effective to simply point out why the "official" story is an impossibility without speculating about any BushCo involvement in the event . . . they tend to listen to facts, but seem to tune out when they hear anything that suggests a "conspiracy theory" (although the official explanation is the most far-fetched conspiracy theory there is) . . .

so my line is usually something like "I don't know WHAT happened on 9/11; I only know that what they said happened didn't" . . .

16. Saw F-9-11 last night - Bush was totally lost for those 7 minutes

I liken it to if someone informed you that your family was attacked -- and you remain seated actually selecting a book to assure the kiddies not to get upset?

Bush? The perfect Manchurian Candidate with limited mental faculties, what more could the noecons ask for!

[Freddie Stubbs]

17. Considering how often Bush misspeaks,

how likely is that he meant the second plane?

[Atman]

18. I loaded tapes into the VCR.

I have the entire first day's CNN coverage on tape. No one saw the first hit on teeve. No one, not live at least. Maybe on the closed circuit teevee in Bush's limo.
