The black day (i found this disturbing)

Yup, you guessed it this does regard the 11/9 attacks just take alook at these figures pull out your calculator if you don't believe them:

The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

September 11 has 9 letters and 2 numbers: 9+2=11.

The number 911 is the international telephone number for emergencies.

September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.

The first plane to hit the towers was American Airlines Flight 11.
The Flight 11 call letters were AA11: A=1, A=1, AA=11.
Four of the hijackers on flight AA11 have the initials A. A. for their names: AA=11.

The fifth AA11 hijacker was the pilot, Mohamed Atta, 11 letters, and AA in last name.

Flight AA11 had 92 people on board - 9 + 2 = 11.

Flight AA11 had 11 crew members - 2 pilots and 9 flight attendants.

The target of Flight AA11 was in New York City -11 letters.

The State of New York was the 11th State added to the Union.

Trade Center is 11 letters, and Skyscrapers is 11 letters.
World Trade Center Towers is 22 letters - 2 x 11 =22.

The WTC Twin Towers - standing side by side, look like the number 11.

The WTC Towers are each 110-storeys high.

The North Tower of the WTC was the first to collapse. It fell at 10:28 A.M. -1+2+8=11.
The 1st Fire Unit to arrive to the WTC towers was FDNY Unit 1. Unit 1 lost 11 firemen.

The WTC towers collapsed to a height of 11 stories.

After 99 days of burning, NYC declares the WTC fires are extinguished - 9 x 11 = 99.

The World Trade Center fires burn continuously for 99 days, between September 11, 2001 and
December 19, 2001. The World Trade Center fire is the longest burning commercial fire in U.S. history.

The plane that hit the Pentagon was United Airlines Flight 77 -11 x 7 =77.

Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11.

The target of Flight 77 was The Pentagon - 11 Letters.

One of the walls of The Pentagon collapses at 10:10 A.M.
According to the FBI, earlier terrorists originally planned to hijack 11 planes.

Thirty days after the attack, the FBI releases a Most Wanted Terrorist List with 22 names.

Mohammed, the prophet of the Muslim faith, died in 632 A.D. - 6+3+2=11.

The Taliban's Manual of Afghan Jihad (Holy War) is 11 volumes.

119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran - 1 + 1 + 9 = 11.

The League of Arab States is comprised of 22 Arab nations - 2 x 11 = 22.

The suspected base of the terrorists is Afghanistan - 11 Letters.

Osama bin Laden's birthplace is Saudi Arabia - 11 letters.

The US President's plane is Air Force One - 11 letters.

George W. Bush's Air Force One is numbered "29000" on the tail - 2+9+0+0+0 = 11.

*gets calculator*

Nope
That equals -6 and 2 11ths

Another coincidence:

'NYC' in Webdings spells: NYC
'NYC' in Wingdings spells: NYC



Anyway, those are just coincidences. I don't find it disturbing or strange...


I think some people have too much time on their hands!

9+1+1=-6 2/11

Yeah, right... [moves away slowly, avoiding eye contact...]
But I can see what you've done: that's meant to be a dash, not a subraction sign. 9/11 means the eleventh of the ninth (i.e. September the eleventh).

And I like those webdings/wingdings.

I love this sort of thing. My life would grind to a halt if people didn't have enough time to discover such 'coincidences'.

I know he meant the 11th of September but he said,
"9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11. "
In words: nine divided by eleven minus nine plus one plus one equals eleven

Type that into your calculator! It definately doesn't equal eleven!

He didn't mean - as minus. I know where you got confused, but he maint 9/11 and from that comes 9+1+1=11...

Drunk Ur

He didn't, he used a dash ( - ).
This is a minus sign: ( - ).

They are clearly distinguashable, any any mistake made is your own fault.





No hang on, I think I put them the wrong way round...

I've seen things like those before... Interesting coincidences. But that's all they are, in my opinion.

A lot of these are just coincidence. I read somewhere that the same thing can be done with the number 2. And If these guys planned this just so everything can match then they are crazier than you think.
