Piggybacking on <
lkrupp's provocative thread> from June 2009, i just discovered an interesting viddy from 9/11 wherein author Tom Clancy is being interviewed as events unfold. [in fact, if you can bear the 10 minutes of length (complete with bad editing in which around 4 minutes get repeated all over again), you'll see WTC-7 collapse at the end... going down perfectly symmetrically, like a work of art.]
What i find most surprising is that
a) it seems this video didn't get up on YouTube until late 2007, and
b) despite being there over 2 years now, it's only been viewed some 7,899 times. [if we can trust those counters, mine would have been number 7,900.]
FWIW, Clancy is the author of many famous books... at least one of which has some bad guy crashing a Boeing 747 into the Capitol building. It was
published in
1994. I can't help recalling Bush's words on TV one day, saying in effect:
“no one could have imagined or predicted that terrorists would hijack planes and crash them into buildings.†Â
 idunno... i think the FAA (and the airlines) should have been ordered to prevent hijackings by all means possible, long before 2001.
