7. Actualy it was 911.6 with the leap year.
If they were going to strike during rush hour, which most terrorists do. Because its predictable of course.

To make it 911 days they had to strike the day that they did.

If they had struck the day before it would have been 910.6 days.

Check it in a calendar program, and set both the attack times to EST. I will look for a site online where you can do intervals so you can do it for yourself, and don't have to take my word for it.

911.6

Of course this is al-qaeda or some islamist you'd have to be living in a spider hole for the last 3 years to not think so.


Spain is the third partner in the 'coalition of the willing'. And they are the weakest of the three so of course you attack them.

Just like when Australia was the third partner back in 2002, then Bali came. After that Australia took a much less visible role in the war. As Spain likely will.

15. Okay
Get NYC times in GMT

GMT vs EDT

Get Julian day number

Julian Date Converter

8:46 AM EDT (NYC) = 12:46 GMT on 9-11-01 was which is JD=2452164.03194

6:39 AM GMT (Madrid) on 3-11-04 is JD=2453075.77708

Subtract to two JDs to get the span = 911.74514 days

8. Hey, you just proved it to yourself!
Good job.

Now convince me why Al Qaeda would care so much about the number of the date in the american calendar and plan a major bombing on a different number.

10. So its just a coincidence?
Im not a conspiracy theorist but this is just too much of a coincidence not to have been planned.

18. Probably.
I think Al Qaeda is more concerned about other things then coordinating attacks to happen one day after a specifc number of days of a value equal to that of the numerical date of the american calender of an attack on a certain date which was not numerically significant in the first place.

If it is not a coincidence it would be more of a frame job. Remember the anthrax letters some american was sending out and trying to make it look like he was a foreign muslim? He dated it month/day/year, like americans.

Now if an attack occured 119 days after 11/9, you might conceivably have yourself something that might raise an eyebrow.

16. Allow me.
Because western nations including america discount attacks on them and call them 'accidents' or blame it on some other obscure group.

So they try to make as many 'coincidences' as possible so that it proves that they did it.

Of course for most americans a dark skinned arab shouting allah ahkbar and murdering them, they would still say ahhh but there is still a possibility I'm not being killed by an islamist.

After all we are americans and we are better then everyone. No brown skinned person could ever kill an American. Plus we are 'winning' this war on terror. After all we got Saddam therefore we stopped all terrorism! This just shows that our war is doing nothing to stop the terrorists, and like in all wars there is a terrible price to be payed. Of course Europeans are to delicate to be able to be told things like that.

If you think your government or the spanish government will do an honest investigation into the matter you haven't been reading the news for the last 30 years.

They will come to whichever conclusion gives them the most political benefit. Its called the politics of power and people who ascend to that kind of power understand these politics very well. If they didn't they simply would not be able to rise to the positions they attain.

20. Consider this
There is a band from Omaha called 311. They held a SPECIAL concert on 3/11 in New Orleans of all places. Yes, the same New Orleans that is home to voodoo, debauchery, AND French people. Hmmmmm.

14. No, wouldn't want to jump one somebody for something.
Not like blaming Al Qaeda for the anthrax attacks by writing letters in a demonstratably phony arabic "accent" and dating the letter month/day/year even though middle easterners, europeans, and most everybody else in the world date things day/month/year.

24. Hey Ksec, if this is part of a pattern, what's the rest of the pattern?
In your learned opinion this date proves that Al Qeada did it so why did they choose 9/11 for that attack?
What was the significance of the 9/11 date? Why did they choose 2/26/93 to bomb the WTC? What about 4/18/83 or 10/12/00?

This pattern so convinces you that I want to hear all about it. :shrug:

Please tell me more? :evilgrin:

26. You are the one whos talking conspiracy . I was trivializing .
Shame on me!! Opening a thread that I thought was an interesting bit of trivia. Bad Ksec. Bad! I should have known I would tick off some off the wall conspiracy theorists who dont allow anyone to say anything about Islamists who blow up babies.

30. I said no such thing Sir! You started a thread asking if the 911 days.....
.....time frame is true. Apparently it is. In post #6 you stated that this is somehow significant enough to constitute "proof" that Al Qaeda was involved in this horrible series of terrorist bombings against the Spanish people.

I merely asked how this seemingly co-incidental, random occurrence merits such certainty as to Al Qaeda's responsibility for this heinous act.

If one coincidence causes such certainty in your mind as to the complicity of Al Qaeda, how do you feel about all of the dozens of co-incidences surrounding the Bush* administration's actions pertinent to 911? MIHOP? :shrug:

I just wondered why this makes you so sure. :evilgrin:

BTW, This is a public message board. How can I or anyone other than an Admin or Moderator possibly prevent you from saying "anything about Islamists who blow up babies" that your little heart desires? :)

25. Yes
If you have Microsoft Access on your computer, open it up, make a new (blank) database and save it somewhere, hit CTRL-G to bring up the debug window, and type in:

?datediff ("d", #9/11/2001#, #3/10/2004#)

When you hit ENTER, the result (number of days from 9/11/2001 to 3/10/2004) will be displayed:

911

29. Finally !!!! the connection we've been looking for........
.....between BBV and Al Queda. I knew if we all stared at it long enough, something would materialize.
They both use Microsoft Access for their calculations !
(with apologies to scottxyz - I just couldn't resist)
No offence intended.

32. Further proof of the BBV - Microsoft - Al Qaeda link!

Terrorist Attacks: The Wingdings Prophecies
Netlore Archive
Description: Email rumor/Hoax
Status: Coincidental/False
Circulating since: Sept. 2001
Analysis: See below

Email text contributed by Tiffany, 19 September 2001:

Subject: Did Bill Gates know?

Try this:
1 open up microsoft word
2 in a new document type NYC in capitals
3 highlight and change the font size to 72
4 then change the font to 'webdings' - interesting
5 now change the font to 'wingdings' - even more interesting!!!


Email text contributed by James Allen, 20 September 2001:

Subject: FW: Scary

One of the planes that hit the trade centre towers was flight number : Q33NY

1) Open a new Word document and type in capital letters Q33NY
2) highlight it
3) enlarge the font to 48
4) click on Font Style and select "Wingdings"
You will then will be amazed!!


Comments: I encourage everyone to try these experiments for themselves to see the results. For those who don't know how, or actually have lives and no time to play around with computer fonts, here's what the fuss is about:

Both the Webdings and Wingdings fonts, available in Microsoft Word and compatible programs, consist of small graphic icons in place of the standard letter set. If you convert a given block of text to either font, you end up with a string of pictures.

Excuse me while I go make some popcorn. This should be fun! :evilgrin:

28. The rest of the world doesn't
give a flying f**k.
The DAY THEN THE MONTH is the notation: March 11, 2004 is notated as 11/03/04.
So 9/11 is 11/9 for the rest of the world.
