    The last time I was in NYC the museum was under construction so this was the first opportunity to visit it. It is definitely worth the time, buy your tickets at least a day in advance to get the time you want though.

    There was a good movie at the start going through the process of hunting down Osama Bin Laden. Interviews with President Obama and other people involved in the decision making. I was impressed with Obama's thought process. Some advisors were very concerned about Pakistan's reaction to the incursion into their territory, but Obama felt he could not pass up the opportunity and ordered it to proceed.

    All of the exhibits were good and they had short videos displaying the whole thing which included the plane crash in PA as well as the attack on the Pentagon. It was still disturbing seeing the people jump to their death though.

    It is definitely worth the time next time you are in NYC.

    Def put that on the must-do list. In '96 I got to tour the Hiroshima museum, which was just shocking along with so many other emotions. One building remains to this day, called the A-bomb dome. The bomb exploded in the air directly above it, which is apparently the reason it was the only building standing.

    This got to me as well. Seeing ladies stand out on a window ledge and then in one last human act holding down their dress to preserve modesty as they leapt to their death. Also the voicemails of the doomed in the towers and on the planes was haunting.

    And seeing the exhibit showing the impact of the plane into the Pentagon, the damage pieces from the plane, and knowing that people still deny that it was a plane. SMH

    Here's another picture of it. I took it this spring when my War College class went to Japan and South Korea.

    If I had to bet a large sum of money I'd wager the Mossad and some in the US Deep Syate (and others) knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.

    Article by Ron Unz, a Jew with a self-reported IQ of 214:

    American Pravda: Seeking 9/11 Truth After Twenty Years • 55m [​IMG]
    Who Attacked America in 2001...and Why?

    "The twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks is almost upon us, and although their immediacy has been somewhat reduced by the events of the last eighteen months, we must recognize that they have drastically shaped the world history of the last two decades, greatly changing the daily lives and liberties of most ordinary Americans.

    The widespread doubts about the reality of the official story provided by our government and almost universally promoted by our media has severely diminished popular faith in the credibility of those two crucial institutions, with consequences that are still very apparent in today’s highest profile issues.

    [​IMG]
    Over the years, diligent researchers and courageous journalists have largely demolished the original narrative of those events, and have made a strong, perhaps even overwhelming case that the Israeli Mossad together with its American collaborators played the central role. My own reconstruction, substantially relying upon this accumulated evidence, came to such conclusions, and I am therefore republishing it below, drawn from my previous articles which had appeared in late 2018 and early 2020, with the later material making heavy use of Ronen Bergman’s authoritative 2018 history of the Mossad, which ran more than 750 pages.

    Immediately following my own analysis is a link to a particularly noteworthy article along the same lines by French writer Laurent Guyénot, which we had originally released simultaneously with my own, then followed by more than a dozen other significant articles of the previous decade, all published or republished on this website. In coming days, some of these may also be separately featured as part of the twenty-year commemoration."
