The Twin Towers Being Built and the Mentioning of Afganastan


Strange Coincidence!!

We see the beginning of the Twin Towers being built and the code word Robert Redford uses is Afghanistan Bananastand.

And in the end it was an Afgan who took down the Twin Towers.

Eerie!

Interesting point but completely wrong - Fifteen of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon . You must have American Media (no offence intended - it's not your fault)

I wasn't referring to the hijackers, I was referring to Osama.

I can see by your tone that you are someone who goes around starting arguments just for the sake of arguing.

True, I dont know a who lot about that scum of the earth and I dont care too, I thought he was born in Afghanistan but I see he is just an Afghan fighter, he resides in Afghanistan so as far as I am concerned he is now an Afgan. But really I dont care. But I will rephrase my original comment to

That's better ! I hate ignorance (he lives in Pakistan by the way - you just cant stop yourself can you lol)............. Normally i like to talk about films & it seems i have forgotten to do that on this occasion . This is a wonderful film from the Seventies - i was genuinely surprised by how clever & well acted it turned out to be . The psychology they employ to extract information out of Zero Mostels character is just Cinematic Gold - i have to assume this film was based on a very good book & if so they brought it to the screen superbly - Enjoy 8/10

The author Westlake just died a few days ago. Hot Rock was the only successful adaptation of the Dortmunder series.

Best not to upset your main dealer 'vpilutis' - it's a bit like a junkie walking up to his crack dealer and calling him a *beep* - there's gonna be repercussions .

So jpmkam, it is not feasible that it was an inside job; and you are absolutely certain that we are the only lifeforms in the entire universe?

Idiots who think that we are alone in this Galaxy of billions of solar systems are much like the people who thought the Earth was flat .

To BELIEVE in life on other planets is ridiculous. That's faith-based thinking. One can certainly hypothesize the likelihood and probability, of course. That makes the most sense.

There is recent evidence of microbal life on Mars & even Jupiters moon Europa . Sooooo there is life on other planets IN THIS SOLAR SYSTEM - there are billions of solar systems in this Galaxy alone . So mathematically & literally you are an idiot .

I think that there is life on other planets in the Universe.

Sadly, that intelligent life is only technologically 15 minutes ahead of the Earth's and so they will not be able to overcome the time-distance logistics to ever visit Earth.

Well the Freemasons had their eye on Afghanistan even back then. And so they probably built the Twin Towers just so they could blow them up and blame the Afghans for it somehow. I mean, there really wasn't a need for building the Twin Towers. The project was a total money pit and a bigger money pit during its operating years. And Robert Redford is also probably a Freemason so that is what that is about.
