Identifying a Myth in a Mass Medium


having been 12 years old when the world trade center towers collapsed, i had never been very educated on the whole story. there are so many details that had been left out in my case because i had been so young and careless. i remember my mom coming to pick me up for my orthodontist appointment on september 11, 2001 and i had initially had no knowledge of anything happening. we were listening to talk radio the whole entire time and i was bored to death because none of it really pertained to my life.

being much older now and more concerned about society, and america in general, i realize that there is so much more to this story than what had met a 12-year-old's eye. my friend suggested that i watch this series of videos on youtube entitled "9/11 coincidences (part x)". it explains countless circumstances that many would consider coincidences on that tragic day but they put it in a perspective of all of these things being part of one giant conspiracy. whether anyone believes them or not is up to their imagination and how they allow their mind to wander... i, myself, still don't feel educated enough on this particular topic to have a firm opinion on what happened that day but i think that this series of simple youtube videos is a perfect example of a presence of a conspiracy.


in his name,
