When Terror Drills Turned Real:
9-11, the London Bombings & the Sinking of Estonia

The past two decades have been marked by a large number of man-made terror events which remain unsolved to this day. Several of these events, which involve heinous crimes of mass murder, are similar in a most remarkable way. These are the disasters which occurred during security drills or military exercises in which the scenario was incredibly similar, if not identical to the real-life terror attack.

Understanding the nature of the exercises that created the background and framework for these attacks is essential to understanding how the attacks were carried out. The fact that these real-life terror events occurred within the context of virtually identical terrorism/security exercises has been completely ignored by the media -- as if the exercises had never happened.

Of the major terror events that occurred during such exercises, we will look at three specific examples: the aerial attacks of 9-11, the bombings of the London Underground and a bus in 2005, and the sinking of the Baltic ferry Estonia in 1994.

While there certainly have been other major disasters that occurred within the context of military exercises, the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk in 2000, for example, and the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes in the Persian Gulf, the three events being discussed here involved attacks on civilian transportation systems far from any war zone.

The three disasters were all handled in the same way by their respective governments and media. In each case, before a real investigation could begin to establish the facts and examine the evidence, a politically acceptable explanation was put forward by government officials and repeated, without question, by the mass media. Evidence and facts that contradict the "official" version of events have been confiscated, destroyed, or simply ignored.

The extremely hasty and improper sale of the steel from the World Trade Center to distant Asian smelters, for example, must rank as the most egregious case of destruction of evidence from a crime scene in American history.

SELLING THE EVIDENCE - The steel from the WTC, the most critical evidence to determine what really caused the towers to collapse, was quickly destroyed after being sold to Asian smelters. Alan D. Ratner of Metal Management and the New York-based Hugo Neu Schnitzer East profited from this criminal destruction of evidence. Ratner sold the WTC steel to Chinese companies, reportedly selling more than 50,000 tons of steel to a Shanghai steel company for $120 per ton. Ratner had paid about $70 per ton for the steel.

Likewise, during the official dive for evidence to the wreck of Estonia, on which more than 852 people are known to have died, the crucial locking bolt from the bow visor, which officials blame for having caused the catastrophe, was thrown back into the sea.

The bolt from the Atlantic lock had been detached by divers and brought to the surface for investigation only to be thrown back to the sea by B
