The Darkened Hour

In this episode Adam explains the background of 9/11's 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui. We examine the FBI's failure to open his laptop after he was detained, asking whether this is normal procedure or an indication of something more sinister. We also examine what is know about the laptop's contents and whether it could have prevented the 9/11 attacks.

In this episode Adam explain the attempted hijacking of a fifth flight on 9/11, that of United Airlines Flight 23. This flight was delayed then grounded due to the attacks taking place.
Four Arab men, acting suspiciously, abandoned luggage containing box cutters, Korans and Al Qaeda training manuals, yet the FBI concluded nothing untoward was going on and they were never tracked.

We go straight into an interview with Wayne Coste where he explains the research journey he went on that led him to conclude, based on physical evidence, that Flight 77 did indeed crash into the Pentagon.

Many 9/11 conspiracy theories center around Israeli involvement, often portraying the event as principally a Zionist plot. In this episode Adam boils this issue down to what is definitely known, separating out fact from speculation.

In this episode Adam draws on the book The Road to Al-Qaeda to talk about the background of Al-Qaeda's leading figure, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. The books author, Egyptian human rights lawyer Montasser Al-Zayyat, was a friend of al-Zawahiri and provides unique insight into his radicalisation and turn to violence.
 
Adam and Richard then discuss al-Zawahiri's role in the 9/11 attacks and his relationship with the CIA and NATO as described by whistle-blowers such as Sibel Edmonds. Has he been an asset, witting or otherwise, all along?

In this episode Adam and Richard discuss the ostensible pilot of Flight 93, Lebanese hijacker Ziad Jarrah. Jarrah is often presented as the poster child for radicalization, coming as he did from a very moderate Muslim family and only connecting with radicals when he moved to Hamburg, Germany. Indeed his family have never accepted he was a radical or involved with the 9/11 attacks. Is there any merit to their claims? Does a family connection to Israel's Mossad cast this story in a different light? Can we prove he was the man who flew Flight 93 into the ground? These are the questions explored here.

Journalist Sander Hicks has authored two books on September 11th, The Big Wedding and Slingshot to the Juggernaut. We were keen to talk to Sander as he covers aspects of 9/11 not often found elsewhere. In this interview he tells us the story of Dr. David Graham, the whistle-blower who, prior to 9/11, reported two of the hijackers to the FBI - before dying in the most suspicious of circumstances. He also tells us about Mohamed Atta's CIA connected friend Wolfgang Bohringer and the Deep State connections of the FBI's Carson Dunbar, the man at the centre of the 1993 Trade Centre bombing.

Physics teacher David Chandler joins us to explain his work on the collapse of World Trade Centres One, Two and Seven. Prior to the interview we collated the core criticisms we could find of David's work and we put them to him here.

We've felt it would be helpful to recorded a short discussion about what, as non-physicists, we're hoping to achieve by interviewing David Chandler on the destruction of the World Trade Centre Buildings. The interview itself will follow this post. Adam and Richard.

Welcome to the Darkened Hour! In this inaugural episode Adam and Richard discuss their plans for the podcast. They talk about their motivation for starting it, the philosophy underpinning it and what they're looking to achieve in the area of understanding September 11th and the wider geopolitical world.
