They're Alive! Alive!
No, they're not. This won't convince the CT nutbars, but the BBC takes a look back at the story that gets cited as "evidence" that the hijackers were still alive.
We’ve carried the full report, executive summary and main findings and, as part of the recent fifth anniversary coverage, a detailed guide to what’s known about what happened on the day. But conspiracy theories have persisted. The confusion over names and identities we reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and Islamic names.
In an effort to make this clearer, we have made one small change to the original story. Under the FBI picture of Waleed al Shehri we have added the words "A man called Waleed Al Shehri..." to make it as clear as possible that there was confusion over the identity. The rest of the story remains as it was in the archive as a record of the situation at the time.
We recently asked the FBI for a statement, and this is, as things stand, the closest thing we have to a definitive view: The FBI is confident that it has positively identified the nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Also, the 9/11 investigation was thoroughly reviewed by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States and the House and Senate Joint Inquiry. Neither of these reviews ever raised the issue of doubt about the identity of the nineteen hijackers.

The Zionists really didn't think this thing through. You've got to kill the patsies before you frame them.
These alleged hijackers aren't that impressive, either. Why don't they just go to the press?
Sloppy all around. JFK, the moon landing - those were conspiracies. This 9/11 thing was just totally half-assed.
Welcome back PD
You have fulfilled your destiny, just as we all knew you would.
Ok guys, who won the free movie tickets for predicting a CTer would come over here and simply claim "They were gotten to"...come on, who won??
TAM
Lol i just checked PD's site. Looks like he can only comment on things posted on debunk sites. I guess he is to stupid to actually check things for himself, so he just rants away at the debunkers.
TAM Does he ever provide proof or just make hollow claims?
You have to love the way pdoherty rose to the challenge and told us exactly what errors he's found in the "official" version of the 9/11 attacks.
What's that? Yes, I know. No, he never will. He's a fraud, remember?
"A man called Waleed Al Shehri..." to make it as clear as possible that there was confusion over the identity.
Ok, so who was Waleed Al Shehri if there was confusion over the identity?
Oops yet another question:
Al Watan said a young man with the name Hamza Saleh Alghamdi left the country 18 months ago for Chechnya. A graduate of a religious high school, he phoned home several times from abroad but did not tell his family where he was, the Arab News said. Still, the father of Alghamdi told Al Watan that the picture provided by the FBI was not that of his son. "It has no resemblance to him at all," he said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A19549-2001Sep24¬Found=true
So who was the hijacker posing as Al Alghamdi? Hmmm seems to me at least 2 of these dead hijackers aren't who they are suppose to be.
