#DidYouKnow that Michael Jackson perfomed at this 30th anniversary concert,just the night before 9/11 at #NewYork?
Infact MJ was supposed to be at WTC on 9/11 to return a $2mn watch he used for the concert & a diamond necklace for his friend Elizabeth Taylor
Luckily he overslept!

Since major News networks had already reached the site after the first attack on North tower,the entire US witnessed the hit on South Tower live on TV. Ground reporters reported in horror as they saw the 2nd plane hitting the tower right infront of their eyes

Despite such obvious evidences many people including some A-listers like Marion Cottilard,Woody Harrelson,Charlie Sheen & Mark Ruffalo believe that it was some sort of government conspiracy.

What you're seeing is the exact moment when President George W Bush finds out that US is under attack.
He was in an official visit to an elementary school that day

@UberFacts @KrisSanchez

Due to frictions & communication breakdown with FBI,CIA didn't feel the need to share info on the terrorists involved in 9/11 despite knowing about it 18 months before the incident
John O'Neill,the FBI agent who was at the forefront of this investigation...

..that had warned the govt about an impending attack,was removed from FBI just months before the attack.
As ill luck would've it,he joined as the head of security at WTC & eventually lost his life on that fateful day.

Watch 'The Looming Tower' on @PrimeVideo for more on this

Apart from popular claims of Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga & Nostradamus predicting about 9/11,a promotional poster for Spiderman (2002) showing the reflection of Twin Towers in Spidey's eyes was released back in 2001
An episode of Simpsons(in 1997) too hinted about it,in hindsight
