EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT of Ron Alford
September 11 2001 at 8:45AM
I was at the JFK Airport in NYC on the way to Tampa Florida for a week of fishing and personal flying.
The captain had just announced that we were number 2 to take off, I happened to look out of the right side window of Jet Blue,s flight # 23 and saw the first billows of thick black moke coming from the first tower of the WTC.
At first I thought back to1990 when I pitched all of the law firms in the WTC about the WTC being vulnerable to earthquakes, rising waters of the harbor, suicides and most of all terrorists reprisals if Israel did not quit annexing Palestine.
My first thought was that some deranged pilot decided to end it all for whatever reason driving his plane into the side of the tower.
Unlike other airlines, Jet Blue has live satellite TV in every passengers seat so I plugged in my earphones and turned the dial to CNN and there it was. In living color CNN's TV camera showed me a Southerly TV shot of the tower burning whilst I looked from my perspective from 8 miles away to see the smoke from the first tower slowly making its way to the Jersey Shore.
Then suddenly as I watched the TV a ball of flames came through the second tower and then I realized that my prediction of 1990 had came true.
Terrorist finally came back to the USA for reprisals against us funding and supporting the Israeli government's annexing of Palestine.
I was instantly crystal clear to me that our arrogant behavior and failure to learn from the Feb 1993 event that the Arabs had a mission to get even with us. I saw that a few desperate and dedicated people had managed to pull off one of the greatest reprisals against the USA in its history.
