9/11 Internet Trivia

Here are some 9/11 facts that were just sent to me.


9/11 Facts


1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

5) New York is the 11th state.

6) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.

7) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

8) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11

9) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =
11

10) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

11) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2
+ 5 + 4 = 11.

12) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.
Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

13) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

14) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.

15) The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the
Eagle.

The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the
wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."

16) That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Now open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS: Q33 NY

... that's interesting. I saw (and tried it myself) recently a trick where you fold a dollar bill (a new $20???) and you get two burning twin towers ... I'll have to look it up ...
