there's a possible chance that if ramzi was able to get a U.S visa, hani would not have been needed for the plot.

i saw ts at the 9/11 museum 10/10 recommend everyone go. that shit is boneeee chillingly cool man

[chainmurders]

Ironically I have never been but maybe I will before the replace it with a trump theme park

[donteventry-itdude]

YES!!!! please try to go it’s so freaking cool and i’m such a nerd about 9/11 it was a great experience

[chainmurders]

Hmm... do they let niquabis inside? 😅

[penttbommaxxing]

yes!

by law, the museum cannot discriminate against religious coverings. the most that would happen (to niquabis) is for you to verify your identity since you do need an ID to go inside (they'd ask a female security guard to verify of course).

"From "Before oath to jihad, drifting and boredom" by Charles M. Sennott, Globe Staff, 3/3/2002

The caption of the photo is "Prior to attending a religious camp in 1999, Ahmed Alnami would sing for friends"

Alnami played the oud, a traditional Arabic guitar, and had a good singing voice. He would gather with high school friends for bonfires in the wind-swept park atop Souda, the highest point in Saudi Arabia, and make them laugh mimicking the Saudi pop star Mohammed Abdou. He was fond of smoking apple tobacco in a ''nargilla,'' a traditional waterpipe. The music, the singing, the smoking all would have been frowned upon as un-Islamic by the men in his family"

"A resident of the Delray Racquet Club complex said she thought they [ahmed al-nami, and saeed al-ghamdi] were drug dealers because they were coming and going at all hours, carrying dark bags."

"Abdulaziz Al-omari, another one of Wail al-Shehris helpers on American flight 11, was also fond of the company of women. I liked him. One couldn't help liking him, for he was so easily approachable. He had the boyish charm of someone who could talk himself into any situation - and out of it just as quickly. Like al-Shehri he was talkative and expansive, but unlike al-Shehri he was amiable and easygoing, not so much engaging in conversation as putting on a show for the amusement (and admiration) of the young woman sharing his tab."

"One night Jarrah was sitting across from me with Ahmed al- Nami, one of his partners on the Pennsylvania flight. Al-Nami had a falafel platter in front of him and was clearly annoyed about something. He poked and stabbed at his food, wielding his fork like a weapon and spitting out invective in between mouthfuls. On and on he went, stabbing and chewing, stabbing and chewing. I watched and wondered - what the hell has gotten into the little prick? Whatever it was, Jarrah was not taking it seriously. He was not taking al-Nami serious."

according to the author of "faces of terror", ziad jarrah usually wore a baseball cap during his time in the northeast.

context: the author lived in massachusetts, and came across most of the men before september 11th.

on september 11th, satam al-suqami was the only hijacker not to use his travel documents to obtain a state-issued driver’s license or ID, since his visa was expired by that point. so, he was one of the two hijackers (nawaf al-hazmi being the second) who used his passport for check-in rather than an american-issued ID card.

ramzi bin al-shibh, born on the first of may in 1972 grew up in a poor family in sanaa, where his father died when he was 15, leading him to work as a clerk at the international bank of yemen.

during the 1994 civil war in yemen, he fought briefly for the government. shortly after, he applied for a us visa in 1995, which was denied likely due to economic migrant concerns, then he moved to hamburg germany in the late 1990s under various aliases including claiming asylum as a sudanese refugee.

there he roomed with mohamed atta, and became central to the hamburg cell. in my personal opinion, I think he was the glue who kept the cell together (through other untold details). however, his poor academic record/grades led to expulsion from german language school. while the other men were in the united states, ramzi wired money in-between them and AQ, along with passing messages and helping recruit while acting as intermediary, since he couldn't secure a visa himself. technically, he could've earned the label of being the intended 20th hijacker, or would've been in hani's spot for f77. regardless, he lived to see his operation play out on the evening (his time in pakistan) on september 11th.
