Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. According to some interpretations, various US currency can be folded in certain ways such that words and images related to the 9/11 attacks become visible. Which of these is said to be visible on the folded $50 bill?

Answer: The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center falling.

All the others are said to be visible on the US $20 bill.
2. Some supporters of conspiracy theory regarding the 9/11 incidents claim that the collapse of the World Trade Center was the result of a controlled demolition. Which of these explanations was NOT offered as "evidence" to support that claim?

Answer: In the weeks preceding 9/11, unfamiliar maintenance workers had been seen in many areas of the buildings at times that were not consistent with their usual routines.

While jet fuel alone may not burn hot enough to melt steel, it was only one of many fuels present. Materials inside the buildings, such as furnishings, papers, etc., supplied fuel for a sustained fire after the jet fuel had burned. Van Romero's statement was taken out of context; he had actually said that it "appeared that" explosive devices had caused the collapse of the towers. The puffs of dust and debris did not require an explosion; the rapid expulsion of air from the building as it collapsed would have the same effect.
3. David Ray Griffin is the author of a book that explores "Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11." What is the name of this book?

Answer: The New Pearl Harbor

Barrie Zwicker was the author of "Towers of Deception", while Eric D. Williams wrote 9/11 101. As far as I know, there is no book about 9/11 called The Jewish Conspiracy.
4. The 9/11 Commission was set up in 2002 to prepare a full account of the attacks. Critics complained of bias and conflict of interest within the commission. Which of these was cited as an example of a commission member's conflict of interest?

Answer: Slade Gorton and his law firm had close ties to Boeing and several major airlines, including Delta Air Lines.

On 12/12/2002, the Associated Press reported that Slade Gorton "had close ties to Boeing, which built all the planes destroyed on 9/11, and his law firm represented several major airlines, including Delta Air Lines." Gorton received a campaign contribution of $23,700 from Boeing for his 1996 Congressional campaign, making them his largest single contributor.
5. On the morning of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush was at an elementary school in Sarasota, Florida. According to his book, which of these behaviors of the president did David Ray Griffin consider very disturbing?

Answer: All of these

All of these were considered "disturbing" by Griffin, and also figured prominently in some conspriracy theories about 9/11.
6. What was David Ray Griffin's occupation at the time he published his well-known book questioning the role of the administration in the 9/11 attacks?

Answer: Theology teacher

David Ray Griffin had been a Professor of Philosophy and Religion at the Claremont School of Theology for over 30 years at the time his book "The New Pearl Harbor" was published.
7. What was the name of the 1962 plan that conspiracy theorists have pointed to as supporting the possibility of the US government carrying out hostile acts against US entities?

Answer: Operation Northwoods

From Wikipedia: "Operation Northwoods was a 1962 plan to generate U.S. public support for military action against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro as part of the U.S. government's Operation Mongoose anti-Castro initiative. The plan, which was not implemented, called for various false flag actions, including simulated or real state sponsored acts (such as hijacked planes) on U.S. and Cuban soil.

The plan was proposed by senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Louis Lemnitzer." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
8. Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding the Flight Recorders and Cockpit Voice Recorders (black boxes) from the Flight 11 and Flight 175 that crashed into the twin towers?

Answer: Some searchers claim to have found three of the four black boxes, though the official account states that none were found.

From Wikipedia: 'Two men who worked extensively in the wreckage of the World Trade Center say they helped federal agents find three of the four ""black boxes"" from the jetliners; this is cited to support the claim there was a government cover-up at Ground Zero. ""At one point I was assigned to take Federal Agents around the site to search for the black boxes from the planes. We were getting ready to go out. My ATV was parked at the top of the stairs at the Brooks Brothers entrance area. We loaded up about a million dollars worth of equipment and strapped it into the ATV& There were a total of four black boxes. We found three"" (Ground Zero, p. 108)' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories#Cockpit_flight_and_voice_recorders"
9. What is the name of the internet-based movement that has sprung up to continue to seek out the truth of the events of 9/11/2001?

Answer: 9/11 Truth Movement

The 9/11 Truth Movement, inspired by apparently unanswered questions following the events of 9/11, sprung up as a loosely-organized, internet based network of individuals and groups calling for closer scrutiny of the tragedy. There are a number of internet sites associated with this movement, one of the largest being 911Truth.org
10. How did the air traffic controllers at Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C., describe the aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon?

Answer: That it maneuvered like a military plane.

According to Danielle O'Brien, one of the air traffic controllers that day, "The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought . . . that was a military plane." The other descriptions were offered by various civilian witnesses.
