Today, as the world pauses to remember the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States, it is also important to remember the inexplicable things that happened – and didn’t happen – that tragic day. After all, 9/11 is responsible for diminishing hard-fought US civil rights, as well as triggering wars around the world. Without wandering into the deep grass of conspiracy theory, here are 11 well documented mysteries of 9/11 that warrant a real investigation into the two hours that changed the course of world history.

Example number one: Why were so many relatives of Osama bin Laden get a free pass out of Dodge after 9/11?
As clearly outlined in the 9/11 Commission Report, "After the airspace reopened, six chartered flights with 142 people, mostly Saudi Arabian nationals, departed from the United States between September 14 and 24. One flight, the so-called Bin Ladin flight, departed the United States on September 20 with 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Usama Bin Ladin." The glaring question is: Why did we allow the people who had the most to tell us about Osama bin Laden to acquire more frequent flier mileage? There remains the possibility that the terror mastermind communicated with at least one family member before the attacks.
