loyalwolvesfan Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 OK, I don't mean to offend anyone with this theory BUT...... I believe some of the 9/11 conspiracy theories. The day after we win the bid to stage the Olympics this happens. However, as some people say it's a bit on the small side for some of these 'terrorists' Is it possible that like the allegations of the Pentagon on 9/11 that this could be a bit of an "inside job"? And then we show the world how efficiently our emergency services etc deal with such situations? I'm not saying I believe this to be correct - but is it something worth considering?
