The shocking truth about Flight 447

The passenger list of Flight 447 contained the names of THREE survivors of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

#1 James Reidner. He was a Pentagon employee whose office was one of the ones obliterated when a section of the Pentagon was destroyed on Sept 11, 2001. While his job at the Pentagon, like the jobs of most the staff, was classified, there are rumors he was part of a liaison office whose job it was to select government technologies for declassification and sale to the private sector. It was his predecessor who sold much of the "Space Race" technology to private interests during the 1960's. His office had been moved to the doomed wing just a few weeks before the attacks.

#2 Richard Essen, a biotech researcher who'd been scheduled to meet with investors in Tower A. He'd canceled the meeting at the last moment due to what he claimed was a violent stomach bug. His career had encompassed several aspects of DNA research, including the use of retroviruses to modify the DNA of living organisms, and in finding genetic weaknesses in communicable diseases. He too was employed by the US Government, but this time period, lasting from 1977 to 1989, is also classified. His resume claimed experience in modifying the human immune system, but none of the declassified positions listed backed up this claim. It's likely that this was either a reference to his classified government work, or "resume padding."

#3, Owen Mason was an artist who had a studio on the 80th floor of Tower B. Few outside of New York City know that the port authority who owned the Twin Towers would let artists use otherwise empty office space. Owen Mason was a mixed media artist working on a series of "unity" sculptures that were to be displayed, ironically, at a UN conference on religious tolerance. His sponsor was none other than the Saudi Royal Family. The sculptures were destroyed and Mr Mason has never given an explanation as to why he did not make it to his studio on September 11.

None of these people are among the passengers known to have missed the flight, and all are presumed dead. The reasons these three people were on the flight have not been released, but one can't help but wonder at the astounding coincidence of three people who survived the September 11 terror attacks being not just on the same flight, but on the same DOOMED flight, particularly since airline crashes are so rare.

All three narrowly escaped certain death on the day of the attacks. Two of the three had known connections to the US Government, and the third had connections to a foreign government whose royal family were old time business partners with the then US President! Their escape on that day is suspicious, yet nothing more than circumstantial. The coincidence of their deaths is also suspicious, yet still just circumstantial. Why were these three men boarding that plane? Their seats, while not adjoining, were in close proximity, with no more than two rows separating any of them. Is it possible that they were part of a group, which was seated together? If they WERE part of a group, what was that group doing, and what had it been meeting for?

Some of these questions will never be answered. We can only hope more details emerge about this alleged coincidence.

UPDATE:

Essen and Reidner had close contact with Dr. Bruce Ivins, the researcher believed to have been responsible for using the anthrax spores as a weapon against US media and government outlets.
