The Magic Passport

Some days, I just sit amazed as I ponder the events of September 11th. Especially, as I think about Mohammed Atta, who piloted flight 7, the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center.

The fact that we knew he was involved in the attacks is nothing short of a miracle.

We have a passport to thank for that.

His passport was found on the sidewalk alongside the World Trade Center rubble.

That is absolutely amazing.

Somehow, a paper passport escaped an incinerated jet plane which burned so hot that it vaporized the flight recorder also known as the black box (a feat which prior to 911 had never been accomplished by any exploding plane). Then, the passport made it's journey all the way to the ground, eluded the burning ash as an settled itself, unblemished upon the sidewalk, where someone had the time, awareness and saw the need to pick it up, even in the midst of all of the chaos.

Absolutely astonishing!!!

Are you alluding unto the fact that the survival of his passport really was a miracle or that the passport is a fake that was planted for the purpose of adding more fuel unto the fires for war against Muslim extremists???
