A bafflingly large number of people think that the 9/11 attacks were a hoax – and now one very strange man wants to prove it once and for all.

Not only that – but he wants to prove it by flying an actual plane, full of fuel, into an actual skyscraper.

As you would.

American expat Paul Salo hopes to raise $1.5 million via Indiegogo to stage what he calls, ‘Mythbusters for September 11th.


Salo says, ‘We will recreate 9-11 to the best of our ability given the funds raised. Our ultimate goal is a fully loaded 767 and a similar structure to the WTC.



‘We will crash the fully loaded (with fuel) plane (complete with black box) into the building using autopilot at 500 MPH.

‘You will be able to see for yourself what happens under these extreme circumstances. I’m not sure which country we will purchase the aircraft and building but it doesn’t really matter much.

‘I’m a globe trotter and will go where we need to go to complete this important project.’

Sadly, so far Salo has raised a paltry $500 of his $1.5 million goal.
