yepp.. plus the OP is probably some 50 year old creep who has a fake internet identity. creeper!

Those who committed the acts of terrorism had planned the attack on September 11th (9/11) to mock our country's (the US of A) emergency 911 calling.

I wonder if the police changed their extension for calling the police from [I don't know] to 000 in Australia because of the great mysterious incident that happened in the year 2000

It is 911 because long ago, we had phones where you turned a dial to dial a number, and 9 was the furthest to reach to make sure you weren't bullshitting the police, and the 1 1 are the quickest and fastest numbers to hit.

The way 911 was decided as the national emergency number is that back in 1967, there was no universal emergency number, you just called the police station, which was 7 numbers long, so the FCC met up with ATT and decided to make a short and sweet number, and they chose 911 because it was the only 3 digit number that was not an office code, area code, or service code, and it wasn't until 1999, only 93% of the USA had 911 service, and today even, not the entire country has this service.

@Seanya The way 911 was decided as the national emergency number is that back in 1967, there was no universal emergency...

One more interesting thing about the 9-1-1 number, when they first made the system, the first number actually was 9-11 (WAY before September 11th), but was changed to 9-1-1 because too many people wasted time searching for the 11 key on their phones.

I agree with you. There are a lot of coincidences in this world, but just because the emergency hot line in the U.S is 911 and 9/11 happened on 9/11 doesn't mean the terrorist did it just because of that. They probably don't even give a crap on what day it was on.

The number for the police was 911 long before 9/11 even happend.

They did it on purpose to show the police had no power or control at all over America. To people saying it was a concidence, out of all the days to terrorise our country why choose 9/11? Terroists aren't stupid; they planned it extremely well. Clever even.

do they really talk about that in U.S. History? "They picked the day 9/11 because thats the number we dial for emergencies" . I didn't even learn about anything past the 1900s until i was in 8th grade.

@Wow you managed to pass 7th grade?

You know what? unlike you, before jumping at the OP, and making a stupid claim, i try to look at it from that person's perspective. Can you just imagine not knowing a time period when only aviophobiacs were afraid of going on planes? Here is the K-12 syllabus for history. http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/...socscistnd.pdf ----20th century is not covered until 11th grade. Of course i knew who Hitler was and what he did before that but i never got into the details until it was taught it school.

Also its not the kids' fault that today's generation is dumb, its the parents'. (and also the fault of the gadgets and ipods and everything they have). They've substituted google for their brains.

And to answer your question, im a 3rd year in college studying biotechnology, but thats cool, im sure you're having fun flipping burgers or whatever.

Maybe "The Man" has a time macne and saw that terrorists were going to attack us on 9/11 thus they changed the emergency number to 911, that way everyone would be so busy trying to decide whether or not 911 really has anything to do with 9/11 that they would't notice the Government officials partying with Elvis on their secret moon base.

One year later Okay, this time it won't work out, let's wait another year" They were probably ready to do the attacks around this time and maybe they had a choice to do it on 9/10, 9/11, 9/14, and they picked 9/11 because it's 911, but didn't completely plan on having it on 9/11.
