Fahrenheit 9/11 -- Illustrated Screenplay &
Screencap Gallery Michael Moore: In the days following September 11th all commercial and private airline traffic was grounded. Spokesman: The FAA has taken the action to close all of the airports in the United States. TV Man: Even grounding the president's father, former President Bush on a flight forced to land in Milwaukee. TV Man: Thousands of travelers were stranded, among them Ricky Martin due to appear at tonight's Latin Grammy Awards. Michael Moore: Not even Ricky Martin could fly. But really, who wanted to fly? No one, except the bin Ladens. Music: We gotta get out of this place if it's the last thing we ever do. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota) Senate Subcommittee on Aviation: We had some airplanes authorized at the highest levels of our government to fly to pick up Osama bin Laden's family members and others from Saudi Arabia and transport them out of this country. Michael Moore: It turns out that the White House approved planes to pick up the bin Ladens and numerous other Saudis. At least six private jets and nearly two dozen commercial planes carried the Saudis and the bin Ladens out of the U.S. after September 13th. In all, 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country. None of this made any sense. Can you imagine in the days after the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing President Clinton helped to arrange a trip out of the country for the VcVeigh family? What do you think would have happened to Clinton if that had been revealed?
Witchburners: Burn him! Burn him!
