From FAA Registration Database: UAL Flt. 175. (A/C: B767-222 Tail #N612UA B# 21873, Engine Type: PW JT9D-7R4D) This has been a major problem in the 911 equation. United Airlines 767s Used only Pratt & Whitney Engines. A General Electric Engine was found at G-Zero (CFM56 or CF6 series, see pic above). Stock 767's at seas-level, cannot attain the air speeds (verified by multiple radar and video analysis) of 560 MPH at Sea Level @ a relatively level pitch attitude. Boeing/Aueronautical Engineers says this wopuld IMPOSSIBLE, because of drag and air density. The engine found at WTC is NOT from the planes that WE were TOLD hit it! They used modified/military 767s. With these, come more powerful engines. Like the General Electric CF6-series. The already strengthend Cargo and AWACs military, or E-767 (there are alt. theories here, evidence shows the poss. of "modified 767 to KC767s", as well). Add other hi-priority mod's, to critical stress points, flight control surfaces, a painfully obvious asymmetric, aerodynamic cover! (for a high-tech R/C FTS, or Flight Terrmination System, antenna on one side of the belly?). Needed for last step of guidance from a remote control operator? Considering the catastrophic incidents of September 11 2001 , certain troubling but irrefutable conclusions must be drawn from the known facts, and I get no personal pleasure or satisfaction from reporting my assessment of these facts. ** Copyright 2012 (Used by Permission) No uploading.

Mecca is a city in Saudi Arabia, and the holiest meeting site in Islam, closely followed by Medina. The city is modern, cosmopolitan and while being closed to non-Muslims, is nonetheless ethnically diverse. Muslim tradition attributes the beginning of Mecca to Ismael's descendants. In the 7th century, the Islamic prophet Muhammad proclaimed Islam in the city which was by then an important trading center. After 966, Mecca was led by local sharifs until 1924 when the Ottoman Empire collapsed and it came under the rule of the Saudis, with the exception of the 19161925 period, when it was part of the Hashimite Kingdom of Hejaz. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure. The modern day city is the capital of Saudi Arabia's Makkah Province, in the historic Hejaz region. With a population of 1.7 million (2008), the city is located 73 km (45 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. ( source Wikipedia )

WORLDS MOST EXPENSIVE HOTEL - EMIRATES PALACE in ABU DHABI - LUXURY TRAVEL Inside TOUR The Emirates Palace is a seven star luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Emirates Palace is located on 1.3 km of private beach and surrounded by 85 hectares of gardens, with 114 domes that are 80 meters high. It is a 30 minute drive from Abu Dhabi airport and 1.5 hours drive from Dubai airport. The building was designed by architect, John Elliott RIBA, who was Senior Vice President at Wimberly, Allison, Tong and Goo, (WATG) an international firm specialising in Luxury Hotels. It opened in November 2005 but certain restaurants and spas did not open until 2006. The hotel was built by and is owned by the Abu Dhabi government, and is currently managed by the Kempinski Group. The costs to build the hotel were 3.9 billion GBP or 11.02 billion AED or about 6 billion USD. The Emirates Palace occupies 850,000m² of floor space. Underground parking allows housing for 2,500 vehicles. There are two swimming pools and spas. The hotel has its own marina and helipad. The Emirates Palace is the second most expensive hotel ever built, only surpassed by Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Room rates at Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace rose by more than a quarter last year as guest numbers topped 150,000. A 26 per cent rise in rates helped revenue per available room -- the standard measure used by hotels -- reach one of its highest levels since it opened in 2005, said the hotel manager Alexander Schneider. "Despite the opening of many other luxury hotels and resorts in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Palace has continued to achieve a very high performance over the past years," said Mr Schneider. The hotel, meanwhile, hopes to raise its international profile further -- as a backdrop for film productions. "Emirates Palace is the only venue in the region qualified to offer a unique backdrop for film shootings and to curate a movie premiere screening in its auditorium at the same time," Mr Schneider added. Abu Dhabi is expected to add as many as 6,000 new hotel rooms over the next three years according to CBRE Middle East, the property broker. "There is still a lot of supply to come up but that also makes it far more affordable than Dubai and travellers from within the UAE will remain one of its key markets," said Matthew Green, the head of research and consultancy at CBRE. The broker expects hotel occupancy in Abu Dhabi to rise from about 65 per cent in 2012 to about 70 per cent this year. Emirates Palace is currently focusing on Chinese, Indian and Latin American markets as Etihad Airways funnels more travellers from those countries through the emirate. India is Abu Dhabi's largest tourism market in terms of the number of guests. Emirates Palace has also become a popular wedding venue for families from India, Russia and China, said Mr Schneider. The capital's flagship hotel is owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, and is managed by the Geneva-based Kempinski Hotels. Abu Dhabi hotel operators are benefiting from rising visitor numbers to the country. In November, Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH) reported Dh842 million in operating revenues, an increase of Dh93m during the first nine months of the year compared with the same period in 2012.

The latest additions to ADNH's portfolio to come on stream this year -- Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas, Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach and Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal -- led the charge to top the hotel division's revenues to Dh562m, compared with Dh468m during the same period in 2012.

What is is like to live in Saudi Arabia as a non-local? Expats; Americans, British, jobs, employment, Australians and other citizens from Europe, Africa, Asia and other parts of the Middle East and world work and live in Saudi Arabia. In total nearly 3 million expats live in Saudi Arabia- almost all of them live on compounds like this one. Popular compounds in Riyadh are Arizona, Cordoba, Eid and others. There are also large compounds in Hail, Khobar, Jizan and Jeddah and elsewhere in Saudi Arabia. connect w/ me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/bruce.fenton http://www.mutualfundcenter.com http://www.atlanticfinancial.com http://www.fentonreport.com/2002/05/20/trends/keep-your-eye-on-the-money/24 http://www.fentonreport.com/2002/06/10/trends/filene%e2%80%99s-bargain-basement/25 http://www.fentonreport.com/2002/07/22/entrepreneurs/we-can-learn-a-lot-from-history/26

Saudi Arabia is one of the most misunderstood places in the world. Scenes include the National Museum, Sultan bin Salman who is the Minister of Tourism, a regular city street, the park and the Four Seasons Hotel. Photos of the economic cities are also included, these large projects include the creation of six economic cities.

Take a tour of Archaeological Site of Madain Saleh in Saudi Arabia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Mada'in Saleh is a pre-Islamic archaeological site, and the first UNESCO World Heritage site in Saudi Arabia. The site is a major part of the Nabataean kingdom, a civilization that existed around the 1st century. The area is a collection of monuments and tombs to people pertaining to various social classes. It is located at a great intersection of trade in Saudi Arabia, and thus many languages, writings and artistic styles are present at the site. Due in part to the arid environment and no resettlement, the ruins at Madain Saleh are incredibly well-kept and preserved. However, Madain Saleh has not become a great tourist destination because of the belief that it was cursed by Allah. The rock-cut entrances, tombs and engravings are impressive enough to one day overcome the site's reputation.

Ever wonder where our oil comes from? Here is a rarely seen view from Shaybah Oil Field in Saudi Arabia. Shaybah oilfield in Saudi Arabia is a major oil crude producing site south of the United Arab Emirates. This was taking during a tour of the Aramco site. The oil refinery produces 750,000 barrels of crude oil per day and also natural gas. The new facility costs $2 billion and was created in 1998 does a relatively new field -- Aramco city within shaver houses approximately 2000 people. The site is very high-security and very interesting great deal of ingenuity by American and British and Saudi contractors to create the city. His in his own known as the empty Quarter which is a desert area with no inhabitants for hundreds of miles. The word Shaybah means old man in Saudi Arabia and was named this because of the shape of the area. Sheila has extreme weather with extremely hot and actually cold temperatures regular dust storms. It was an incredible engineering marvel to create the city and supply the infrastructure needed to build the original roads and airfield and other infrastructure needed to complete the initial construction. The oil reserves of shape are estimated to be over 14 billion barrels of crude oil and approximately 25,000,000,000,000 ft.³ of natural gas the product the project was first started in 1998 and now is responsible for 750 million barrels of oil per day.

This is from the National Museum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The museum is an excellent and large new museum with exhibits covering ancient history through to modern times. This was filmed in Riyadh in January 2008. The Museum includes some of the oldest rocks in the world -- I believe 2 billion years old as well as dinosaur bones and other artifacts found in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh is the capitol city of Saudi Arabia and the center for government for the country. Contrary to most images of Saudi Arabia, this park is typical of the wholesome family atmosphere common in the country. It is very tranquil and relaxing. The National Museum is run with support from the Supreme Tourism Commission (STC) and HRH Price Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz. Prince Salman is an amazing person and was voted by a youth Arab counsel as their most respected and admired figure. He is young and charismatic and was the first Arab, first Muslim and first Saudi astronaut. Prince Sultan bin Salman is a patron of the arts and very interested in archeology and science. This quiet and simple video is about as basic as you can get: people enjoying time in a park with their families. It would be great if more people in the world saw more images like these of other cultures: especially those often misunderstood places like The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. connect w/ me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/bruce.fenton.page

What's the best car to drive across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? Why, A McLaren 12C of course. We cover more than 2000 kilometres looking for motoring nirvana. On paper, it didn't look that far. On a map, Saudi Arabia looks relatively mid-sized, nestled next to the enormous expanse of the African mainland. But now that I'm here, and I'm mentally calculating distances and driving times, I fear I may have underestimated things somewhat. We -- that's me, www.crankandpiston.com colleague Phil McGovern, a film crew and a few special guests -- are about to start a fairly epic drive across what, to many, is a very mysterious country. I've never been to Saudi before -- my one previous attempt to visit was stymied by the lengthy visa approval process -- so what I know is largely based on stories from other people and from the media. Not all of which is entirely complimentary. But on the other hand, there's something appealing about such a mysterious place, a place that's rarely high on people's must-visit list. Saudi is off-the beaten track, a relative enigma, a place I want to find out more about. Is it really the fun-free dustbowl as portrayed by so many?

"A Saudi woman was killed in a car crash in the capital on Thursday as she defied the kingdom's long-standing ban on female driving, local media reported. "The woman, in her 20s, lost control of her vehicle and crashed into the wall of a youth club in Riyadh, according to the website of the local Al-Jazeera daily.

Most people know Dubai for its massive skyscrapers and luxurious hotels, but few know that the city was built by modern-day slaves. -- For months, the BBC's Ben Anderson hung out around the glittering, insane towers springing up in Dubai trying to infiltrate the community of expatriate workers who are putting them up. What he found when he finally got in was that the jewel of the Arab world is almost entirely built upon imported slave labor.

"A rash of new laws issued in Saudi Arabia aim to blot out all political dissent — and in one case defines atheists as terrorists. The series of laws began in January of 2014. At the end of last month, Human Rights Watch issued a report explaining that "a series of related royal decrees create a legal framework that appears to criminalize virtually all dissident thought or expression as terrorism." According to the Times of India, some of the laws were issued to deal with the number of Saudis who traveled to Syria to partake in the civil war, and returned with new ideas of overthrowing the monarchy. In February King Abdullah issued Royal Decree 44, which criminalizes "participating in hostilities outside the kingdom."

We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either. The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people.
