Definitive 9/11 Timeline

I know people are going to call me a "conspiracy theorist" for this, but the truth is out there!

September 11, 1857 - the Mountain Meadows Massacre!
September 11, 1857 is the day the Mountain Meadows Massacre transpired in southern Utah. Approximately 120 men, women, and children in a wagon train from Arkansas were murdered by a band of Mormons set on holy vengeance. The Native Americans who were also involved had been spurred by the Mormons, some of whom dressed as Indians to conceal their identity. John D. Lee pretended to come to the Arkansans' aid, and after having them lay down their weapons in truce, enabled a defenseless bloodbath to ensue.

September 11th, 1921 - Fatty Arbuckle ar
rested!
On a short vacation to San Francisco in September 1921, a small party took place in Roscoe's hotel suite. A young lady named Virginia Rappé fell ill, having sharp stomach pains. A doctor was called. Four days later she died of peritonitis.

Arbuckle was arrested on September 11th, and was held over for manslaughter on flimsy evidence. However, massive negative publicity was undertaken by the "yellow journalism" press -- repeatedly making lurid claims, in screaming headlines, that Arbuckle had sexually abused Rappé to death with (by various accounts) a coke bottle, a milk bottle, a champagne bottle, and/or a chunk of ice. These factually unsupported charges caused an incredibly hostile environmentfor holding a fair trial, despite overwhelming evidence pointing to Arbuckle's innocence.


September 11th, 1941 - Construction begins on Pentagon!
The Pentagon—a building, institution, and symbol—was conceived at the request of Brigadier General Brehon B. Sommervell, Chief of the Construction Division of the Office of the Quartermaster General, on a weekend in mid-July 1941. The purpose was to provide a temporary solution to the War Department’s critical shortage of space.The groundbreaking ceremony took place on September 11, 1941. The building was dedicated on January 15, 1943, nearly 16 months to the day after the groundbreaking.

September 11th, 1967 - Harry Connick Jr. born
Harry's parents were both lawyers (his father Harry became New Orleans District Attorney, his mother Anita, a judge, died of ovrian cancer when Harry Jr. was 13).
In 1973, Harry's father, Harry Connick Sr., beat Jim Garrison for the position of New Orleans Parish District Attorney. This was the same Jim Garrison who launched the investigation concerning the Kennedy assassination, and who is featured in Oliver Stone's 1993 film "JFK".

September 11th, 1973 - Salvador Allende overthrown in coup!
Allende's attempts to build a socialist society was opposed by business interests. Later, Henry Kissinger admitted that in September 1970, President Richard Nixon ordered him to organize a coup against Allende's government. Kissinger also said that he called off the operation a month later. The government documents, however, indicate that the Central Intelligence Agency continued to encourage a coup in Chile.

On 11th September, 1973, a military coup removed Allende's government from power. Salvador Allende died in the fighting in the presidential palace in Santiago. General Augusto Pinochet replaced Allende as president.
