Conspiracy Theory

16zapzwya — 2014-09-18 15:35:33 UTC

People think that the government knew all about the

crash like when and where it was going to happen.

Terrorists

16lloysyd — 2014-09-18 15:49:29 UTC

There were 19 terrorists involved in the 9/11 terrorist attack.

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)

The NORAD was prepared to send out fighter jets to shoot down the terrorists planes.

The NORAD generals state that they learned about the hijackings early enough to get

fighter jets ready. They were told to stand down because of their lack of presence during

the attacks.

Bombs Made the Twin Towers Collapse

16lloysyd — 2014-09-18 16:00:27 UTC

Many people say that the towers were blown down by explosives placed in selected locations. Witnesses stated that they heard explosives inside the building while trying to escape. Also, many architects say that a plane's fuel can't produce enough heat to melt the building's steel frame to make it collapse.

Planes

16lloysyd — 2014-09-18 16:09:30 UTC

There were two separate planes that attacked

the twin towers, and one plane hit the Pentagon.

Pentagon

16lloysyd — 2014-09-18 16:12:30 UTC

Theorists say that the impact holes in the Pentagon were a lot smaller than an American Airlines plane would make. People also question why it wasn't shot down and the plane was impacted in a section of the Pentagon that was empty due to renovations.

Black Boxes

16lloysyd — 2014-09-18 16:17:24 UTC

Said that the black boxes from the hijacked planes were not recovered.

Black Boxes

16lloysyd — 2014-09-18 16:19:11 UTC

Black boxes are the most important items to find since they are the only evidence to show what happened inside the plane. Three of four black boxes were found but only one was good enough to hear. The tape was not released but was shared with the families in 2002.

Similarities

16lloysyd — 2014-09-19 02:34:28 UTC

both say that the twin towers and pentagon were the only buildings attacked.
both say that the same terrorist group was somewhat involved.
both say that there were planes that hit the twin towers.

Differences

16lloysyd — 2014-09-19 02:39:08 UTC

conspiracy theory states that the black boxes were found but only shown to the families, whereas the conventional theory states that no black boxes were found.
conspiracy theory says that the pentagon wasn't attacked by a hijacked plane but the conventional theory says it was.
conventional theory says that hijacked planes were what caused the twin towers to collapse, but the conspiracy theory says that bombs made them collapse instead of the planes.

Conventional vs. Conspiracy Theory Summary

16lloysyd — 2014-09-19 02:47:31 UTC

Both theories have facts that could prove that it either involved the government or it was just a terrorist attack. However, the conventional theory does have more evidence than the conspiracy theory, making more people believe it over the conspiracy theory.
