For me, I've always wondered what's the point of the fourth plane. The conspirators either shot down a random plane or faked the crash (depending on who you talk to) for...what? It's already the largest terrorist attack in human history, how does this add anything needed to be able to invade Middle Eastern countries for oil/natural resources or whatever?

Also where did the missile that hit the Pentagon come from? A cruise missile would have to be fired from a military vase or navy ship....you mean no low level grunts are going to notice that or find firing a cruise missile on US soil odd?

But actually probably the most implausible part is that in the past 20+ years no one has had a guilty conscience and guilt-stricken confession from the hundreds if not thousands of people it would require to orchestrate that. Not even a deathbed confession? Surely at least some would've died of cancer or something since then. Or have a religious conversion experience and extreme guilt. Etc.

The most implausible aspect of the 9/11 conspiracies is that it would require the Bush administration to demonstrate some competence

The weirdest conspiracy theory is that the planes after being hijacked were taken to Huh? while the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were hit with a directed energy beam and the Twin Towers was made to look like airplane strikes via the use of a hologram.

Too crazy for anybody to believe? This three hour documentary is based on it
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11147566/

based on this book by Dr. Judy Wood
https://www.abebooks.com/9781932595475/Where-Towers-Evidence-Directed-Energy-1932595473/plp
and a breathless review of her book:
https://www.amazon.com/review/R27NWC9MTZL7BO/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ASIN=1932595473

Dr Judy Woods really was a professor of civil engineering, engineering mechanics and materials engineering. So, even having the proper credentials doesn't mean the person can't be an insane loon.

There can't be a crazier conspiracy theory than this, though certainly there can be conspiracy theories as crazy as this.

I once talked to an online conspiracy theorist who believed that the Twin Towers were destroyed by the government, which had utilized nukes in the basement of each building to destroy them.

There are literally dozens of problems with this ""theory"", to say the least.

Looking the record the CIA has during The Cold War, with all those toppled governments, this is the one part that does that add up.

But there's not really a good enough motive.

It's actually the "truther" conspiracy, not the "truth" conspiracy

Namely that the Twin Towers were rigged with demolition-style explosives to make them collapse (i.e., "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams!")

It would have taken nothing less than a small army of men working over several weeks to place explosives in two, 110-story buildings for a "controlled demolition."  Over 20 years later not a single one of them has spilled the beans?  or a peep from any of the thousands of eyewitnesses who would have had to see them entering or exiting the building while they did their work?

The idea that the Bush admin would want to go to ridiculous lengths for an excuse to invade Afghanistan of all places. Like, at least directly frame Saddam, Iran or somewhere they cared about controlling.

World Trade Center 7, funnily enough. The idea of some government goons being like "I'm just worried this isn't dramatic enough, Americans just won't be upset enough by two towers going down, we probably need to randomly knock down a tower that nobody knows to really push them into a frenzy" is very curious to me.

That our government could have competently pulled that off.

In general most actual conspiracies are a consequence of trying to cover up incompetence more than malevolent enterprises. If there was a conspiracy related to 9 11 it would probably be far more banal than the grand theories - it would be something along the lines of "if intelligent operatives had bothered following up on a lead or keeping an eye on their sources they would have prevented it all and higher ups kept that secret".

The theory that there were no planes used in the attacks.

Literally thousands of people witnessed this with their own eyes.

I thought the planes were holograms. Or maybe the towers were holograms all along? Wake up sheeple.

There are several dozen concurrent and mostly contradictory theories, ranging from the highly likely (more direct Saudi foreknowledge and/or involvement than the official report lets on) to the totally batsh[inks] (hologram planes).

I'm not a 911 Truther, I'm a 9/11 denier. It never happened. The WTC didn't exist. The whole thing was fabricated, probably by international banksters.

Truthers think the collapse of WTC 7 is suspicious because it housed several government tenants:  a clandestine CIA office, the New York branch of the U.S. Secret Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the NYC Office of Emergency Management.  In some theories, WTC 7 was the operational center for the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers (meaning that it also had to be collapsed in order to destroy the evidence, of course!)

     "Jet fuel can't melt steel beams" always irked me because it absolutely can weaken steel to the point that it can no longer support the weight of a tower. If it melted the steel outright they would have come down instantly, not an hour later.
