Conspiracy Theory
On September 11, 2001 a catastrophic event occurred in New York. The twin towers were struck by two aircrafts and they collapsed in just minutes. This horrific event ended in about 3,000 people killed or severely injured. After this there was a lot of controversy about the event and many scientists and authors started putting out conspiracy theories about the event. Some of these conspiracy theories are completely irrelevant and some are believable, which caused me to go into deeper research about them. I have chosen two conspiracy theories that interests me through their analysis, and I was able to find research to see if they are real and how the author proves his theory. The two theory’s that I chose were the theory that

This means that the planes that crashed into the twin towers may have been a cover up and they weren’t really the reason why the buildings had collapsed in the first place. After finding this theory I figured I would need to do some research about this theory and find an article on it or some type of evidence that will help me decide whether or not this theory is real. After research I find this article (www.rense.com) called “Eyewitness Reports Persists Of Bombs At WTC Collapse”, which was written by Christopher Bollyn on December 1st, 2001. While I was reading this article I learned that the twin towers were designed to withstand a 150 year storm or an attack such as something like 9/11. With this being said, there could have been no way that just the jet fuel could have melted the steel beams, the jet fuel could have weakened them but it certainly wasn’t enough to melt them and cause the building to collapse the way that they did. Another fact that I found out was that people inside the building actually heard bombs going off from the 80th floor to the 74th floor, and in all the videos I have seen from the collapse you can clearly see bombs go off before the collapse has hit that point. The article seemed to have good evidence that could prove that the conspiracy theory could have been correct. After reading I thought that I would do

    Most believe that the towers could have survived the impact if it weren’t for the ten thousand gallons of jet fuel which made the crash worse. Since steel softens at 1000° F and the towers’ structure was mainly built of steel, the buildings no longer had anything to hold themselves up (Corona 87). It is also believed by most architects and engineers that it was the melting steel structure that initiated the collapse (Corona 91). In order to mend this issue, architects began to combine steel with concrete or other strong, sturdy material (Corona 87). They have learned what improvements are required when designing buildings in order to prevent a huge collapse from happening again.…

    They claim they have cameras around New York for backdrops, but that only explains the footage, not the information they had. The WTC did not stand very long because the fireproof coating was destroyed. The claim was the fire weakened the steel frames. In order to melt the frames the fire had to have been 1500* C, but reports say the fire could have only been 800* C. How is that possible? If a bird can slice through the wings of an airplane how did the plane slice through steel beams of a building?…

    Most of that jet fuel was consumed on impact. “In the south tower, most of the fuel was spilled outside the building. Heat caused by burning jet fuel does not reach temperatures needed to melt steel. What does stand out as particularly suspicious and still unexplained is that fires raged out of control beneath three of the collapsed towers for exactly one hundred days, clearly indicating the presence of some kind of substance utilized in the demolition of the structures. Why would there be any kid of substance that would wipe out three thousand lives?…

    “Building seven was a 47-story skyscraper and was part of the World Trade Center complex. Built in 1984 with a steel structure, it would have been the tallest high-rise in 33 states in the United States. It collapsed at 5:20 pm on September 11, 2001.
