The North and South towers were built in the 1960s with innovative steel and concrete designs that influenced many skyscrapers after their construction.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology carried out official investigations following the tragic incident that occurred at the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre.
The report from FEMA came out in 2002, following NIST’s 3-year investigation that was funded by the US government and was published in 2005
There are many conspiracy theories that revolve around the attack of 9/11. Some theorists claimed that the government was aware of the attack before it took place and was involved in the collapse of the towers.
Despite criticism and flaws in these studies, the commonly accepted explanation for the towers’ fall points to massive fires that raged within the buildings following the plane crash, rather than direct contact or explosives.

Let’s take a look at the 5 most craziest conspiracy theories that revolve around the Twin Towers Attack
Holographic Planes:
According to this idea, the planes that crashed into the World Trade Centre were holographic projections manufactured by modern technology. The idea dismisses the thousands of eyewitnesses who saw and heard the jets, as well as physical evidence such as plane wreckage and DNA from the victims.
Thermite Paint:
According to this theory, a specific sort of thermite, a metal-burning material, was painted on the steel beams of the World Trade Centre towers to weaken them and cause them to collapse. The notion lacks scientific support since thermite would not be able to spark or sustain a reaction under the towers’ circumstances.
Missile at the Pentagon:
According to this odd notion, the Pentagon was not hit by American Airlines Flight 77, but by a missile fired by the US government or another entity. The radar data, flight data recorder, security camera footage, eyewitness testimonies, and physical evidence of plane pieces and bodies at the Pentagon all contradict the theory.
No Plane at the Pentagon:

This argument even goes so far as to deny that any plane was engaged in the Pentagon attack. It says that the entire event was manufactured by the government, who used explosives, phoney witnesses, and media manipulation. The same evidence that disproves the missile idea easily refutes the theory.
Stand-Down Order:
Another ridiculous notion that is similar to the “inside job” theory is that the US government purposefully permitted the attacks to occur by giving a “stand-down order” to prevent the military from intercepting or shooting down the hijacked planes. The theory is based on a misunderstanding of the military regulations and procedures in place at the time, as well as a disdain for the turmoil and confusion caused by the strikes.
