The World Trade Centres
Theorists believe that the planes used to fly into the north and south tower were remote controlled. This is based on the evidence of the footage and pictures taken of the planes crashing into the towers, it shows how precisely a commercial planes went into each of the towers. However this raised a few questions as the controllers would have to be experts and would have to get the equipment on the plane with out looking suspicious. There is also some doubt on the owner of the buildings Larry Silverstein; the theorists suggested that he might have been involved and played a part in the attacks by putting the explosives on the steel frames but this was disagreed with by many as he was in the building at the time of the attack. Although some suggest he was also involved in the plane hijackings some decided that he wasn’t, this would have meant him knowing nothing about the planes crashing into the building at the same time as the explosives going off, which would be mere coincidence. A few months before the government took out an insurance on the towers insuring it against terrorists attacks this means that somewhere someone got a lot of money when the towers were bought down. Also, when it was finished in 1973 it was designed to withstand fires and air attacks, this it did when in 1975 there was a fire that destroyed the 11th floor, in 1993 the north tower was attacked by a truck filled with explosives. This is what some theorists believed happened, there were internal explosives on the steel frame which helped the towers fall down in the accurate vertical drop that they did.
The Pentagon
Theorists question how the most protected building and defended air space with reinforced walls was hit by a commercial plane leaving only a small hole. There are some theories that suggest it had internal explosives like the towers, others suggests that it was a missile as there was not much debris from the plane. Also the hole that was left was not very big and it was too perfect. Some question, why wasn’t the Pentagon protected? If it is the most protected building in the USA, how did a big commercial plane smash into it, where was the air support? Eyewitness’s say they saw clearly the plane crash into the pentagon, however some wonder if they have vested interest and that they were either bribed or blackmailed by the government, although it might have been coincidental that they were there at that time. The circumstantial evidence would be weakened because although there was photos and video footage, these can be digitally changed to the governments needs. There are more questions like why were the witnesses so close to the building and what happened to the debris; did it all burn up or wasn’t it there in the first place? (This is suggests that the only pieces of debris left was set up and planted there on purpose.) On the other hand, experts say that the force and speed that the plane crashed into the Pentagon was enough to crush and destroy all the remaining debris.
The Pennsylvania Field
For Flight 93 we were told that the passengers overcame the power of the hijackers and bought down the plane in a field before they could reach their destination. Theorists believe that this is not true because of the evidence that shows how the debris had been scattered around the field. The evidence shows that debris was found at least 8m away from each other. This suggested to theorists that the plane did not crashed but was blown up by missiles. Also there were unconfirmed sightings of fighter jets in that area due to a military practice nearby, which some might point to an accidental hit and a cover up. However, it is more likely that this plane crashed on the same day with the other three because they were all joined and not a mere coincidence.

Historical evidence
In the past there have been several other conspiracy theories for different historical events, for example the Pearl Harbour.
December 7, 1941, the Japanese launch a surprise military strike on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbour. This resulted with America declaring war on the Empire of Japan, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. Some theorist’s question what really happened?
Documents
A government document found was discovered to contain information discussing an option to gain more money for the defence budget to get raises, new arms, and future capabilities. However, to get this, it said “Without some disaster or catastrophic event neither the politicians nor the military would have approved”. The 9/11 provided the necessary catalyst to put the global war plan into effect. Congress quickly allocated $40 billion to fund the ‘war on terrorism shortly after the disaster.
Conclusion
To conclude think that only some of the theories have a strong credibility as they have more evidence. For example, the fact that the whole of the emergency services were all so slow on that day shows that one of the most technology advanced countries in the world let four planes crash. Another strong point on the twin towers attack was that the building insurance was taken out just months before the attack; this may prove that the government knew it about it beforehand. The pentagon attacks show a few strong credibility point, for example the hole was too small and their was little wreckage. However, there are a few that weaken it, like how the pentagon has very thick walls so the plane could have just made a small hole as the walls were too tough to break all the way through. Many eyewitnesses saw the planes crash into all the buildings. Expertise is used to weaken their credibility as the engineers say that the crashes were enough to make the towers fall down in that way and also to make the little wreckage for the planes. They also have photographers and their photos which weakens it, although these can be digitally changed.
On the other hand some of the other theories don’t work and this can be very upsetting to the relatives of their loved ones who died. For example, the theory those suggests that all of the people on board flight 93 and 77 did not actually die but are off in another country with a different identity and with the aeroplanes dumped in the Atlantic ocean, the government can lay false trails. This has weakens all the theories as it could be that all the theorists are lying so that they make famous for their wacky and sometimes upsetting ideas.
Altogether I think that the government were somehow involved one way or another and went to great lengths to cover up what really happened. This is one of the biggest mistakes as now most people are suspicious and do not trust them. This is when theories are made.
