9/11 Conspiracies That Turned Out True | YESTERDAY

The Gist

Zero major 9/11 conspiracy theories turned out to be true, because official investigations by NIST and the 9/11 Commission established that commercial jet fuel weakened structural steel to cause the building collapses.

Quick Overview

Zero 9/11 conspiracy theories turned out to be true, and official investigations thoroughly disproved every claim about controlled demolitions and inside jobs. The documentary methodically breaks down common conspiracy theories regarding flight paths, financial anomalies, and building physics, matching them against the findings of the 9/11 Commission Report and NIST. While certain officials like Larry Silverstein received massive insurance payouts and the government withheld classified pages about Saudi contacts, no evidence links these facts to an inside job.

Key Points: Larry Silverstein took a 99 year lease on the World Trade Center on July 24, 2001, insuring the complex for 3.5 billion dollars. Two hijacked planes struck the Twin Towers on the morning of September 11, 2001, causing both towers to collapse in under 102 seconds. Conspiracy theorists frequently point to high volumes of put options placed on United Airlines and American Airlines shares right before the attacks, but financial investigations found no connection to Al-Qaeda. NIST conducted a multi year scientific analysis of the building collapses, reviewing 2366 steel samples and 7000 videos. The 9/11 Commission Report was published in December 2002 after a joint investigation by five Republicans and five Democrats. In August 2016, the Obama administration declassified 28 pages showing some hijackers had contacts with individuals connected to the Saudi government. Steel loses fifty percent of its strength at 600 degrees Celsius and ninety percent at 1000 degrees Celsius, and melts at 1500 degrees Celsius. A federal judge in New York rejected Saudi Arabia's attempt to dismiss a 20 year old lawsuit from victims families in August 2025.

Context: Following the September 11 attacks, numerous alternative theories emerged regarding the collapse of the World Trade Center towers and Building 7, questioning the official government narrative and pointing to various alleged inside actors including the CIA, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
