The 9/11 Truth Movement
A movement of architects and engineers has spent two decades arguing the official explanation for a building's collapse doesn't add up — and federal investigators have spent just as long explaining, point by point, why it does.
The September 11, 2001 attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda hijackers, a conclusion supported by an extensive evidence trail and a bipartisan federal commission. Since then, a persistent movement has argued the World Trade Center buildings — particularly Building 7, which collapsed without being struck by a plane — were brought down by controlled demolition, a claim thoroughly investigated and rejected by federal engineers.

Quick facts
- →Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden publicly claimed responsibility for the attacks in a videotaped statement released in 2004.
- →World Trade Center Building 7, which was not struck by a plane, collapsed later that afternoon and is the movement's most frequently cited case.
- →NIST's six-year investigation into Building 7 concluded fire-induced structural failure, not explosives, caused the collapse — a conclusion accepted by the structural engineering research community.
- →A 2001 President's Daily Brief titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" was delivered to President Bush a month before the attacks — a real, later-declassified document, though it did not specify a date, target, or method.
