Major investigations and mainstream reporting reject the claim that “9/11 was an inside job,” concluding the attacks were carried out by al‑Qaeda operatives; government analyses such as NIST and debun...
The claim that "jet fuel melted steel beams" compresses complex engineering facts into a misleading phrase: ; weakened steel at high temperatures and fire-damaged connections are central to scientific...
The claim that the World Trade Center towers were brought down by a pre-planted “controlled demolition” is a central tenet of the 9/11 Truth movement but has been repeatedly examined and rejected by m...
The claims that the U.S. government directly orchestrated or knowingly permitted the 9/11 attacks rest on a mix of circumstantial anomalies, contested technical interpretations, and long-standing dist...
Standards that trigger criminal investigations of AI-flagged content for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) rest on a mix of legal definitions (including statutes that now cover AI‑generated imagery),...
Contemporary official investigations concluded that the fragments removed from President Kennedy were consistent with 6.5 mm (Mannlicher–Carcano) style ammunition and that forensic panels found eviden...
Official investigations and later forensic projects consistently link the bullets and fragments recovered from the limousine, the Parkland stretcher, and autopsy material to 6.5×52mm ammunition used i...
NIST’s final investigation concluded that fires — ignited by debris from the North Tower — heated floor beams and girders, led a critical internal column to fail, and triggered a fire‑induced progress...
The official, evidence-based conclusion is that the twin towers collapsed because hijacked airliners severely damaged structural components and ignited large multi-floor fires that weakened key elemen...
Conspiracy theories centered on the so-called "Dancing Israelis" — five Israeli nationals arrested on 9/11 after being seen filming the World Trade Center attacks — have persisted as a potent symbol u...
Conspiracy theories about 9/11 arise from a mix of psychological reactions to trauma, distrust of official institutions, and selective reading of technical evidence; experts and major investigations (...
Two decades of expert analysis and mainstream fact-checking converge on a single, evidence-based conclusion: the World Trade Center towers collapsed from , not controlled demolition, a finding repeate...
The variant of the 9/11 conspiracy theory argues that the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 were brought down deliberately with pre-planted explosives rather than by aircraft impact and fire, and i...
“match percentages” quoted in headlines are a shorthand for complex statistical tests—not a forensic certainty—and their real-world reliability depends on the metric used, the database size, image qua...
NIST concluded that WTC 7 collapsed because fires, fed by office contents and ignited by debris from the Twin Towers, caused a critical column to fail and a subsequent progressive, fire-induced collap...
concluded after a multi‑year technical investigation that fires ignited by debris from the nearby collapsing towers led to a progressive internal failure and the full collapse of at about 5:20 p.m. on...
The REPORT Act (signed into law May 7, 2024) broadened what electronic service providers (ESPs) must report to the NCMEC CyberTipline and materially lengthened how long providers must preserve the con...
Videos and engineering reports show the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 did not simply “hover” but collapsed rapidly because fire- and impact-damaged structural elements failed floor by floor, allow...
The 9/11 Truth movement is a long‑running, loosely organized “truther” movement that denies or disputes the mainstream account of the September 11, 2001 attacks and advances theories such as controlle...
