This incisive documentary analyzes the extreme, yet persistent, theories that cloud the memory of our national tragedy. Experts in engineering, intelligence and the military scrutinize 9/11 conspiracy theories. Based in large part on a breakthrough expose by Popular Mechanics. Produced by the authoritative NBC News Productions.

The tragedy of the attacks of 9/11 is ours to share; it is ours to remember; it is ours to understand. Yet, our memory and understanding were clouded almost from the first horrible moment Flight 11 struck the north tower. No-one could believe such a brazen and simple attack could be so tragically effective.

Disbelief quickly gave way to conspiracy theories and suspicions. These ideas from the fringe found a fertile breeding ground on the Internet and today many of them, through the power of almost infinite repetition, have nearly gained the status of truth.

The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction exhaustively examines some of the most persistent of these theories: that the World Trade Center was brought down by a controlled demolition; that a missile, not a commercial airliner, hit the Pentagon; and that members of the U.S. government orchestrated the attacks in hopes of creating a war in the Middle East.

Each conspiracy argument is countered by a variety of experts in the fields of engineering, intelligence and the military. The program also delves into the anatomy of such conspiracies and how they grow on the Internet. A must see if you regard Loose Change, Final Cut as a credible documentary.

  2. If this is the establishments attempt at debunking the science behind the 9/11 conspiracy theories they fall well short. I find the "experts" answers on most theories less convincing than the theories themselves. Apparently their main argument is that we must all be delusional. How is that a scientific explanation? As well it seems the collapsing of building 7 is conveniently forgotten.

  3. Thanks for stating before anything else, Alex Jones is one of the most vocal in the group. Way to discredit the movement before getting it to it. Also, if it is fact or fiction why does the cover say myths? Looks just like the popular mechanic book.

  4. If you don't believe that stupidity is widespread enough to elect a carnival barker to the US presidency, just read the angry comments here. Most will say they don't support Trump, but that is not the point. They are just as gullible. Let's look at the list of those in on the cover-up: Every individual of every agency and branch of the government involved in the investigation, NIST, every news outlet, every scientist and engineer and other related fields who has written peer reviewed studies or has peer reviewed studies done on the physics of the destruction. So who are these courageous experts? They have never read the NIST report. They will say they have but they have not. They will say the have read the report by the 9/11 Commission but they have not. They do research by googling 911 conspiracies. I am quite quite confident that most of them believe in multiple conspiracies, because it is not the facts of the Twin Towers attacks that attracts them, but they very idea that the world is not what it seems.

  5. Complete and utter BS. NIST and PM are part of the cover up. Fabricating testimony to support their narrative with no basis in fact, These people need to do hard time as do the devils who orchestrated it.

  6. These experts are all liars. It is the "truth movement"(family members of 9/11 victims- the ones who didn't sign non disclosure agreements) that raised funds for sick & dying 1st responders of 9/11. The government wouldnt even give insurance to responders for 10 years+. It is clear the gov doesnt care or they would have gotten medical care for the 1st responders. Watch yt video: "Lecture: Gelatin, The B-Thing"

  7. The worst documentary I've ever watched. It doesn't explain or prove anything, it's just personal attacks and "believe us" mumbo jumbo. 9/11 The New Pearl Harbour documentary shreds this garbage into pieces.

  10. Popular mechanic...came up in the 1st paragraph. Said it all. This is one stitched up story. PM have a story and they are sticking to it, thanks to their back pocket theres no reason to change it.

  11. Watch the interviews of people downtown(Youtube has all of them.)that witnessed the planes that hit the towers. They all said that the aircraft they witnessed were not commercial aircraft because they didn't have any passenger windows and were grey in color. Not silver. passenger planes have Windows,and don't give me any **** about the witnesses are remembering wrong, because they had just seen it,it was very fresh in their memories. The day that slime Bush was elected I was working in a kitchen. When we heard that he had won the election I said to my co-workers."Mark my words. We are going to war with Iraq." This was before he was even sworn in as Commander in Chief. Why do people think that something like this is so far fetched!? It isn't! It happened with Pearl harbor,and it happened in the gulf of Tonkin! blind sheep! Everyone! Did you know (and there is a file obtained by a freedom of information request if you don't believe me,look it up.)that the CIA had a plan to train a bunch of Cubans in the sixties to storm downtown Miami and blow up, shoot civilians with AK 47's and scare the whole country into supporting an invasion of Cuba? Did you know that? No I am guessing. Well they did and there is proof Google it,and then apply some vasoline to your necks and pull your heads out of your a****! That false flag attack in Miami thankfully never happened because Kennedy was a good man,and scraped it. Also there is a retired Army General that believes this was a false flag operation. Passenger jets don't crash into buildings or the ground and leave no evidence as to what they were! You can look that up too. Search Google images for jumbo jet crash sites and guess what you will see? You will see no matter how horrible the crash wings,fuselages,seats, all that sht. And Diana you can go **** yourself with a big rubber dick! It isn't our fault you are ignorant and can't think for yourself.

  12. I do not at all understand how anyone with a brain can believe these conspiracy theories. I have read everything i can on this. Our government may have done some things we dont like but if you believe they would kill 3000 citizens for some crazy reason you need to move out of the USA

  13. Way to go, Popular Mechanics. Make the conspiracy nuts look as stupid as Alex Jones' haircut.

  15. This is one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen, and one of the most biased, prolly because it's from the media, who are controlled by the people responsible for the 911 event in the first place.

  16. The 'expert' claims that us, the lame public think that because the pentagon hole was small and round, a jet wouldn't fit, and that us lame-o's expect a cartoon hole the shape of the jet, and that is just ridiculous. However the holes that the jets left in the towers were shaped liked the jets, so where is the ridiculousness there? Am I missing something? or is it the 'experts' that are missing something?

  17. LMFAO!!! At the end of episode 1, Michael Schirmer states that " Here's the claim, here's the answer, here's the claim, "here's the answer, by the end, they've got nothing to stand on, boom, end of story." Sooooo, what FACTS have you got that can substantiate your religion? Quick question - " WHERE did noah put the air conditioning unit to keep ALL Polar animals at the right temperature? No evidence, no proof, just a story that's been handed down from generation to generation with some bits added, some omitted, depending on which way they wanted to steer the OFFICIAL storyline to suit private and political agendas. Yet, YOU believe the bible... Far more evidence to substantiate claims of an Inside Job / Cover Up, yet you refute this... Well done. LMFAO!!!

  19. Someone cynically observed, "if 911 attack was government organized, implemented, and covertly controlled then the smartest guys are in power" !

  20. 9/11's explanation was PROVEN to be a totally fabricated and ridiculously obvious LIE, and the report that was offered to the people was full of lies and misinformation. Not one report otherwise has been given that isn't proven to be full of misinformation. All one has to do is look at the pentagon and the damage that is impossible to have been caused by a plane. The evidece is overwhelming. Now that proves nothing i know... but why did they lie about that? ANd that is only one of countless holes in the story that were explained with elaborate lies. WAKE UP!

  21. Conspiracy Theorists are some of the most ridiculous, insane and delusional people on the planet. Conspiracy theories aren't theories at all. A theory is something proven. A scientist comes up with a theory...and proceeds to prove it wrong. Then presents it to other people....to give them a shot at proving it wrong. If it stands up to hundreds of different tests...then it is accepted, Conspiracy theories on the other hand..are just questions. Investigate 9/11, demand answers. 9/11 was probably the most investigated incidents to ever happen. The research has been done and the facts are there. Taking an event like what happened that day, and twisting it to fit your paranoid, delusional agenda makes me sick. The fact of the matter is it REALLY happened, it killed REAL people, it tore apart REAL families. The fact that sick people like Alex Jones are capitalizing on turning the deaths of thousands of people into an industry of paranoia makes me want to puke.

  22. Seemingly biased documentary. You cannot talk about evidence and science without covering Architects and Engineers for 9/11.

  23. Are you guys who support a 9/11 conspiracy theory also members of the pro gun lobby.
    That would be consistent thinking.

    p.s I am not in USA thank goodness so I won't get shot by some clown carrying a bazooka he is not competent to use safely.

  24. I've read the past year of posts here and found you arguments to be logical, factual and thoughtful. I also found your patience with what can only be described as rabid dogs to be almost saint-like. Nice work and thank you.

  25. The proponents of conspiracy have more factual support than the dismissers.

    The dismissers basically say - it is hard to believe our own government could do such a thing to their own people. And, in case If the government did so, we are all kind of guilty for supporting such government. This is why it didn't happen that way.

    The proponents ask questions and compare events to known physical laws and historical facts. The logic is less and less popular hobby in US.

    The bottom line: if that was done by US government - we probably would never find out, because all possible evidence was quickly destroyed.

    If the muslim radicals did this all by themselves, they were lucky beyond any believe. If you call death a luck.
