Or did something change? Or did you never believe it?

Let’s see if 25 years changes perspective!

The September 11 attacks,[c] colloquially known as 9/11,[d] were a coordinated series of suicide attacksperpetrated by the Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. A total of 19 terrorists hijacked four airliners, flying one into each of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a rural field in Pennsylvania during a passenger revolt

    No

      What about: the official story that the US government had no foreknowledge about 9/11, but there was an incredible string of coincidences and failures on that day which made an attack with very poorly trained hijackers possible?

      That’s the one that’s a no for me. A government can’t set this up and run it, but a rogue paramilitary group that thinks itself above the law and beyond reasonable scrutiny can.
