Isaiah Lee, Mrs. Romine and Mrs. Ross English 1 Hour 6 1 March 2024 9/11 Conspiracy Theories On September 11, 2001, four commercial airplanes were hijacked by Al-Qaeda and were driven into the Twin Towers.

In the article it says “These footprints were the piles of rubble and dust left after terrorists flew two airliners into the buildings on September 11, 2001 (9/11)” (Berman 299). This quote from the article tells the readers the author's personal opinion on 9/11 and how it was just a terrorist attack and I agree with this statement because its saying how the reasons the towers fell was because of the planes that got hijacked and flew into the towers.This supports my belief that 9/11 was just a terrorist attack and the reason the attack happened was because eleven terrorists hijacked 2 planes and flew them into the world trade

The 9/11 Truth movement is a social movement made up of individuals, and related organizations, who disbelieve the official investigation results of what happened during the September 11 attacks in 2001: that al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airplanes, crashing two of them into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the final one, unintentionally, in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
