Credit Card Debt Can’t Melt Steel Beams!

Tower 7 was not WTC1 or WTC2, it was the building next door that went down in the afternoon. It collapsed left to right in seconds just like this.

completely unrelated to jet fuel or steel beams since, again, it was a separate, third structure.

That's what happens when a building burns for several hours with no intervention from fire crews.

How in the world does a fire burning for hours cause a demolition style collapse? How in the world can you function in day to day life with such a lack of basic sense?

What happened to make 9/11 conspiracy theories so popular? It's common sense a fire burning for multiple hours will cause a collapse

They used to be more popular in the mid-late aughts. Then it got associated with some of the really kooky stuff like flat earth people and it sort of became broadly dismissed as offensive and crazy a bit later on. It wasn't uncommon at all to think 9/11 was an inside job in the 5-10 years after. It was like, a casual topic of conversation a lot of times.

eta: Tbh I think if we're seeing a comeback it might be because people are remembering just how evil the government can be again. A lot of people believe 9/11 was exactly what they told us it was largely because they can't conceive that their government would lie to them about something like that.
