The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have spawned numerous conspiracy theories, with some suggesting that the US government had prior knowledge of the attacks or even orchestrated them as a pretext for war in the Middle East. These theories often focus on the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, which was not hit by a plane but still fell in a manner similar to a controlled demolition. However, multiple investigations and reports have concluded that the building's collapse was due to fire damage and structural failure, and there is no credible evidence to support the "inside job" theory.
