…the US knew about it but allowed it to happen…
I hear this, and in hindsight it makes sense to say, but put yourself back in the mindset of the late 90s. The US was a fucking giant. The world saw what happened after pearl harbor, I believe it was less of “allowing it to happen” and more of “we were so arrogant that we couldn’t believe anyone would be dumb enough to actually do it”.

Good, because if you actually watch footage and look at the impact zone, they didn't fall so well, "almost as if they were controlled demolished". It's something you can only believe if you refuse to actually spend more than 5 seconds looking into it.

I lived near a building that was built in the seventies and collapsed from fire. I was near when it happened. This was about a decade after 9/11 but it cured me of all lingering conspiracy thoughts in a second.
