IIRC some people warned about the attack before it happened, but those warnings were ignored.
Comment on Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job

It was done by a group propped up by the CIA.

Immediately after the attack the US gov did nothing but watch Bin Laden go from a known position into unreachable hideout. Then immediately started an illegal attack that took years to get authorized.
-
Just after this, the US started a huge war, with plenty of indiscriminate civilian killing against one of the largest enemies of the people behind Al-Qaeda, and started exercises for a war against another one of their other top 3 enemies.

The US intelligence organizations got several warnings, didn’t act on any of them.
And I’m pretty sure there are more issues, I didn’t follow it closely. During all that time the media was laying about everything. So, if you have to believe something that is not the official information, I’d guess it’s not hard to go overbroad and decide the US gov took the building down by themselves.

That doesn't really narrow it down. Langley has its fingers in a lot of pies.
Hanlon's Razor means this is likely because the US government was stupid, rather than malicious

It was maliciousness, but a completely different kind of maliciousness than the people on the “9/11 was an inside job” train decided it was.
It made some people lots of money directly, and it got other people the goodwill of some rich bastards. None of what had any relation to 9/11.
