Controlled demolition conspiracy theories
According to a 2006 poll, 16 percent of American adults believed that the World Trade Center may have been destroyed by controlled demolition rather than resulting from the plane impacts.[67] This idea has been rejected by NIST, which concluded that there were no explosives or controlled demolition involved in the collapses of the WTC towers.[12] Controlled demolition is also dismissed in the engineering literature[58] and is pursued mainly as part of larger conspiracy theories about the events of 9/11.
