*Various [[9/11 conspiracy theories]].  People who embrace these are called [[Truther]]s.  The theories generally state that the World Trade Center buildings were not brought down by airplane collisions, but (typically) by detonation of explosives planted earlier.<ref>They claim that Jewish workers had been telephoned in advance and told not to come to work (false), that airplane collisions would have caused the buildings to topple over rather than collapse directly downward (false, ignorant of high-school physics), or that the heat of burning aviation fuel would not raise the temperature sufficiently to melt the girders (false, the temperature to make iron visibly bend is much higher than the temperature to make it lose the strength needed to hold up a building).</ref>  Truthers often ascribe the motivation for this to some kind of nefarious scheme by the [[George W. Bush]] administration.  Among the websites promoting these theories are [[Infowars]] and [https://wearechange.org We Are Change].
