9/11 conspiracy theories are usually claims that the United States government attacked it's own country on 9/11, 2001. The "evidence" provided by the conspiracy theorists, also known as "9/11 truthers" is widely debunked. Some information is provided here.
World trade Center #7
Truthers claim that WTC #7 was brought down by controlled demolition on 9/11. To support this, they show photographs of the building from an angle that doesn't show the huge amount of smoke that poured out of the building due to fires inside. But many more photos exist that prove massive fires burned throughout the building.
Some quote an owner of WTC #7 as saying they demolished the building. They say that when he said in an interview that they decided to "pull" the building, he meant demolish. However, "pull" does not mean demolish, it means to pull-out.
Rosie O'Donnell recently said that she believes WTC #7 was brought down by the government.[1]
Black smoke
Black smoke was seen coming out of WTC #7 and other places on 9/11. "Truthers" say black smoke means that a fire is starved of oxygen, and therefore can easily be put out. This is not true, although it was in the past, because we now use petroleum in many products, which causes black smoke yet burns very hot. Also, grey smoke is sent out by the Vatican when a Pope is elected.
