September 11 Attacks and Ongoing Conspiracy Theories
After 25 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks, which remain among the most severe terrorist assaults in history, conspiracy theories about them continue to spread. These include claims that the U.S. government was behind the attacks or that the buildings were destroyed in controlled demolitions, despite a lack of conclusive evidence. Surveys show that 20% of Americans believe the government was involved, and cognitive biases along with psychological trauma contribute to some individuals' tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. Misinformation spreads through social media, exploiting people's fears, and these theories pose social and security risks—especially when certain groups are blamed or anti-Semitic myths are propagated. Experts recommend increasing trust in science and facts, clearly addressing racism, and countering these misleading narratives to reduce their impact.
