VIDEO EVIDENCE: The Fall of 7 WTC
One of the most controversial aspects of 9/11 is the fall of 7 WTC. Why did it fall? It wasn't hit by a plane. Some videos suggest that the fires weren't even particularly intense. Conspiracy theorists call the collapse of 7 WTC as the "smoking gun" the proves a conspiracy. Skeptics point out that the building was badly damaged by the collapse of the Twin Tower particularly the North Tower. They also point to the fact that while most videos shot from the north (because no camera crews were able to get on the south side where the twin tower's rubble pile lay) show the building looking mostly intact, a few photos and videos from the north taken by firefighters show that the building was actually very badly damaged and a massive multi-floor fire engulfed it for most of the day. Here is one video taken of the building from the south.

Debunking 9/11: No Planes
One popular conspiracy theory is that there were no planes present on 9/11, that the damage to the buildings was caused by either missiles, interior bombs, or unmanned military drones. This theory surfaces in a number of different ways, from there was no plane only at the Pentagon to all four planes were a complete fabrication edited in by complicit major networks simultaneously by delaying live coverage a few seconds. Other variations add hologram aircraft being projected into the sky to fool the bystanders in the streets too. The basic idea is that there was something deceptive about the planes we supposedly saw hit the towers that morning.
The main problem with this theory is the sheer number of eye witnesses who saw the plane coming. Watch enough raw video and while you of course hear some people who claim "bomb" or say "explosion" (both of which have been used as "evidence" by conspiracy theorists) the vast majority of witnesses in these videos seem positively certain that it was an airplane. There are even some witnesses who claim to have clearly seen the logos of the respective planes as they came in to crash. So-called "Fog of War" explains why we often get conflicting reports and some differing opinions in chaotic scenes such as these. It is difficult for the mind to comprehend details other than what is safe and what is not when adrenaline overtakes the body's functions.

All known angles of South Tower impact. Are all these faked?
