9/11: Unanswered Part Three - EP 167

<p>www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast</p><p>The first two episodes of this series told the story of the September 11th attacks. This episode turns to what&#39;s still argued about the World Trade Center collapse twenty-five years later, examining the physical evidence, the official NIST investigation, and the theories that have circulated since 2001.</p><p>Sean, Eric , and Jorge work through NIST&#39;s official findings on the collapse of the Twin Towers — how the aircraft impacts stripped away fireproofing, why the structural failure took the shape it did, and the engineering behind it. They also examine the specific claims that have defined 9/11 conspiracy theories for two decades: reports of molten metal found in the wreckage weeks after the collapse, the speed at which the towers came down, the free-fall acceleration debate, and whether NIST&#39;s own data holds up against them.</p><p>The episode then turns to World Trade Center Building 7 — a 47-story skyscraper that was never struck by an aircraft and collapsed that evening regardless. Building 7&#39;s collapse remains one of the most debated open questions connected to 9/11. The hosts cover NIST&#39;s official explanation, the competing University of Alaska Fairbanks engineering study that challenges it, and developer Larry Silverstein&#39;s &quot;pull it&quot; comment from a 2002 PBS interview, weighing what he has said the phrase meant against how it&#39;s been interpreted by skeptics since.</p><p>The episode closes on the financial side of that day — the World Trade Center lease Silverstein signed six weeks before the attacks, and the insurance settlement that followed, both frequently cited in 9/11 truth movement discussions.</p><p>New episodes of &quot;9/11: Unanswered,&quot; The Conspiracy Podcast&#39;s series marking the 25th anniversary of September 11th, release every Tuesday through September 28th.
