Everyone was thinking "it was a controlled demolition" or talking about Lazer beams, trying to explain that the plane was edited in, maybe the towers never even existed and were invented by the media. But in reality it was a lot simpler, the Saudis sent people to fly planes into towers. Was the "jet fuel can't melt steel beams", like, purposeful misdirection or were conspiracy theorists just too imaginative for their own good
No small part was the proliferation of the underground movie "Loose Change" which collated a bunch of the conspiracies around the event and really solidified in the lib unconcious that something weird went down that day. Weird fuckin movie, wonder what those guys are at now
There was a strange syncretism of anti-Bush politics at the time, too, that helped that movie spread. Like, you'd have Alex Jones types side-by-side with what we'd now call MSNBC libs, united by the common enemy of Bush and the Iraq war.
