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
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Especially about such a public and large scale event.
at a certain point "occam's razor" just defaults to "what can I say that's still respectable in most circles" and not "what does the evidence add up to"
