Last year, Popular Mechanics put out a special issue dealing with the techical issues of 9/11, debunking the various conspiracy theories. There’s an interesting article from the Editor-in-Chief giving an update: [The Conspiracy Industry](http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/4199607.html). He gives an account of the flak they took from the conspiracy theorists, and also a well-rounded account of conspiracy theories generally.
Since “Did 9/11 really happen?” threads pop up from time-to-time in Great Debates, and are promptly slapped down, I thought people might find it interesting to read the article, but I don’t see a debate, so I stuck it here.
