I took a stab at listing all the 9/11 threads on the Straight Dope some time ago, and since it’s on a lot of peoples’ minds (again) here’s another attempt. This is the current list I have, which despite its length is obviously missing quite a few threads. It does, however, include threads past the “search barrier” that makes it difficult to find threads from earlier than around 2002. Anyone who wants to pitch in and help is welcome to join the effort.
I’ve attempted to sort by a few categories, and by thread number (which should be chronological order of the OP of each thread) but a few errors shouldn’t be surprising given the number of threads involved.
Things to be done (if anyone is interested) are finding more of these threads for each years post 2001, and sorting some of them into a “Conspiracy Theory/Debunking” category.
