I found this from doing a search for “World Trade Center” in the title:

> [@World Trade Center Plane Crash](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/world-trade-center-plane-crash/80850):
>
> I’ve just heard about this from a friend, and I’m wondering if anyone has details - how bad it is, exactly what happened, anything? If it’s as bad as it’s been made out to me so far… my greatest sympathies go to the families of everyone involved.

The OP posted it at 9:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001.

I saw that was the second post, and figured it was the thread you were looking for.

On a related note, could someone kindly link to the original thread(s) debunking the Truther nonsense? I remember they were fairly large and comprehensive.
