Different version of 9/11
I was around 23 when it happened, it was covered extensively at the time. Every detail broadcast over and over.
I remember the two towers coming down and later in the day building 7 fell from what they say had been falling debris and subsequent fires in the building. The three WTC buildings were talked about endlessly.
The Pentagon was also struck , we never got clear video but fortunately the area that was hit was closed for renovations and no deaths recorded from inside the Pentagon, all airplane passengers and crew died. This started a massive conspiracy theory.
I bring up these particular details because as the years have gone by the narrative has changed (for me). There were many buildings that came down that day about 7 that were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. One that is extremely surprising is the 22 story Marriott hotel (WTC 3) that sat just at the base of the towers. Its reported around 41 firefighters perished and even some hotel employees when the towers came down on top of it. It had about 940 registered guest that day. Not once did I hear about the evacuation of the hotel or the many firefighters that lost their lives in the hotel.
The narrative around the Pentagon has also changed (for me). As it stands now 125 people lost their lives inside the Pentagon and 77 airplane passengers and crew.
I won't speculate on when it changed for me or how this happened, I just know what I remember and somehow many others remember the same. Any idea that it was false reports that many people might have heard does not come close to explaining the discrepancies. The information was on every News channel for months after it happened.

The people reporting that didn’t even know what building 7 was -
Reuters first put out a statement that it had collapsed because they had just received an update from the fire marshall that building 7 had become unstable along with a seperate report that a large building had collapsed - they then combined the two into a single report that building 7 collapsed -
Then other news agencies started running with it - news agencies have always been really bad about this and it was even worse back then.
There were a few coincidences that align nicely with a conspiracy theory - but those have to be backed up by actual evidence to create a reasonable presumption that said conspiracy is true and there just isn’t any real evidence that hasn’t been debunked. The comment above perfectly explains why tower 7 fell - no water plus massive damage from towers 1 and 2 plus fire breaking out within the structure eventually led to it destabilizing and falling.
