The Pentagon Strike 9-11 conspiracy theory suggests that the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001, was not carried out by a plane, but rather by a missile or other explosive device.

Why do some people believe in this conspiracy theory?

What evidence supports this conspiracy theory?

The damage at the Pentagon on 9-11 was caused by the impact of American Airlines Flight 77, a commercial airliner that was hijacked by terrorists and deliberately crashed into the building. The lack of visible debris and footage can be attributed to the angle and location of the crash, as well as the intense heat and fire that followed.

How do conspiracy theories like this one impact society?
