also there's no airport footage of the hijackers boarding the planes in the first place. years after 9-11, the BBC interviewed a couple of the hijackers after they supposedly drove a plane into the buildings. also for a vast majority of the 19 hijackers, there is no evidence that they left their country and most of the names the US government cited all have alibis.
all of the live calls of civilians on the planes panicking, the plane was going too fast and was too high for the phones to be of any use.
a vast majority (easily 95%) of the families who lost someone in 9-11 demand an open investigation and believe that there is something fishy about the whole event (some range from full conspiracy theorists to some who just think the government is hiding something)
during 9-11, the US airforce was told to stand down and continue practice drills instead of intercepting the planes, the first time ever in American history where any part of the US military was told to stand down in light of an attack on the nation. From what my grandfather who is a war veteran told me, it is normal military protocol that if there is a possibility to save more lives by murdering few then you are suppose to murder the few. in his opinion (and kind of mine) he thought that the US air force should've shot down the planes.
again, jet fuel can't melt steel beams. this one is very self-explanatory.
there's a lot more, these are just the ones i've remembered.
Okay so I'm going to debunk this in a specific order - first, jet fuel cannot melt steel beams, but it can definitely weaken their structural integrity. Kerosene burns at roughly 400-800C, whereas steel melts at 1500C.
However, at about 600C, steel loses about 50% of its structural integrity. Think of a burnt out building. The steel isn't melted, but it's bent and warped to the point where it doesn't keep the building up anymore. With the intensity of the flames on 9/11, the steel would have been at probably 10% strength. Essentially useless.
Besides, jet fuel wasn't the only thing burning inside the twin towers that day. Every combustible material inside was also burning.
..this brings me onto the collapse. With the frames of the buildings ruined, the floors collapsed. As one hit the next, it fell, and hit the next, and fell, and so on. This is called "pancaking" and is common is multi-storey building collapses. This is where, in pictures and videos, you can see dust and debris expelled through the windows.
I've never heard of this claim of the US government ignoring a hijacked plane. Even if it
was all a conspiracy theory, they're not dumb enough to do this. They would instead scramble jets and make it look like they didn't quite get there in time.

..they crashed. Into the WTC. Survive that if you will.
For the Pentagon - the hole isn't even too small for a crashing plane. A bunker busting missile, on the other hand, would have torn down half the Pentagon, not just one section of the outer wall. Their design is to penetrate the ground and explode seconds
after impact, so that they basically bury themselves before they explode. What this does is transfer
all the seismic energy from the explosion into the underside of the bunker, collapsing it. The difference to a normal bomb is that any normal bomb wastes much of the energy into simply empty air and doesn't really do much damage to the bunker. A bunker busting bomb is by no means a possibility here.
