1. The hijackers were armed only with box cutters (and small knives) when they seized the planes.A HISTORY report notes that “the 19 terrorists smuggled box-cutters and knives through security” before boarding the flights.1 Critics point out that no firearm or bomb was used to overpower the crews, which some find hard to believe.

2. Very few bodies were recovered from the crashes, fueling claims that victims were “vaporized.”In the Flight 93 crash (Shanksville), only about 8% of the victims’ remains were recovered because the plane exploded on impact.2 Conspiracists argue this level of destruction is extreme even for a high-speed crash, implying an unusually thorough disintegration of the aircraft and passengers.

3. One hijacker’s identification (a passport) was reportedly found intact on the street amid the WTC rubble.FBI reports describe NYPD recovering Satam al Suqami’s Saudi passport from a passerby just after the North Tower fell.3 Skeptics say it seems improbable that a paper passport could survive a jet-fueled inferno and collapse without significant damage.

4. Bin Laden’s televised message taking credit for 9/11 is considered suspect by some.“Scholars for 9/11 Truth” and others note that the man in the video does not resemble Osama bin Laden—he is of different build, wears a forbidden gold ring, and writes with his right hand even though Bin Laden was left-handed.4 This has led to claims that the tape was staged with an impersonator rather than Bin Laden himself.

5. In the days after 9/11 dozens of Saudis—including roughly two dozen Bin Laden family members—were flown out of the country despite the no-fly ban.Official reports say nine charter flights ran from Sept. 14–24, 2001, carrying about 160 Saudis back home.5 Notably, one Sept. 20 flight departed during the general flight ban and carried 22 close Bin Laden relatives. Conspiracists cite this “special treatment” as suspicious, suggesting it helped privileged individuals avoid scrutiny.

Sources:These claims are commonly cited by 9/11 conspiracy theorists. The references above describe the factual bases of each claim as reported by credible outlets or investigations (e.g., the hijackers’ weapons and the evacuation flights). However, official investigations and experts have generally found explanations for each point—for example, the lack of firearms on planes, the difficulty of body recovery in high-speed crashes, and the FBI’s documented handling of passports and evacuation flights—that counter the conspiracist interpretations.135
