About

There is a great deal of disagreement about exactly what happened on 9/11. Some individuals and groups point to the large number of unexplained anomalies and suggest that the official story can't possibly be true, while others insist that those objections are nonsense.

Anyone who wishes to engage in discussion about these matters should take the position quiz and post their answers publicly.

It would probably also be a good idea to take the fact quiz to make sure you are familiar with some of what is not in dispute.

This page will (probably) be for analysis of the resulting discussions.

Query

Should this page be renamed 9-11/debate?
