Where did the more than 1000 bodies of the victims of the terrorist attack, who were at that moment in the buildings of the World Trade Center in New York, disappear?

Remains turned to dust

At the time of the collapse, there were a total of more than 16 thousand people in both buildings. They were employees of offices and shops, as well as ordinary visitors. More than 3,000 people have died, according to a 2004 report by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks against the United States.

The remains of 1,634 people were subsequently discovered. From another 1116 people, only small fragments of bodies remained. Part of the office furniture, telephones, computers and other inanimate objects also "evaporated" with them. Rather, they turned into dust and debris.

According to one of those conducting search work at the scene of the tragedy, the largest piece of office furnishings found at the epicenter of the tragedy was a small piece of a telephone keypad.

In aircraft crashes or severe fires, only isolated fragments often remain from the bodies of the dead. But when buildings collapse, this usually does not happen. Bodies can deform, but they do not fall apart, and even more so they cannot disappear without a trace. However, this is exactly what happened to those unfortunate enough to find themselves inside the Twin Towers.

According to the conspiracy theorists, the fact is that the towers did not collapse - they exploded. By the way, the smallest fragments of human bones were found on the roof of the neighboring Deutsche Bank building in 2006. All this fits into the picture of an explosion, not a collapse. In an explosion, objects can indeed disintegrate into small particles.

The most interesting thing is that many family members of the victims also believe in this version. Thus, Robert McIlwain, the father of one of the 9/11 victims, is convinced that the "terrorist attack" was only a cover for an explosion organized by government agencies. And William Rodriguez, who managed to survive the tragedy, even calls the collapse of the Twin Towers "controlled demolition."

Conspiracy theorists point to other suspicious facts. Thus, part of the video footage showing the attack on the Pentagon was seized by FBI agents immediately after the attack. Also, no one saw the frames, which captured the airliner crashing into the building, or its wreckage, or the remains of passengers, or the remains of luggage.

Also, the official lists of Boeing passengers, among whom were supposed to be al-Qaeda terrorists (banned in Russia), video and audio recordings made on board the aircraft, were not made public. The notorious black boxes were taken by the same FBIs. Finally, some of the data was classified by US President George W. Bush.

The "controlled explosion" version

From time to time, more and more "evidence" appears, casting doubt on the official version of the 9/11 tragedy. For example, the organization "Engineers and Architects for Truth", which includes about 2 thousand specialists in the field of engineering and architecture, argue that the Seventh 47-storey tower of the World Trade Center, which collapsed after the Twin Towers due to a fire that began, could not do so it is easy to collapse as a result of a battering ram, since this was prevented by reinforced concrete structures.

“The destruction of Tower Seven looks like a controlled explosion,” said one member of the organization. "This technology requires weeks of preparation and can only be implemented according to a pre-planned scenario."

It is curious that at the time of the tragedy there were no people at all in the Seventh Tower. In a 2013 poll conducted in connection with the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attack by the sociological service YouGov, it turned out that 46% of Americans did not even suspect that not two, but three New York skyscrapers were destroyed on September 11, 2001.

At the same time, according to sociologists, 10% of respondents said they did not believe in the results of the official investigation of the tragedy, and 38% doubted that the government had made public the whole truth about those events.

They just burned out

Meanwhile, according to an official government report from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), the collapse of the WTC building was caused by the destruction of the fire protection of the main supporting structures of the towers. The fires were also promoted by the presence of "thermal substances" in the premises, which were part of the primer for the walls.

One way or another, the bodies of the victims, apparently, did not disappear anywhere, but simply disintegrated into separate fragments as a result of fires, which, in turn, were the result of damage inflicted by planes with terrorists on board. But conspiracy theories always have a place.
