Just an explosion. What are we, a nation of ignorant children?

Apparently so, since we'll swallow any cockamamie conspiracy theory that comes along.

Popular Mechanics did a major article on the twin towers collapse, debunking every one of the "points" the conspiracy theorists make about the towers. PBS did a two hour special, complete with testimony from the scientists involved as well as animated models of exactly what took place, the sequence of events, etc., etc.

The Pentagon? There are pictures of the nose cone of the plane *inside* the Pentagon rings. (IOW, it made it all the way *through* the building. There are *multiple* eyewitness accounts of the plane, complete with identifications of it as an American Airlines or "American Airways" flight.

Against that you have the fevered imaginations of people who refuse to accept facts they can see with their own eyes and the testimony of literally hundreds of eyewitnesses.

Just trying to be objective, after all I work in security; it requires
an investigative and open mind.

Sure you are. That's why you believe in a massive government conspiracy that *no one* has been able to pierce, despite the fact that the government can't even keep secret prisons secret or hide massive eavesdropping programs from the public.

It's fascinating that the same people who buy the 9/11 conspiracies hook, line and sinker also believe the *exact* same government is totally incompetent.

But you're just trying to be objective, right?

You claim to be a security professional.  Use Google.
