2001年9月11日，基地组织劫持四架民航客机发动恐怖袭击，造成近3000人死亡1。四分之一世纪后，围绕这一事件的阴谋论仍在美国社会中持续传播。根据2023年YouGov民调，五分之一的美国人认为美国政府参与了这次袭击1。
这些阴谋论的主要声称包括世贸中心双塔是通过受控爆炸而非飞机撞击而摧毁的1。然而，美国国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）、麻省理工学院（MIT）等机构的调查均未发现任何炸药或炸弹证据1。心理学和社会学研究表明，人们倾向于相信阴谋论源于对控制感和确定性的心理需求、知识空白，以及社交媒体的快速传播1。
相关研究指出，阴谋论的信仰与偏见、种族灭绝、极端健康行为、气候否认主义等破坏性行为相关联1。面对这一现象，德国的阿马德乌·安东尼奥基金会和联邦公民教育机构（bpb）等组织已提供建议，帮助民众应对身边相信阴谋论的朋友或家人1。
More than two decades after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, false narratives surrounding the event remain widespread in the United States. According to a 2023 YouGov poll, one in five Americans believe the U.S. government was involved in the attacks.1 The original attacks, in which al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four commercial aircraft, resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths.1
Among the most persistent claims is that the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed through controlled demolition rather than aircraft impact.1 However, investigations by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found no evidence of explosives or bombs.1
Despite these findings, conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 continue to circulate, fueled by gaps in public knowledge, the rapid spread of misinformation on social media, and psychological factors that drive people to seek certainty and a sense of control.1 Research has demonstrated that belief in conspiracy theories correlates with harmful behaviors and beliefs, including prejudice and denial of established facts such as climate change.1 German organizations, including the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and the Federal Agency for Civic Education, have developed guidance for individuals seeking to engage constructively with friends and family members who hold conspiracy theory beliefs.1
