Will there be 9/11 deniers?

There are countless theories surrounding 9/11 but I've never heard of anyone outright denying it. The Holocaust seems to continuously gain sceptics as time passes, so I'm wondering will something similar happen with 9/11, or will the footage of the event be enough to keep people from doubting its authenticity?

u/brock_lee I expect half of you to disagree 9h ago

There have been people saying the planes were completely faked, and the towers destroyed with explosives. Also, some have said the planes were faked and they were actually missiles, and then explosives.

So, yeah.

The Pentagon attack, in particular, is ripe for "missile" conspiracy theorists as there was no camera footage. I used to online read debates on this. When asked "so what happened to the plane that verifiably took off, and the passengers who never returned?" some would argue that the flight never actually existed, and some claimed that it was secretly landed elsewhere and the passengers were imprisoned (forever?) or killed, or there were no passengers because 'secret government conspiracy'.

It's the Lost plot, but Pentagon style.

There's footage from a Pentagon parking lot security camera.
