Modern man as a species has difficulty in assimilating massively changing events in his world - so he tries to make sense of them, and hey presto - the 'conspiracy theory' is born.
Because some people simply cannot accept that what happened actually happened as it appears, they start to over-think things, and the media leap on this facet of human nature (it sells papers) and make up dark secret stories that have no basis in fact.
You can find this in any major world-changing event - moon landings / death of Elvis / death of Diana /911 - the list goes on and on.
There will be some item somewhere that the government caused 911 - it was an optical illusion, man did not land on the moon, Elvis and Diana are alive, and so on.
It's just human nature, exploited to sell papers.

I have relayed this before, so apologies if you have read it previously -
On one of our cruise holidays, we dined with an art dealer and his wife - the gentleman walked with a cane. He was a Navy Seal trainer in his younger days, so no-one's idea of a soft centre.
Our conversation turned to 911, and it turns out that they live in an apartment literally round the corner from the twin towers, and on the day in question, they had gone to vote in a building very nearby.
The gentleman advised that he was walking back when the planes hit, and he saw the bodies hitting the sidewalks in front of him. As he spoke, his voice faltered a little, and tears appeared in his eyes, and he excused himself from the table.
His wife told us that since that day, he had used a cane to walk with - the doctors told him that the psychosomatic shock of what he had witnessed had affected his ability to walk, although there was absolutely nothing physically wrong with him.
I will never forget meeting this man, and his recounting of what he saw on that awful day.

We were driving daughter back to Uni.......we always looked out for a special to us tree......it had one large branch growing out of the top which always amused us because it looked like the American Eagle...
Just as we spotted it we had a message asking us if we were listening to the news.....
The eagle became a sad memory for us on future journeys.....such an awful day..... x
