A lot of conspiracy theorists have their own thoughts about why the government building fell down, but the actual reason has come to light.

The 7 World Trade Centre building fell down just hours after the Twin Towers were struck on September 11, 2001, even though it wasn’t hit directly.
It’s been more than 23 years since the most terrible terrorist attack in history happened.
On that tragic day in September 2001, two of the most famous skyscrapers in New York City were attacked by a terrorist group.
Al-Qaeda hijacked four planes and crashed them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon in Virginia, and a field in Pennsylvania after they failed to hit the White House or the US Capitol.

Scary videos of the event have been shared all over social media, showing different views of one of the most tragic moments in recent history.
Because of this, 2,977 innocent lives were lost, and around 6,000 to 25,000 more people were hurt.
This led to the start of the ‘War on Terror,’ which has taken millions of lives over the years.
After the awful events, many conspiracy theorists started to speculate about the true reasons behind the attack and who was really responsible.
Some of their ideas might seem strange, but one big question was why the nearby 7 World Trade Center building fell down hours after the Twin Towers were struck.
That building housed important offices for government agencies like the CIA, the Department of Defense, and the Office of Emergency Management.

It suddenly fell down without being hit or attacked, and it seems like we might finally understand why.
A three-year study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that it collapsed because of really intense and uncontrolled fires that burned for nearly seven hours.
Many people think differently, but those fires were actually caused by debris from the North Tower, which was the one that got hit.
This whole event was one of the most shocking moments in history, and many people didn’t even realize a terrorist attack was happening after they missed the first plane hitting the twin towers.
However, a lot of people did manage to capture the second tower being struck on their cameras as they looked up in surprise.

Last year, Kei Sugimoto posted an incredible video of the attacks on YouTube that really shocked everyone. On that day, he was just trying to move his car to avoid getting a ticket from New York City’s street cleaners.
At 24 years old, Kei stepped outside but didn’t find the usual busy streets of New York. Instead, he saw hundreds of people gathered, all staring at Lower Manhattan in the distance.
He and the other onlookers were experiencing a terrible moment in the nation’s history, and he called it ‘unbelievable.’
