10. JOHN ASHCROFT STOPPED FLYING COMMERCIALLY
Despite everyone in government playing stupid that they had no idea attacks were coming, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, was advised by the FBI to stop taking commercial flights as reported by CBS on July 26, 2001.
The FBI claimed this issue was the result of a threat assessment and "neither the FBI nor the Justice Department... would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it," CBS News reported.
11. THE PENTAGON VIDEO'S MISSING FRAME
Conspiracy theories surrounding 9-11 don't end at Ground Zero. The Pentagon attack has also provided endless fodder for speculation.
These theories couldn't be more instigated by the government's handling of surveillance video footage showing the moment of impact. Video analysts claim the government has cut frame 20 from the tape, which is rumored to show the object that struck the Pentagon.

The policy was valued at $3.5 billion, but Silverstein stated that two acts of terror had occurred, and therefore he was entitled to claim each building's collapse as a terrorist attack.
14. THE SHORTING OF AIRLINE STOCKS
On September 6, 2001, airline stocks, including United and American, suddenly had a put/call ratio 25 times higher than normal. Over the next few days, as the numbers kept climbing, Bloomberg reported a high on airline put options that was as much as 285 times their average.
This means that some unknown persons or a company made a bet that said "United and American Airlines are going to lose money very soon."
15. THE SPEED OF TOWER 7'S COLLAPSE
The internet is rife with homemade and professional videos that illustrate that WTC 7's collapse was at free fall speed. This means that there was zero friction on its way down...
