Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back to Truth Be Told. Today, we're stepping into
one of the most defining and debated events of our lifetime,
the September eleventh attacks. It's been twenty four years since
that tragic morning, and even now, new legal battles, health crises,
and controversial questions continue to shape how we understand nine

(00:31):
to eleven. I want to be clear before we begin.
This episode explores both proven facts and disputed theories. Where
evidence exists, i'll name it. Where speculation takes over, I'll
flag that too. You know, the goal isn't to tell
you what to believe, but to give you the best

(00:52):
updates and perspectives so you can decide for yourself. In
July twenty twenty five, Federal Appeals Court throughout plea deals
for the men accused of orchestrating nine to eleven, including
colleague Sheik Muhammad. Families of victims had mixed reactions. Some
wanted the closure of a deal, others demanded a full

(01:15):
public trial. Meanwhile, in late August twenty twenty five, a
US judge allowed lawsuits against Saudi Arabia to move forward.
Families of victims argue that Saudi officials had closer ties
to the hijackers than previously admitted. Saudi Arabia still denies

(01:35):
any involvement, and the health follow continues. Nearly fifty thousand
cases of cancer have now been linked to toxic exposure
at Ground Zero. First responders and survivors are still fighting
for guaranteed funding in the World Trade Center Health program.
Some cancers are only now emerging nearly a quarter century later.

(02:00):
Even declassified FBI documents have fueled debate. They detail connections
between a Saudi national named Omar al Bayumi and two
hijackers in California. Whether he was an agent of the
Saudi government or just a friendly face remains contested. These
are not just history lessons, they're live issues, still shaping lives.

(02:25):
Let's talk about the theories. One of the biggest focuses
is World Trade Center building at the seven, which collapsed
hours after the towers fell. Many claim it was a
controlled demolition. The official investigation by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, or NIST, concluded the collapse was caused

(02:52):
by fire, specifically uncontrolled fires that weakened a critical support column.
Explosives were found, no blast signatures recorded. Then there's the
claim that the twin towers couldn't have collapsed without explosives. Again,
Nes determined that the plane impacts stripped off fireproofing fires

(03:16):
we can steal, and sagging floors pulled the outer walls
inward until failure cascaded floor by floor. Engineers across the
world have reviewed and supported those findings and the Pentagon.
Some still claim a missile hit not American Airlines Flight
seventy seven, But every credible investigation found aircraft debris, flight recorders,

(03:44):
DNA evidence, and eyewitnesses confirming the plane strike. The missile
theory doesn't match the physical evidence. Now, skepticism is natural,
but skepticism works best when tested against evidence, Otherwise it
becomes speculation without grounding. That's where many conspiracy claims fall short.

(04:08):
But let's be honest, some issues remain unsettled. First, the trials.
After two decades, we still haven't seen a proper trial
for the accused nine to eleven plotters. Torture and classified
evidence complicate the process. That delay leaves families without closure. Second,

(04:30):
Saudi Arabia. With lawsuits moving forward, we may finally learn
more about whether Saudi officials knowingly supported hijackers on US
soil Third health, the battle for long term funding continues.
Many responders are aging with cancers appearing decades later. Congress

(04:51):
faces pressure to make funding permanent. Fourth, the broader lessons
building codes and fire engineering change after nine to eleven.
Nists recommendations helped engineers prepare for fire induced collapses in
ways they never considered before. So while conspiracy theories can distract,

(05:19):
real unanswered questions about justice, accountability, and care remain when
we talk about nine to eleven. It's easy to get
lost in buildings, lawsuits, and theories, but at its core,
this was about people. First responders who ran toward danger,

(05:41):
survivors who still live with illness, families who continue to
fight for justice in court. One responder recently shared a
memory not of the collapse, but of strangers helping, strangers,
offering water, guiding each other out, carrying the injured. Those

(06:02):
stories often get overshadowed by politics and controversy. For those
who live through at nine to eleven isn't history, It's
a daily reality, whether through lawsuits, medical bills, are grief.
Remembering that human side is just as important as debating
what happened. So what comes next We'll be watching whether

(06:24):
the Guantanamo case ever reaches a courtroom, or if more
deals fall apart. We'll be watching the Saudi lawsuits, what
discovery reveals, what evidence emerges, and whether a jury ever
hears the case. We'll be watching Congress as it debates

(06:45):
health funding, will the WTC health program finally get permanent stability,
And will be watching whether new documents continue to be declassified,
shedding more light or spark in more questions. Twenty four
years later, nine to eleven still shapes our politics, our security,

(07:08):
our health, and our trust. Some controversies are settled by evidence.
Others remain in the courts or in the hearts of families.
