At the time of the attacks, media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed, as on any given day upwards of 100,000 people could be inside the towers. Estimates of the number of people in the Twin Towers when attacked on September 11, 2001 range between 14,000 and 19,000. NIST estimated that approximately 17,400 civilians were in the World Trade Center complex at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[8] Turnstile counts from the Port Authority indicate that the number of people typically in the Twin Towers by 8:45 a.m. was 14,154. source
One has to be so careful when words like suggested, might, could, estimates, approximately, indicate, typically and media are mentioned.
Imprecise terms or pure speculation, perhaps educated speculation, but speculation non the less aside from media, but of course the media has a record of amplifying or dumbing down anything to suit it's purpose.
But as to conspiracy theories, do you believe everything is cut and dried,authority says so, so you must believe, do you believe everything you are told, does your own sense not ask questions, do you not believe in the possibility of an alternative other than what you are told ?
For as long as questions remain unanswered in one's mind it pays to keep an open mind on the matter.
The WTC might be a conspiracy, then again it might not, all sorts of possibilities exist from making gold disappear to promoting hatred of new bogeymen, but who knows what the truth is, the sad thing is a lot of people died, but then those that instigated that care more for their personal goals rather than the lives of people.
