4. 9/11 The Third Tower

Aired: 7/6/2008

The 47-story tower collapsed seven hours after the Twin Towers and it has become the subject of heated speculation and a host of conspiracy theories which suggest it was brought down by a controlled demolition. Nearly seven years on, the final official report on the World Trade Center is due to be published in July. Official investigators are expected to conclude that fire caused the collapse of this third tower at the World Trade Center. But that makes this the first and only skyscraper in the world to collapse solely due to fire. The Conspiracy Files explores many unanswered questions to try to find out what really happened, and why some people think there was a sinister plot to destroy the building.

6. 7/7

Aired: 6/30/2009

Nearly four years after the 7/7 bombing, England's worst terrorist atrocity, The Conspiracy Files investigates the conspiracy theories flourishing on the internet. There have been three official reports into the bombings on 7th July, which claimed the lives of 52 people along with the four people identified as the bombers, and injured 784 others. The programme sees how conspiracy theories suggest four British Muslims were framed by the government, play on the fears of the Muslim community and spread a highly divisive and damaging message. The Conspiracy Files: 7/7 examines the evidence in an attempt to separate fact from fiction. (BBC)
