US EditionCrazy 9/11 conspiracy theories should not be part of Senate hearing
- On April 29, 2025, 9/11 first responders visited Senator Ron Johnson’s office in Washington, D.C., to discuss issues related to the September 11 attacks and health funding.
- The visit followed Johnson's recent podcast claim suggesting World Trade Center Building 7 collapsed by controlled demolition, a theory experts have long debunked as false.
- First responders, including Andrew Ansbro, who was at the South Tower on 9/11, condemned the controlled demolition theory and emphasized that fires from debris caused Building 7’s collapse after sprinkler failure.
- Ansbro emphasized that the claims about a conspiracy are based on incorrect information and called on legislators to increase financial support for the healthcare initiative that provides treatment to 9/11 responders, warning of a funding shortage expected by 2027 that could impact medical services for those affected.
- The interaction highlighted tensions over 9/11 narratives, with Johnson planning possible hearings while responders focus on securing sustained health benefits through the program until at least 2040.
