==Controversial claims of film==
The documentary raises a number of questions listed below.
===Pentagon===
The film asserts that a jetliner is too large to fit into the hole made in the ]. The documentary claims that there should have been much more superficial damage to upper floors of the structure and damage should have been produced by the ]'s wings upon impact. Furthermore it poses questions as to where the debris went after the impact, including the the two large ] engines. Finally, the claim is made that an ] plane could not have penetrated the Pentagon as deeply as it did, producing a round hole, and proposes that the type of damage done to the building is best explained by a missile shot into it.

===World Trade Center===
* September 9, 2006 – Broadcast on Australian television station ].

The film points out what it believes to be anomalies in the crash into the ] buildings. References are made to what looks like an exterior swelling protruding from the undercarriage of ] which the film claims is reminiscent of a missile launcher, and a bright flash seen just before impact on both towers, which according to the film suggests that what crashed into the building was a twin engine U.S. military plane, rather than a commercial airliner. Additional references, based on eyewitness accounts, are also made to a number of explosions heard at lower levels of the buildings before they collapsed, which the film claims indicates that the structural collapse was a controlled demolition. Likewise, references are made to ], which hosted several government agencies, including a ] office, and allegedly came down as in a carefully planned ]. A statement from ], the owner of the building, is shown in which he says "I remember getting a call from the Fire Department commander, telling me they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'You know, we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is just pull it.'... Uh... And they made that decision to pull... and then we watched the building collapse." According to the film he was not referring to the pulling out of the firemen but the pulling "down" of WTC7. As this would have taken much longer to organize than the short time elapsed between the collapses of the twin towers and of WTC7, the film claims indicated the alledged demolition had been planned ahead.

911: In Plane Site: Director's Cut is a 2004 film which promotes 9/11 conspiracy theories. Photographs and video footage from the September 11 attacks are presented and claims that the public was not given all of the facts surrounding the terrorist attack. It was directed by William Lewis.

Claims

The films ask a series of leading questions about 9/11 conspiracy theories. Despite the film's assertions that "a jetliner is too large to fit into the hole made in The Pentagon," others have refuted this claim by showing that a hole of over 90 feet (27 m) in width was made on the first floor. Films such as In Plane Site and Loose Change only refer to the smaller hole on the second floor.

Reviews

A short review in The Portland Mercury says of In Plane Site, "it features both an exceedingly annoying crackpot theorist and outlandish, unsubstantiated allegations about blurrily pixelized photos that don't really show anything".

Another review at Heraldextra.com states, "Nor does the presentation explain, if the attack planes were military, what happened to the commercial planes. It hints that they might have been shot down over the ocean. The trouble is that they weren't necessarily over the ocean. And who remembers an Atlantic crash of an airliner where debris such as luggage did not wash up all up and down the Eastern seaboard? If airliners went down in the sea, the secret could not have been kept for long. It's fine to be entertained by this stuff, even if it is a bit morbid. But let's not lose our senses."

Television coverage

  • September 9, 2006 – Broadcast on Australian television station Channel Ten. Broadcast resulted in complaints from MP Michael Danby.
