iSm, for your debunking needs I'd start with a very detailed Popular Mechanics article from a few years back that took them on one by one. I'll find the link later if you can't but a quick search will probably turn it up.

GD, good to hear. If you are interested in the debunking in general, do check out the Bad Astronomy site if you haven't, as he's been doing it for years.

ETA: Remembered I still have it bookmarked. Here is the Popular Mechanics article. And if you want to read a pretty good rhetorical trashing of the supposed conspiracy that would have been behind a "the US government did it" then I recommend one of the chapters in The Great Derangement by Matt Taibbi.

Did you see the Nova episode "Why the towers fell?" I thought it was an excellent analysis from an engineering perspective.
