You are of course correct, assuming that the conspiracy of which the fans speak was perfect. In such a case, any error like this would be impossible...

However, consider that all conspiracies (real or imagined) need to involve fallible humans, then you suddenly have the potential for errors to creep in.

In a universe where the attacks were scripted, it's plausible to suggest that while reading the "script" somebody screwed up. If you take that viewpoint for this event, it's also easy to see how leaps of logic enable other anomalies on the day to reinforce this belief.

I think that's how conspiracy theories get their fuel. Mainly though, I just liked the quote about the Lord Mayor's trousers...
