There are many conspiracy theories about what happened on 9/11, and about who was really responsible. Phrases like "Bush did 9/11" and "9/11 was an inside job" are fairly popular among those who believe in such conspiracies or find such theories to be humorous.
One of these theories is the "Controlled Demolition" theory. This theory claims that the impact of the crash into the towers wasn't enough to weaken the towers to the point of collapse, and that there must have been additional explosives in the buildings to weaken the structural integrity.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Popular Mechanics Magazine rejected these theories after examining them. Structural mechanics and engineering professionals did tests and proved these theories wrong, so there couldn't have really been any additional explosives, as believable as it may seem that it was part of an agenda.

Although we never talked about such theories in class, it is true that these are brought about from time to time till this day.
While Bush may not have had involvement to that degree it is true that the Bush family and Bin Laden had connections, thus causing people to raise eyebrows and suspect his involvement
Some people believe that Bush created 9/11 as an excuse to start the war in Afghanistan, however this is highly controversial and there isn't enough evidence to consider this theory, good article.
There are a lot of conspiracies about 9/11, but before this point, there were very few buildings engineered to withstand a 50-ton aircraft crashing into it at 200 miles an hour. Such conspiracies are often quite disrespectful to Americans and those killed in the attacks.
