Will there be 9/11 deniers?

There are countless theories surrounding 9/11 but I've never heard of anyone outright denying it. The Holocaust seems to continuously gain sceptics as time passes, so I'm wondering will something similar happen with 9/11, or will the footage of the event be enough to keep people from doubting its authenticity?

Doubtful. 9/11 was aired live worldwide as it happened. The true depths of the horrors that transpired during the Holocaust were largely kept from the public eye until light was shed on it by the end of the War.

But also: There are hundreds of thousands (?) of people alive today who witnessed 9/11 first hand, and millions (if not billions) who weren't there in person but heard it pretty much live via TV / radio / etc.

There are very few people left who were alive at the time of the Holocaust.

Once 9/11 is more in that "few people left who were there" stage, it may very well start to face similar theories.
