In August, 2007, The History Channel featured interviews with the editors of Popular Mechanics in a two-hour special debunking various conspiracy theories. Entitled 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction, the special presented interviews with several prominent members of the 9/11 Truth Movement who make various assertions and repeatedly referred to the Popular Mechanics book as a reference of attempts to debunk their theories.

Dr. David Ray Griffin has responded to Popular Mechanics criticisms in his book Debunking 9/11 Debunking (ISBN 1-566-56686-X).
