Maybe its ‘cause I’m dumb, but I originally interpreted the caption as meaning that these papers investigated minor details *about* the thoroughness of the 9/11 commission’s report.  As in, the 9/11 commission mentioned this bell tower somewhere, and this report is debunking it.  The explanation on here should probably make clear what the intended meaning is.

It looks like this paper covers the earthquake and church bells (https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/2000JB900110), but the church bell mentioned is in Georgia and not South Carolina.  Close enough I guess?
