At the Turning the Tide 2025 conference on September 11, 2025, British 9/11 family member Matt Campbell powerfully recounted the extraordinary story of his family’s fight to reopen the inquest into his brother Geoff’s death in the North Tower.
As Matt described in his talk, the coroner at Geoff’s first inquest in 2013 relied solely on a cursory report by the Metropolitan Police and totally neglected to examine the actual cause of the North Tower’s destruction — despite going on to officially conclude that it was caused by the airplane impact.
Since then, Matt has pursued every legal avenue available, showing remarkable perseverance in the face of immense obstacles. His family’s 2021 application to the UK attorney general presented thousands of pages of new evidence, which the attorney general summarily dismissed as “not credible.” After years of delays and refusals, Matt’s case now stands on the brink of being heard by the UK Supreme Court.
What shines through in Matt’s story is not only the glaring injustice his family has faced but also the tremendous courage it has taken to persist against a government determined to block the truth. His determination is an inspiration to all who continue to fight for truth and justice for the victims of 9/11.
