Debunking Assignment

DUE WED 1/24 Debunking Assignment
Read the section from Debunking 9/11 Myths that you were assigned in class.

Flight 175's Windows.

Claim:
One eye witness says that the plane that crashed into the south tower did not look like a commercial plane, in which it had no windows. It looks as if it was a military cargo plane, which supports the most popular conspiracy theory.

Fact:
When later questioned more about the plane, the eye witness told officials that although he saw a plane flying over head. He did not actually see the plan strike the south tower, and only heard the explosion.

Analysis:
I think that although the eye witness saw a plane that looked like a military cargo plane without windows, he did only see it from the bottom of it and could have not seen the side on the plane, which might have had windows. I also think since he did not see the plane actually crash into the towers is another reason the claim seem false. Although they have a good point, I don’t think they can base any facts off of this evidence.
