It’s been a few hours since this accident hit the news reports, but Fox News notes this:
The Federal Aviation Administration said that the small aircraft was fixed wing, but earlier reports indicated that it may have been a small helicopter.
Hot Air has basically live-blogged the catastrophe; you can read how many reports have come in that have later proven to be erroneous. As I’ve pointed out before, there will always be confusing and conflicting details from people on the scene when something like this happens. But conspiracymongers make no allowance for initial confusion during an event ? in fact, they exploit that confusion to build a case after the fact for government (or whomever) “suppressing the truth.”
So in this instance, should it become a cause cel?bre in kookdom, the tinfoil hats would start churning out bug-eyed rants about “The FAA is LYING about 10/11! Eyewitnesses report seeing black helicopters hitting the buildings! We’re living in a wag-the-dog police state! It’s time to panic!”
