On September 11, 2001, four American airlines were hijacked and converted into weapons of war. One of these planes was Flight 93, which departed from Newark International Airport in New Jersey, heading to San Francisco Internation Airport when at 9:28 am Ziad Jarrah, and three other Al-Qaeda terrorists stormed into the cockpit and took control of the airline with the intent of crashing it either into the White House or Capitol House. However, as the passengers of Flight 93 realized the reality of their situation, they collectively decided to take action and fight back against this new variation of terrorism. This effort, unfortunately, did not result in the survival of anyone on that plane that tragic day.

Twenty-one years have passed since the traumatic events of 9/11, but behind the pain and policy changes that came after the attacks on the U.S. The conspiratorial mindset blossom in an age where the internet enables an individual with conspiratorial inclinations to congregate and share their unique distrust of government and experts. In today's episode, we revisit the timeline of Flight 93 and the conspiracy theories associated with this specific incident. As well as learned about David Ray Griffin, a famous popular conspiracy theorist that has exchanged doubt about 9/11 for praise and popularity.
