France 24 debunks a 9/11 conspiracy theory
A former British lawmaker claims no plane crashed into the south tower of the Twin Towers, basing his claim on helicopter footage.
According to France 24, this claim is inaccurate. The plane that hit the south tower struck it on the side of the building that is not visible in the video in question, according to the fact-checking outlet.
The video comes from a helicopter and therefore only shows a limited portion of the Twin Towers structure during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
