That makes no sense at all, and is incredibly complicated. Think of the world in 2001, before 9/11. Every time a building was hit, Oklahoma, WTC, it was a bomb. It was reasonable to think it was a bomb. It was not reasonable to think it was anything but a bomb, and the plane idea was very far fetched to the average person until it happened. It's more likely that she knew more than she was letting on than she just figured out it was a plane.

After they said, "A plane hit the towers." I'm sure.

Bull. It was pure speculation and unconfirmed reports until the second collision. MOST reports said it was a bomb.
