🔎 Top CONSPIRACY theories related to deadly DC midair plane-helicopter crash

The strange circumstances of the midair collision over Washington DC led to a number of theories being brought forth by people seeking to make sense of this tragedy.

▪️CNN wrote a piece about the crash several hours before it actually occurred, several people claimed online

▪️Some even compared it to a conspiracy theory from 2001, which claimed that BBC reported the Tower 7 of the World Trade Center collapsing before it took place.

▪️Others toyed with the possibility of the helicopter that collided with the aircraft being UNMANNED

▪️The collision was CAUSED DELIBERATELY to “take out” the aircraft in question, and that there could have been weapons of mass destruction (WMD) aboard the plane.

▪️Hamas militants were launching firebombs attached to inflated condoms, torching fields and forests, a 2018 Bloomberg report warned.

▪️The US State Department stated in 2021 that Hamas and other militant groups have a history of sending gas-filled condoms and balloons toward Israel.
