Spike Lee’s new mini-series is a heartfelt love letter to the vibrancy and resilience of New York City. It’s also a reminder that conspiracy theories are not just a product of paranoia and hatred, but also of trust and community. - NBCNewsTHINK
who had seen early versions, Lee recut the finale, excising all the group’s conspiracy theory footage. That’s definitely for the best.But not all traces of conspiracy are gone. In the third episode, Lee asks former flight attendant Curtis Beatty about Flight 93, the fourth plane that was hijacked on 9/11. Passengers and crew members, after learning of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, tried to retake control of the plane.
That narrative is not controversial among experts and reporters. However, some conspiracy theorists have suggested that the U.S. military brought the plane down. Beatty embraces that debunked version of events, and so it seems, might Lee. “Do you think that the flight crew and the passengers crashed with the plane? Or was it shot down?” Lee asks. “I think it was shot down,” Beatty answers.
Lee, as usual, does not press him, and no one is brought on to dispute his claim. Anyone watching the documentary is going to come away with the impression that the conspiracy theory is at least believable. Which seems disrespectful, to say the least, to the people onboard the plane who sacrificed their lives to prevent mass murder.
