That is why the 1911 hijackers used multiple planes. Too hard to cover all that up.

And the first plane too. :-D
One night I flew into Boston and arrived around midnight. By the time I got to my hotel, and turned on the TV, the news was all over that a plane went down off of cape cod. TV crews were all over the beaches talking to witnesses. And all of the witnesses described a plane that was not to high, still climbing. And a streak of light coming from the ocean surface up to the plane, an explosion and half the plane falling followed by the other half. This was repeated several times by several TV stations and witnesses.
In the morning when I awoke, the story was different. They said that people did not see a streak of light. That that was just an illusion. And that the plane must have exploded. The witnesses were all gone. And every station had the same story. The plane fuel tanks exploded.
I never believed that this plane wasn’t shot down. It was too easy for a boat to sit out in the sound and fire a shoulder launched missile off a boat. Years later another story came out that the US military (navy or coast guard) was practicing with live rounds and shot it down by mistake.
I don’t know which is true. But I am sure that something shot this plane down and there were lots of people who saw it.
