If you think, in any context people would see a commercial airliner and refer to it as a "missile", then you dont live in the same reality I do.
So why'd the guy correct himself after saying missile? If it's correct there should be no issue. And if that's the term he's most comfortable with and used to using he most likely wouldn't have even thought to correct himself as he already believes himself to be correct.
And don't give me some dumb shit response like "he did it so idiots like you wouldn't get confused like you are now". There's no way he went through that entire thought process in the half a second it took him to correct himself.
"Oh I just said "missile", and while "missile" would be a correct term to use for this situation, some people might get confused. As such, I should correct myself to the more widely understood term that is "airplane". Nobody does this in half a second.
So it sounds to me like he knows what the narrative is supposed to be and fucked up big time and as a result, he corrected himself near-instantaneously.
A jetliner used as a missile. It's all a matter of purpose and functionality.
Look up Project Aphrodite for an example of airplanes used as missiles. Blew up the oldest Kennedy brother.
No-one refers to missile crashes.
