Recently, I came across couple of flat-earth flyers. I have a whole series debunking every point raised in Nathan Thompson’s version.
This series is on FlatEarth101 version; this flyer has only three new points: the first one being “Eye Don’t think so”: which I have already covered.
The next one in list: Point six: Plane Flights; Hundreds of flights every day make fuel stops that make no sense on a globe… But, make perfect sense on a Flat Earth. Every flight goes to connection locations in the Northern ‘hemisphere’ first.
If you have seen some of my other videos: you would know flying is a big passion for me; and I get excited talking about it.
Let's go through the claim.
