What I would highlight is that this is a textbook example of how most people in the world actually form the reality in which they live. Specifically, they get it from those they accept as "authorities". Those authorities said a plane crashed, so a plane crashed.
From there, the evidence is made to fit the conclusion, like, "it's all underground because planes go really fast" or perhaps, "what, are you some kind of airplane crash expert now?" Reasoning can be tricky and take effort, but rationalization never ever fails.
By far the easiest way to deal with evidence that would tend to contradict their firm conclusion is simply to not think about it at all. They got no time for all that shit anyway. I suspect everyone reading this has heard that before.

Pretty much 1984 really.
