Analogy: Parallel details in the B-29 Empire State Building crash (1945) and 9/11 do not mean 9/11 was copied — you need a causal connection

Real Historian Responds to "Jesus Was a Myth" Claims 00:22:21 – 00:23:26

Illustrating that parallel details alone prove nothing without demonstrating causal connection

Licona constructs an analogy: a B-29 crashed into the Empire State Building on July 28, 1945, between the 78th and 80th floors — the same floors as the South Tower on 9/11. Someone could claim 9/11 was just copying the earlier event, even adding symbolic interpretations. The point: parallel details are not proof of copying without establishing causal connection. Mythicists have not established such a connection.
