I have been very vocal over my 21 years of life about my feelings towards Helen Keller. She is a fraud, there's no other way around it. I've even written a blog about it before. Her life is the definition of fraudulent. If you believe that this woman wrote books or gave motivational speeches I seriously question your intelligence.
Yesterday an anonymous source brought it to my attention Helen Keller supposedly flew a plane. My initial reaction was thinking that this source got his impactful women of history confused, and he was thinking of Amelia Earhart. But then I did some research and found newspaper clippings archived by the American Foundation for the Blind (Potential Bias Here).
My second reaction was checking to see if Helen Keller was still kicking in 2001.
For obvious reasons. (She wasn't)
If you look at the details of this flight, it's hard not to question whether or not she "flew" a plane or just sat in it. The entire duration of her flight was over the water of the Mediterranean Sea which eliminates any sort of danger. Fly over a city or something. Take a risk. Absolute coward move.
Secondly, she only flew for twenty (20) minutes. What flight have you ever been on that was only 20 minutes? Completely unrealistic. She also didn't complete the take off or land the plane. All these Helen Keller fans need to relax and quit acting like their girl is a Top Gun pilot. She AT MOST sat in a cockpit while someone else flew a plane over an ocean.
She remains a fraud
PS - Sorry about the 9/11 joke. What was I supposed to do
