News, But Not Really
The Flight 914 story wasn’t the only questionable article that Weekly World News circulated. The University of Pennsylvania even pointed out how the tabloid published things that do not necessarily reflect reality despite being presented to readers as news. It mostly focused on weird and folklore-related topics to pique people’s interest.
One of the most popular characters that Weekly World News reported on was Bat Boy, a half-bat half-human creature that always happens to escape capture. That said, the story of Flight 914 and its visit to Caracas becomes all the more suspect.
