The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that 'Several passengers impacted by severe turbulence' but does not provide any evidence to support this claim. Secondly, the author states that between seven to 22 people were taken off the United Airlines flight because of injuries but again does not provide any evidence to support this claim. Thirdly, the article is biased towards United Airlines as it only mentions their flights and ignores other airlines experiencing similar incidents.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told USA TODAY about the incident. This statement implies that the FAA's word is authoritative and should be taken as fact without question, which can lead to a lack of critical thinking and skepticism.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title and body of the article suggest that passengers were hospitalized due to turbulence or high winds on a flight from Tel Aviv to New York City. However, this is not entirely accurate as only seven passengers were taken to hospital for observation after experiencing minor injuries caused by wind shear during landing at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, NY.
The body of the article states that 'Stewart International Airport is 60 miles north of New York City'. This statement implies that the airport is close to Manhattan when it fact it's located about an hour and a half away.

The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'Like Six Flags' to describe the turbulence experienced by passengers on the flight, which is a reference to an amusement park known for its thrill rides. This comparison implies that flying can be dangerous and unpredictable, which may reinforce negative stereotypes about air travel. Additionally, there are no direct quotes from any religious leaders or experts in the article discussing wind shear as a potential cause of accidents on flights.

Fallacies

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the FAA reported high winds at Newark without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Secondly, there is a dichotomous depiction of passengers being seen by medical personnel for possible motion sickness and then continuing on their journey without further mention of any other symptoms or injuries. This creates an incomplete picture and could be misleading to readers. Lastly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing the accidental cooking fire as 'injuring' 5 passengers, even though they were not physically harmed but rather treated for minor burns.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains two examples of fallacies: Appeals to Authority and Inflammatory Rhetoric. The first example is when the Chief of Operations for New Windsor EMS says that emergency crews were waiting to check passengers out and take people to local hospitals after United Airlines Flight 85 landed safely at Stewart Airport. This statement implies that there was a direct connection between the flight landing safely and the need for emergency medical attention, which is not necessarily true. The second example is when it's stated that Austrian Airlines Flight 89 was diverted to Stewart Airport due to additional fuel needs, but no injuries were reported. This statement uses inflammatory rhetoric by implying that there was a direct connection between the need for additional fuel and the safety of passengers on board.
