Conspiracy theorists suggest that 9/11 was an inside government job. The government secretly landed those planes, took off all the passengers, and then hid the planes. Then they took remote-controlled planes and flew those planes into the towers. But days before, they had managed to sneak in explosives into the towers, without anyone seeing, and then performed a controlled detonation on the buildings after the remote-controlled planes hit the towers. And, even though thousands of people would've had to have been involved in the conspiracy to pull this off, they all kept quiet and didn't object. Given the track record of the federal government, that sounds like a plausible scenario to me.
A) inappropriate appeal to authority; claim is false or improbable on its face
B) false alternatives
C) questionable cause; mere correlation
D) slippery slope
E) no fallacy

The scenario described relies on a highly improbable series of events and assumptions that lack credible evidence. It suggests a complex conspiracy without realistic consideration of the logistical, ethical, and practical impossibilities involved, such as the secrecy and coordination required among thousands of people.
