Claim: Birds and Airplanes cannot fly over Kaaba in Mecca.
Fact-check: There is a general ban on flights over Kaaba due to religious reasons; Kaaba is not at the centre of the earth - FACTLY
Verdict: birds and airplanes can fly over kaaba in mecca. there is a ban on flights over kaaba due to religious reasons and not any scientific reasons. the ban on flying over mecca is to not disturb the pilgrims and to respect the holy place. helicopters do hover around mecca to monitor the safety of pilgrims. kaaba is located near the centre of the grand mosque in mecca and is considered a sacred place on earth by muslims. earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid, and kaaba is just a point on the circumference of that earth. to claim that kaaba is at the centre of the earth is logically incorrect. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
