It isn't us who isn't thinking logically.
what he witnessed would have lasted only a couple of seconds; if that even. at the speed the plane was traveling.
What did i saw about memory being fallible? That when the mind has no way of understand what yoru eyes has seen, it starts immediately fill in the "gaps" with "fake" memory to help you understand what it is you saw?
But what are the chances of all of their memories having the exact same gap and filling it in with the exact same alternate reality? ESPECIALLY when the alternate reality is completely opposite what they all saw?
Shall I repeat my experience when a light pole hit my friends car, and how I got three things wrong about the guy who hit the light pole and sped off? The only thing I got right was the color and make of his car.
Its easily the most "memorable" thing in my life, as that is the only car accident I've been in (knock on wood), but in the quickness of the eVENT, I couldn't even get his description correct.

Irrelevant analogy. You and your friends remembered something different, The citgo witnesses all saw the same thing. Plus you all placed the accident in the same location. If you all saw it at one intersection when it was actually at a completely different intersection that would be a relevant analogy.
though others who WEREN"T at the citgo station had perfect views for any "fly over".
And we don't doubt that many saw it. They were simply told it was another plane. There were reports of one that "shadowed" the AA jet and veered off into the sky after the explosion.
They had a cover story.
