A nice explanation of what scientific thinking is and isn't, as well as a reminder of the faults of eyewitness testimony, from Neil deGrasse Tyson, head of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
On a side note, Tyson lives a few blocks from the site of the World Trade Center, and wrote very memorably about his experience of September 11, 2001.
