Sample Response: Both accounts mention those who tried to take refuge in the Tower of David, but Fulcher claims all were killed, while al-Athir states they surrendered and were spared. The accounts both claim that all those in the Temple of Solomon were killed, but Fulcher says 10,000 were killed, while al-Athir claims 70,000 died. Fulcher's account is likely more reliable because he was a witness to the event, and his account was written just a few years after it happened, while al-Athir wrote his account more than one hundred years after the event.
