I have a clarification question. The author of the post thinks that there was a federal prisoner on the plane and the prisoner was sitting among a couple dozen young figure skaters? If the prisoner was being taken to Springfield, Missouri, why was he on a plane from Witchita, Kansas, that was about to land in DC? This is a very roundabout way to get from Witchita to Springfield. I think I’m missing a piece of information that would help me understand his post.

I think the potential prisoner would have been on the plane that crashed violently in Philadelphia, not the plan in DC that was landing. If the author is saying that the prisoner was sitting on the plane landing in DC, then that is really weird because prisoners aren’t normally transported on commercial flights.

I could be wrong here - and you’re right that this would be a very roundabout way to get to Springfield from Wichita. I mean, that’s about a 4 hour drive, from Wichita, KS, to Springfield, MO. Why even fly?

Most likely no direct flight from Wichita to Springfield. You need to connect through a hub city like Chicago, DC, Atlanta, etc.

Was referring to the other plane in Pennsylvania. Not the DC plane
