A flight from Paris to LAX would over fly ALL of the US. If the terrorist took control of the flight on the east coast they could fly the plane anywhere in the US? So Los Angeles itself wouldnt necessarily be the target but the flight could divert quickly over its flight path??
What do you think??
I agree that is possible. Also I believe one flight was set to land in Cincinnati before proceeding to LAX, but that came from a tv reporter, and I cannot vouch it is totally correct.
Not if they were direct Paris-LA flights. They would fly a "great circle route" that would have them (and I'm SWAS'ing* here) fly over southern Greenland, Northern Canada, dropping south to enter the US somewhere in Montana and on down to LA.
