I don’t know that much about the flight paths. Some help please.

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 wouldn’t 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.

HMM. I saw someone post that there was a 5:1 chance of a problem in Ohio found in a bible code. I was going to post back and ask about God giving odds but the AM was too fast :')

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.

Scientific Wild Ass Guess
