I question how a plane that leaves Paris and intentionally crashes in L.A. or Vegas will have much jet fuel left to create similar distruction.

Those were Boston to LA non-stop flights on 9/11. A plane going from Paris to LA non-stop should have the same amount of fuel arriving on the East Coast in order to continue on to LA that a plane departing the East Coast would have to reach the same destination. The distance and therefore the amount of fuel on board is the same as it was on 9/11 if they attack an East Coast target from Paris.

Your point would be relevant if they were planning to strike a target on the East Coast. Allegedly, they were aiming for L.A. or Vegas, hence the reason for my comments.

Maybe if they were on a flight from Hawaii to D.C., and targeted California or Nevada, the same theory would apply.

I don't think flights from Paris to L.A. pass over the East Coast of the U.S. I think they take a polar route.
