[Eleven Bravo 6 319thID]

What I find interesting is that the perp apparently waited until the plane was nearly at it’s destination before doing anything to detonate the explosive. Perhaps he was not that enthusiastic about being a martyr and only got up the courage at the end of the flight.

OR....he wanted to explode the plane over Detroit, achieving maximum damage!

This was the scenario a few years back.....multiply planes were to explode once they were close to their destination in the US.

Thankfully the plot was found out.

I had heard that his goal was to detonate over the US. Most of the flight, except for the last few minutes was over Canadian airspace. I have been trying to find a track of the flight, seeing as I live in the metro Detroit area and sometimes flights track over my locale. I did find a track, I think, that looks like it entered US airspace just north of downtown Detroit, headed south along the river and Lake Erie, and then must have turned north over the Monroe area for it's final approach. Monroe does have a nuclear power plant, but I don't see how his could have been directed at that.

Uh no. The reason is to maximize casualties by adding casualties on the ground to those on the plane.
