What you say in #736 doesn't make any sense.
The animation sure doesn't show a flight descending to land in LA.
Do you have tunnel vision or tunnel mentality? Look at the graphic (immediately below the animation) which shows the entire terminal flight path. The animation shows a small segment of it as it passes to the left (south) when looking out to sea from Long Beach.
Hint: one doesn't solve problems this size by looking through a pinhole...
