Philippine Airlines flies nonstop to the US from Manila. The flights leave around 10 am EST, arriving into LAX at dinnertime PST. Manila is a hotbed of Islamic terrorists and was (is?) a base for one of the previous WTC bombers. Makes perfect sense to launch a hijack from there.

No, it doesn't. The hijackers wanted a plane loaded with fuel, not one running on fumes coming in from Manila.
