So sue me, I'm used to treating the Manhattan grid as east-west for orientation.But that whole spit of land is The Rockaways. Far Rockaway is east of JFK.

Anyway the entire idea is nonsense. The plane would have to fly north and west, not south, to be anywhere near the U.N. One could accomplish that much more easily on the approach, not the takeoff. The plane was in the air for two minutes, it didn't have time to do anything but crash, and you're insinuating that it was deliberately turning toward the U.N. That's ridiculous.

It took off on a heading of 230 degrees and would likely remain on that heading for the climb out then turn south and head out over the Atlantic for the trip down!

ABC showed the flight path. The plane should have flown E, and then SE from Kennedy airport and arched down to the Deminican Republic.
Why was the plane going SW? The UN is west!
The plane was off it's flight path.
