I think for the most part, you got it right, except what report I heard originated from WTAW out of Bryan, TX.
I called the station about 9AM - some 3 hours after the report - & the guy said he had heard the same newsreport but didnt see any follow-up nor anything additional on the station's AP wire reports.
I do know it was a flight from LAX to the east - but I didnt pick up on the airlines - though I believe it was mentioned.
One would think that such a report would be also somewhere on the internet.
Arent there some internet sites that deal with airline news? I dunno.
I have repeatedly checked the internet - google, ABC, LA News, etc - but no luck.
thank you for your response...
something is fishy here.......
but I can't lay my mind on it.
