"Its new, unscheduled flight path puts it into a dead-on course for Washington, D.C. It will likely overfly at least one nuclear reactor and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis before reaching the beltway."

Is he using a different map from the rest of the world? Since flight 93 was approaching from the NW, and Annapolis is East of DC, I doubt they would have overflown it.

From the FAQ:

Objection: "Hey. Annapolis isn't on the way to D.C...."

This is just poor writing on my part, and I apologize. It's been pointed out to me that yes, the Naval Academy isn't on the way to the beltway. I'm mixing two issues here. The idea, or threat assessment, was that UAL 93 was on course for D.C., which it was at first; there was, according to the FlightExplorer data, a minor course correction shortly before the flight was lost from radar. I spent some time following the line the new course could have made, and one of the places it would overfly was Annapolis. I decided to put a note here, rather than rewrite the sentence. My apologies.
