Pilot Reports 'Missile' Fired at Jetliner Near LAX (11/28/05)
FBI agents and Homeland Security officials spent the weekend investigating the report of a possible missile fired at an American Airlines plane taking off from Los Angeles International Airport. Sources tell ABC News the pilot of American Airlines Flight 621, en route to Chicago, radioed air traffic controllers after takeoff from LAX. He told them a missile had been fired at the aircraft and missed. The plane was over water when the pilot said he saw a smoke trail pass by the cockpit. FBI agents believe it was a flare or a bottle rocket, but say they may never know if that's what it actually was. http://www.kyw1060.com/news_archives...wsitemid=50753 |

Some model rockets can do that pretty easily. A typical bottle rocket, no way. |

He merely said he didn't have any 'little knowledge' because it's a dangerous thing. That, by implication, means he has the opposite of 'little knowledge', as in 'the bigger picture'. As an historical aside, the phrase a 'bigger knowledge' is used during Graduation Ceremonies in Georgia, USA. For the lucky few who manage to completely FINISH their grade nine curricula that is. David has a better command of the language than the Ass ever will. He also has manners far exceeding those of the unemployable dip in MI.. Prepositionally Challenged mike II |

But the FAA has box loads of them. I wonder what they do with all those things confiscated at airports? Ebay? They make so-called "quarter-mile" bottle rockets but I'm not sure how far they actually fly. Might have to try some out next summer. :-) |

That's why I think it was a model rocket, they look very much like a missle. The article said they only saw the smoke plume, and not the object itself. |

That never seems to stop some people though. I once launched a very small rocket (the Streak) with a VERY large engine. Never saw it again, outta sight man. |
