Pilot Reports 'Missile' Fired at American Airlines Flight 621 near LAX

(11/28/05) Pilot Reports 'Missile' Fired at Jetliner Near LAX

"Sources tell ABC News the pilot of American Airlines Flight 621 (or 612), 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."


11/28/05 - Before 5:30 am pst the pilot of AA Flight 621 (or 612) said he saw a missile pass by the cockpit at around 6600 ft (and over the ocean). He said he could still see the comtrail moving across the sky. The story was aired on a couple of radio stations (around 6am PST) but was taken off the air waves. There is barely any information regarding it on the internet. There is one actual news article and some internet chat room/blog articles regarding the incident.

FBI agents interviewed the pilots and believe it was a flare or a bottle rocket (at 6600 ft??), but say they may never know if that's what it actually was. The FBI has "closed the investigation" but C.T.P has reopened the case.

Here's a list of urls that have info regarding the possible missile attack on American Airlines flight 621 (or 612) on Nov 28th 2005. There are some posts that include people who have contacted different news stations and the FBI. Please feel free to add more urls that aren't included.

The al-Zarqawi myth

Many people in the Muslim world believe that Zarqawi is a phantom figure, who may have been killed long time ago. They believe that the Bush Administration wants to make the impression that he is alive so that the onslaught against Iraq and that part of the Middle East can continue.

The daily suicide bombings in Iraq are already confusing enough. Who are the insurgents exactly? Some have claimed that British intelligence have planted bombs in Basra and southern Iraq to start a sectarian war.

Interesting articles about Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Is he really the terrorist leader he's made out to be?
