[QUOTE="FakeHuman, post: 2446116, member: 3619"] My thoughts on this from the beginning was that it was hijacked to be used as a weapon at a later date. Whether this was a dry run to see if they could get away with it or not I'm not sure. It would seem highly unlikely, however, that they could get it close enough to hit any major city without being shot down, not to mention that it would be pushing the range of that model to reach U.S. airspace without refueling. I believe the range of the standard model 777 is a little over 5000nm, and the extended range model at about 9000nm. I don't recall if this jet was a 777ER model or not. [/QUOTE]
