There’s a huge media blackout on the missile fired at American Airlines flight 621 out of LAX over the Thanksgiving holiday. Airline spokemen won’t deny the event but aren’t permitted to speak. Okay, fine. Where are the media in this?

Here’s the text of the only coverage - from Philadelphia:

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.

Smoketrail from a bottle rocket at 6000 feet? Someone is smoking something, but I don’t think bottle rockets are involved.
