    Dam you! LOL I was just going to say that. I'd say though its a computer error. Flightaware does some strange things. I've seen where they idicate a flight has arrived while its still an hour away from its destination.

    They flew into a time wrap. once you enter, time stands still, everyone who sleep survives, everyone who was awake, is killed off. the only way to get out of the time wrap is to turn around and fly back through, but yo must be asleep again....


    Been reading "The Langoliers" lol

    I always thought it was a time WARP. A time wrap sounds like a specialty sandwich at the deli.

    Time wraps are made with old cheese and meat.

    The striaghtness of the line during the "detour" and the sharp angles when returning, it seems unrealistic, and is probably a computer error.

    Why were you looking up that particular flight anyway?
