FILE THIS UNDER "LAME EXCUSES"
An American Airlines pilot of 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.
Sounds scary, huh? Well it's even scarier after you hear the FBI say they "...believe it was a flare or a bottle rocket, but say they may never know if that's what it actually was." Excuse me? A bottle rocket? That must have been one hell of bottle rocket. Anyone that's ever had bottle rockets on July 4th knows that they hardly go as high as a jetliner. Do you get the feeling that they might know what it is, but they just don't want to tell us? Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

It is probably your condom packet, dofus.

When I was a kid, we used to make our own model rockets. We made them out of steel tubing and used a mixture of zinc powder and sulphur. Those guys could really fly. There are amateurs who can send amateur rockets 20-30 thousand feet. I think the government has clamped down on serious rocketry hobbyists these days.
