So I did a quick math and in the first 30min Virgil travelled around 400miles if he was going at mach 1. If the plane that is about to crash is 10 min always, and traveling at top sped of 700mph it will have to travel 120 miles. Virgil top speed was Mach 3. Therefore he has to travel 520miles in 10min. Mach 3 in mpm is 38mpm. So he won’t make it unless he goes faster than Mach 3. Hope this his accurate enough.
I think he was pulling a fast one on everyone and getting the author to confirm he’s gonna make it on time.
KingSeyer:Your math is correct but not entirely accurate. Flight 93 just took off from Newark International Airport which is 12.6miles(20.278km) from New York City. Mach 3 travelling speed is 3704km/h so Virgil has enough time to reach there.
Tbh I preferred it when there was doubt as to the MC being behind the plot. The ridiculousness of the terrorist speech, the fact monitor guy decided to take a nap in THAT moment… it seemed to fit in with the MC playing behind the scenes to create chaos and make himself look good in front of the cameras. As it is it makes him look like an idiot that he didn’t check something was gonna happen and didn’t prepare contingencies
