Did the programmers go too far?

I was folloeing this AI 777 and it was flying in a straight line. Then it did something very strange. It nose dived into the water, not far from New York City. Now I have heard of UFOs and stuff in fs2002, but did the programmers make it so real as to depict terrorism. I mean it just nose dived and hit the water. Wierd.

Its possible that they made failures effective to AI... or its screwed up and its trying to land at a non-existant airport.. or it missed the airport.... Ive got a Q though.. what happened when and after it hit?

It just dissappeared. I flew past it as it hit, and when I looked back it was gone.

Hmm.. the dissapearing AI thing strikes again... usually happens if theres no parking for the plane.... its a good possibility that it was trying to land at an airport.. and that airport is non-existant... I could be able to clear things up if you tell me where he took off.. then I could check my AI tools to see where he is meant to go...

Well... I don't really know where he took off from. I was buzzing the city and saw him out of the corner of my eye. So I followed him. We flew almost directly over an airport, but when he made his descent after we had passed the airport, he didn't pull up like a normal landing. He just smacked into the ground fast and at the angle in the shots.

Ok.. its a good possibility it probably missed the airport... probably thought it was somewhere else... anyway.. what was the airport you passed then?

No idea. But it was a little north of NYC.

Well.. the only airport in that area large enough to have 777s is probably La Guardia.. lemme check.. Ill see if I can find the flight
