What was that? Pointing out that I was a wimpy nerd who would never look like Tom? I am long over that knowing he is a scientologist.

Ok, so the bad guys are cleaver in holding the airport hostage, and keeping the planes in the sky as hostages. But their escape plan was forcing the airport to provide a jumbo jet to allow the bad guys to escape. Ok, fine, but what happens in the script? McClain jumps on the wing of the jet, fights the bad guy, releases the gas cap on the wing, and lights it on fire, which defies gravity and blows the bad guys up.
Ok fine. But even if he had not done that, and the jet took off what would stop military jets from shooting it down?
THAT is your prolem with.it?
Jaysus....
First off - it isn' t gas. It' s jet fuel - basically.kerosene.
And it isn' t particularly volatile.
Holy crap, not the point!
McClain blew up the plane at the end of the movie, which misses the point. Even if he had not, military radar and tracking could have shot the bad guys down at any point after they took off.
