Okay, there is NO map, globe, flat or otherwise. They are ALL projections! Also, this was about an emergency landing. I've been on the flight from Hong Kong to LA & unless that flight was already on course for a major detour they would NEVER make an emergency landing in Alaska. They would more likely land in South Korea or Japan.
If you would have actually read the article, it is perfectly reasonable they made an emergency landing in Alaska on a globe.
But go ahead and show us USING A GLOBE why it would have made more sense to stop in South Korea or Japan.
I already showed you ON A GLOBE why it makes perfect sense ON A GLOBE to have had an emergency landing in Alaska.
Now, prove YOUR claim that Japan would have been a better choice.
Wow, using what you just posted showing the globe, do you not know where Hong Kong or South Korea are? And how much land do you see that the line YOU drew went over before it got to Alaska! American flights do NOT fly over China!
And again ALL globes are projections!
You sound educated but, clearly you've never been to Asia.
LOL. Literallly EVERYTHING you said was wrong. Yes, flights DO fly over China, and globes are not projections. I'm sorry that you are so ill informed, but reality will go on being reality regardless of your state of misinformation. Good luck changing reality, but it will remain reality whether you like it or not.
