Ha!
Several concepts from physics came to mind :-)
One is the parallel universe. Out there in hyperspace, there is probably another universe where AA211 was heading to Miami. It seemed as if we were flipping between these two universes.
Another interesting concept is that of a quantum teleportation. According to quantum physics, there is an infinitely small but positive probability that the aircraft would disappear from VA and appear in FL.
Lastly, a wormhole probably opened up over VA, took us down to FL for a short ride, and then another wormhole took us back to TN.
Which of these really happened? The mystery goes on...
There is ALWAYS a wormhole over DC (the Capitol building). They are definitely in a completely different realm of (un)reality... or maybe it's a rabbithole.
