"Five passenger aircraft have blown up in midair and crashed into the Atlantic"
Now why in the world would you blow them up over the atlantic when the only thing below you is water??
If I were a terrorist I would blow them up while getting ready to land, thereby causing huge amounts of damage on the ground as well. Imagine 10 airplane crashes into the heart of major cities. Now ther's a plan.

From what I understand, the informant who foiled the plot said that they were going to blow them up over the ocean, so that the method used (liquids diguised as sports drinks) could not be discovered.
