im watching this for like the 1000 time and i know its die hard and logic isnt supposed to come into play, but its supposed to take place at national airport in DC...y dont they just re-route all the planes to BWI,or the other DC airport?...or the philly airport...there are so many around there...y did they pick a city with so many airports to do the movie?

perhaps because the main airport doesn't have contact w/ the planes.

yes, I suppose they could have gone to other airports and warned the planes...but then we could never hear some famous quotes from mcclane.

communication was cut off to all the planes from the control tower (by the bad guys)

It took place at Dullas, not Natioanl. National is just a parking lot, a few gates and a metro stop :D

That's the first rule with 90% of movies...In HOMR (BABF22) Homer sees a popular comedy and, with his inflated intelligence, notices all the plot holes in it.

He's the *only* one not having a good time...
