A 757 cruises as 500 mph and would travel 20 miles in 2 min 24 seconds at that speed. Whomever this man was that was making these 20 mile reports he must have been running back and forth like crazy... If the plane was traveling at half the speed... and I don't recall what the speed was... it would have taken 5 minutes to cover 20 miles.
Where was this young man going to get that information?
You are attempting to look into the mind of a playwright whose last major work was on Broadway ten years ago and closed after a successful run of eight years. It's akin perhaps to discussing the nuances in "Waiting for Godot".
If you have synapses that are unoccupied and need further workout, I'd suggest you break down breaking news (and insights from many about them) with regard to C-4 on airplanes ten years after, or whatever on earth is presently going down in Costa Rica, or perhaps Google up the transcripts prepared during the retention of rescued [re-pirated?] Iranian sailors.
