Media have reported that the attacker was instructed to blow up the plane over US soil. It's possible there were even more specific instructions that we are not privy to. Pieces of a plane raining down over a major city could not only inflict significant casualties, but also creates a hell of a lot of fear.

It'd take a staggering amount of either skill or luck to hit even one or two buildings with plane bits. And pedestrians essentially do not exist in Michigan. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Detroit+Metro+airport&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.754532,114.169922&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Detroit+Metropolitan+Wayne+County+Airport,+Detroit,+Wayne,+Michigan+48242&t=h&z=13&iwloc=A http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...
