The latter is the answer, plus or minus a tad.

It's often miscalculated. The report the timings are taken from at

changes time-zones part way through the time line, and it's very easy to miss.

Because the plane was in a different time zone by then. Have you followed the link to the report? The plane was flying W from Florida to Texas.
