Creative Speculation

Triple 7 plane.

What happened is quite simple if you believe anything, and that's a requirement.

A giant UFO captured the plane in the sky, used a cloaking device, took the plane into a giant cavern in the sea, and when they are good and ready, the plane will be returned intact, passengers all alive, and an Alien who resembles Michael Rennie will make a dramatic speech (whereabouts is secret), and the people will be returned, only after we are warned to have peace and take the ridiculous TV programs off as they are polluting the electromagnetic waves being sent into the innocent Cosmos.

That's my hope. I don't like to think of all of them being killed so quickly and senselessly.

I like Putin too. Wouldn't bother him a bit if I didn't so why bother not?
