Yeah there was a flight from cyprus once that crashed because they took off with the pressurization set to manual instead of automatic and nobody noticed or fixed it

The hijackers didn't kill everyone with hypoxia or jam all the cellphones. They told the passengers to watch the television screens for an important safety announcement then played a hypnotic subliminal brainwashing video to create a small army of sleeper cell terrorist agents to disperse around the world.

So we put out an APB on hypnotoad and bang we find the masterminds behind this all

There has been some speculation about the cargo manifest. I'm wondering if there was unlisted cargo worth stealing in midair.

It was apparently carrying a bunch of lithium ion batteries, within the legal limit but more than various authorities believe should be the legal limit.

-Obama tried to nuke South Carolina, but the military detonated the nuke in the ocean just off the coast, and then Obama fired all the generals.
-Obama is giving Montana back to the Native Americans
-Russia is about to invade the US because they don't like Monsanto.

I originally caught this on HBO back in '90. I think it's been edited to de-emphasize the dead-people-in-planes theme, and throwing in more of the sci-fi crap. Apparently an early role for Kryten as well.
At least they kept the scene where the stewardesses blaze up and attack a 707.

Right, but from what I've read if those caught on fire there would be an unexpected catastrophic event, which they have pretty much ruled out. I'm thinking gold or precious gems.

Maybe the Libyans were going after the plutonium in the cargo. How hard is mid-air refueling anyhow?

Mark Karpeles of Bitcoin fame was on board, his private key to Mt. Gox fortunes in a suit case. Now the terrorists own our future economy.
