It had passed over Pennsylvania, the southern Great Lakes region, Minnesota, and North Dakota before... [center]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/center][/hider] [hider=The flight as it ended]Just about 4 hours into the flight, over what would one day be known as North Dakota, the plane had its [i]strange experience[/i], the temporal portal: [list] [*]The crew and passengers experienced sudden and excruciating pain, resulting in a loss of consciousness for a couple to several minutes. [*]When the flight crew regained consciousness, they found: that they had lost all communications and navigation signals; they still had control of the plane but only in manual; and they were suffering cascading electrical losses that the pilot feared would eventually cause the plane to fall from the sky.[/list] The pilot decreased altitude and began searching for an airport. Instead, he found no airports, no cities, no highways; there were no indications that Human Beings had ever existed on the land below them. An unexpected and unexplainable low fuel warning forced the pilot to look for a place to perform an emergency landing. He located a piece of relatively flat prairie and headed for it. Unfortunately, they came in too high; they had to wait to pass over a river, then put it down hard before hitting a low-lying range of mountains. (Traveling northward, they crashed at the [url=https://i.imgur.com/ERWyJdV.png]red circle[/url].) Both wings were torn away from the fuselage, but there was no fire. The plane skidded almost 200 yards over rough ground, splitting in two between the passenger section and the tail; the former rolled over onto its side in the midst of a small grove of trees and undergrowth.

(There will be more deaths in the days immediately following the crash I assure you.)
