Thank you, I came here to say the same. I followed the headline because I wanted to read about the idiots who performed an armed robbery on a plane, only to realise they had no escape route. I am disappointed.
Although, of course, I don’t really wish that kind of flight badness on a large group of strangers. That would be mean.
Let me see if I understand this. They bought expensive tickets on an international flight, hoping to make a profit from petty theft? Doesn’t seem like a good business plan.
The jewelry and cash were diversions for cover. The fact that this happened while the passengers were sleeping is the key clue – this was an Inception-style dream invasion. Look for an unexpected inherited corporation breakup in the near future.
