Flightplan... and spoiler. Don't read if you have not seen it yet

[question everything]

and intend on seeing it.


First, earlier this year we were stuck in Amsterdam airport for 30 hours because of 6" of snow. And when she was looking at the monitor and most flights were listed as delayed or canceled in English and in German, I was thinking that that scene reminded me of Amsterdam airport and... when the credits rolled, it was filmed in that airport.

Now for the story. I can see why airlines and airports and crew would be alarmed by this movie. To suggest that explosives can be hidden in a coffin - if true - can be alarming.

To suggest that a crew member, and air marshall, can be the bad guys, to actually endanger the passengers, again, can be alarming to airlines and to airports.

I am curious whether any aircraft, including the new Airbus, really has so many cavernous spaces.

Otherwise, as soon as I saw the daughter drawing a heart on the window I knew that this would be important later.

And, yes, her question of why there were not two coffins was relevant and should have raised the alarm except that, I suppose, the captain really did not want to look into this too much, being convinced that she was just a distraught woman.

Oh, and I wonder whether aircraft are compartmentalized this way so that one part can be exploded and decimated while others - where they hid - can remain intact.

1. Interesting points

I think this is one movie that I will rent, even though I have already seen it, because of the details and plot twists.
