SCENE 1: Interior US wide-body airliner carrying 180 souls

#TaxTheRich crowd: "How come the pilot has so much more space than we do? Come on, let's go pull him back here and make him see what it's like to go four hours with your knees against the seat in front of you."

SCENE TWO : Chicago Air Traffic Control Center

Controller: Flight 1188, you are in a deep descent, please adjust your altitude to 20,000 feet. Confirm?

[Silence]

Controller: Flight 1188, confirm?

[Silence]

[Camera closes on a computer screen, Flight 1188 marker blinks]

Controller: Flight 1188, I say again, your descent is too rapid, adjust altitude to 20,000 feet and confirm

[Camera focuses in on computer screen. Flight 1188 marker blinks, then disappears]

Controller: DOES ANYONE SHOW FLIGHT 1188 ON THEIR SCREEN? We've lost Flight 1188.

[As scene fades, Controller drops headset and begins to sob visibly]

SCENE THREE: National Transportation Safety Board headquarters, a press conference is underway

Chief Investigator: After a review of cockpit flight recorder, as bizarre as it sounds, it appears that passengers overwhelmed the crew and forced the pilot and co-pilot to take seats in Economy class. With no one at the helm, the outcome was inevitable.
