Life Above a Milk Bar
00:00:00
Speaker
Manny Lu lives with his wife, Lina, and young daughter Lili, above a milk bar in Melbourne, Australia.
Bao Yu's Passing
00:00:06
Speaker
Sadly, Lina's mother, Bao Yu, dies following a long battle with heart disease.
Return to Beijing
00:00:11
Speaker
Ming, her father, demands that Lina return for the funeral in Beijing. The date is March 6th, 2014. At such short notice, Lina and Li Li must make the trip to Beijing via Kuala Lumpur.
Hijacking Plot
00:00:27
Speaker
In Angola, Bab's Angula, a retired warlord from the Angolan Civil War, hatches in a furious plan with Otto von Esschen, a diamond merchant to steal a Boeing 777. Bab's has amassed considerable wealth, and blood diamonds in his greed shows no bounds. Otto will stop at nothing to achieve Bab's plan using blackmail, bribes, and even murder. Wait for it.
00:00:51
Speaker
We're probably anticipating those, shouldn't
Flight MA370's Fate
00:00:53
Speaker
I? Yeah. Lina and Lili board Malaysian Airlines Flight MA370 for the final leg of their journey, an overnight flight to Beijing arriving in the early morning of March 8th. Little does Lina know that this flight is targeted for hijacking by Otto's team. It's late, and all are tired. They take off into the darkness. Lili looks out the window and says to Lina, I can see the lights again, and wow, they're getting small. It's pretty, mum. She cuddles her rag doll. She calls Mr. Snuggles. Hold on.
00:01:24
Speaker
Yes, Angel, they are pretty, replies Lina on autopilot, her mind picturing her father grieving over his mother's passing. We'll be seeing Grandad soon at just one more sleep. Later, Flavio nodded. Brian took his cue. Hello? Dave's young neck was no match for the mercenary twist. Dave's like...
00:01:55
Speaker
I think we're gonna have to do that after every sequence from this song. Dave's lifeless body slumped forward, pulling on his harness. Flavio put on his mask and inhaled deeply.
The Hijacking Unfolds
00:02:07
Speaker
MA370 was theirs.
The Unanswered Arrival
00:02:14
Speaker
Ming waits with others for Lina's arrival, but MA370 never arrives.
00:02:24
Speaker
Lena and Lee Lee are the only family he has. Maybe not for the questions. Where is he made 370? Why does Babs want a jetliner? What will happen to the plane? Will Lena get to the funeral on time? That blurb is too long.
