Somewhere in some alt-hist universe, 228 people have landed near a thriving Byzantine City about to be attacked.  Luckily some of the passengers have intimate knowledge of chemistry, weaponry, and military History.  One is an experience Classical Linguist, another just her doctorate in Post-Roman Eastern Studies.  At least one lesbian couple was on the plane.

Sadly, at least 10 are going to defect to the enemy and help them for at least the next three books.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Why not to the future?

The plane reaches Paris, what's left of it, after WW3 ended with humankind almost extinted, and have to defend from rowing bands of punk bikers that want the fuel left in the airplane.

Quote from: wikiIt has been confirmed that Prince Pedro Luís of Orléans-Braganza, 4th in line of succession to the extinct throne of Brazil (who was expected to one day become the Head of the Brazilian Imperial House after his elder uncles and his own father) was on the flight.

I for one blame Brazilian Republicans.  :mad:

How about the plane being suspended between past and future, a la The Langoliers:)

I like that this incident has suddenly put Fernando de Noronha on the map.  I have a peculiar fascination with remote islands.  Perhaps someday I'll move there and open a gas station that serves broaster chicken on the side.  :)

It was suspended between the past  and future before.  We call that the present.  Now the plane is gone and is in the past.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I dunno, it's some shit Colonel Sanders invented to do fried chicken at his gas station.  I think it involves a pressure cooker.
