1. It's how Google gets their information.

It uploads the flight, gets everyone's records and images, then downloads it back to the flight plan.

One way you can tell is if everyone who gets off the plane is photoshopped.

2. Duplicate flight.

3. The Earth is gone?

I know we obstructed the view of Venus, but damn, that's drastic.
