[ WP ] Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 lands in Beijing Airport , 3 Months late - passengers claim to have flown as normal .

He had that same dream last night. 
 It was very early in the morning of June 8th again but this time his scheduled reconnaisance flight had been grounded at the last minute due to minor aircraft maintenance issues. 
 
 The digital clock clearly displays 06:40 as he enters the wardroom in search of a second round of coffee. A group of junior flight officers huddles round the monitor in shocked silence. 
 They part wordlessly to let him view the live new feed. 
 `` Flight MH370 lands in Beijing Airport, 3 months late - passengers claim to have flows as normal'' 
 On the monitor confused civilians are restrained and questioned by Chinese national guard. A red flash in the corner catches his eye. It is a young boy of 3 or 4 years in a red baseball cap. The boy smiles innocently and waves at the camera but his mother, an attractive young Chinese woman appears to stare directly him through the monitor with a expression of horror. 
 
 US Navy Lt. John Anderson was being hailed around the world as the savior of Beijing. 
 His decisive actions early the morning of June 8th 2014 had potentially saved the lives of millions of people in the crowded modern city of Beijing. 
 
 According to official reports the missing aircraft of flight MH370 had reappeared on radar in the early hours of June 8th 2014 on a flight path that lead directly to the heart of Beijing at precisely the time the financial district was waking up. 
 The USS Nimitz class aircraft carrier operating just outside of Chinese waters had a routine reconnaissance mission preparing to launch at the time of the discovery. 
 The F/A18 flight commanded by Lt Anderson scrambled to intercept and destroy the terrorist aircraft before it could reach its intended target. 
 The initial plan to attempt to force a landing in an sparsely populated area was unsuccessful as the target dropped speed and altitude suddenly as the military aircraft approached. In response to the evasive maneuvers John turned his aircraft hard over the passenger airliner and came up from below establish missile lock and fire. 
 
 This is where his memory falters. There is no way he could have seen what he sees in the flashback. It must be some form of post traumatic stress reaction. He was simply moving too fast to see the image burned into his memory, the face of a young boy in a red cap waving and horrified expression of the mother from the window above the wing. The only passenger window with the shades up. 
 
 John blinks rapidly in the bright light of the hotel lobby. In an instance he catches a freeze frame of the ceiling fan and his scalp tightens with a sense of impending doom. He sees the plane again in his mind, the boy, the windows, the odd static discharge along the hull. 
 
 He crumples the paper in his hand and tosses the it into the trash. He wo n't give the speech that has been carefully vetted by the Navy foreign relations officer. He enters the banquet hall, a gathering in his honor being broadcast live internationally. 
 
 There is something he needs to say to the world..
