Cheers. Yeah it was a good time. Looking forward to hearing the podcast and looking forward to doing another one.
I like this one, too. I toyed with the idea of having them wrest control away, crash in the jungle somewhere, and get away but then I thought that was pretty unlikely. Criminals are generally poor-impulse-control people caught in the wrong place or raised badly so generally not criminal masterminds. And then I thought that the shuttle would be mostly automated like a lot of today's aircraft so what would YOU do? If you knew death was a fairly certain thing in any case and you knew your life was worthless to the government? FUCK IT. Take 'em out!
I just love the image of "Sir, we have them onscreen." "Bring them up, private" Cut to image of six shirtless laughing criminals behind the plane's joystick, making faces and giving the camera the finger. Captain "Oh, shiii-" control tower blows up in a mushroom cloud as the shuttle collides with it. Kills me.
