Odd and even numbers....
IFR when flying a heading from 0º to 179º your selected cruise altitude should be Odd Thousands (33,000, 35,000, etc.) By the same token, headings from 180º to 359º should be Even Thousands for IFR. However, ATC may assign other altitudes at their discretion.

So converging aircraft should not crash into each other.... unless the pilot did go rogue and fly all over the show.... but at that time of night in that area..... Zip, nada......
Terrain masking in a B777...... and no-one heard it or saw it..... the next Tui ad.....

If a plane flies in the air and no one is there to see it, does it still make a sound? Or does it only work in forests?

The only place that could welcome a plane like that with no fuss or bother is the ocean, even that is a long shot but nothing else really fits!

Does it?

Well you may scoff at him - but he is UNANIMOUSLY loved by his people. I mean, how else could you explain a 100% vote in support?

Here's the 600 runways that the plane could feasibly have landed at. I believe NK is just out of range.
