If it was hijacked with inside help, then fuel estimates are meaningless. Just assume the maximum.
Also, my Egypt number rang when I was in DC even when I had the SIM out of the phone.
Also, what if the old pilot and the young pilot didn't get along and the young pilot was real cocky and condescending and then the old pilot got lost and took a wrong turn and was just like NOPE I DONT NEED ANY HELP I KNOW WHERE WERE GOING JUST GO BACK TO TWITTERING AND RAPPING OR WHATEVER YOU YOUNG IDIOTS DO!
And then he landed in those andamadnanan islands or whatever and just stubbornly told everyone Columbus-style NOPE THIS IS CHINA WELCOME TO CHINA SHUT THE eff UP AND GRAB YOUR BAGS AND ENJOY CHINA.
because he was old and proud and too embarrassed to admit he got lost
