First of all it was a redeye flight so most passengers were asleep. It might be possible that the airplane was slowly decompressed in which case any others awake would have gone to sleep, too. Everyone would have suffocated in their sleep and died a peaceful death.

Thunderball scenario. Pump gas into the plane, take it somewhere and offload the bodies.

That’s my theory, too. And the auto pilot took over and made corrections as “it” believed were needed. That’s why it was zigzagging across the sky.

Wouldn't their ears have been painfully popping and woken them up?
