Since the jets weren't called in and they weren't shot down and they are going to testify almost immediately and the stewardesses weren't in a frenzy and the passengers weren't in a frenzy and no one who greeted the passengers were in a frenzy, I'd say this was a planned event.
Oh, the poor media...left out of the loop....
It is bizarre. One poster mentioned the possibility of some type of sexual activity in the flight deck. That may be true. The pilots said that they were distracted by their laptops. That doesn't explain why they didn't answer their radios.
