Yeah...there is absolutely no way this story can be spun to have a good ending.
At best the ending is horrible. At worst...I cannot think of a word to describe really, really, horrible.
If it were an ordinary hijacking, there would already be demands from the hostage takers. If they stole the plane for re-purposing (flying bomb?, resale to a turd world airline who won’t ask many questions?) then the fate of the passengers is in doubt.
