 In 2003, two men stole a parked Boeing 727 from Luanda International Airport and flew off, prompting a global search by intelligence agencies. Both the men and the plane literally vanished.

In July 2003, a possible sighting of the missing aircraft was reported in Conakry, Guinea, but was conclusively dismissed by the U.S. State Department.

The plane and the men who stole the aircraft remain missing to this very day. https://image.nostr.build/8b2a92a7aba5563d1e2287b814d71de48c235859d88f3c5b41a200749c4f435c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/eca662a7c75d4bd968af910a90182952fedcd0e3e2f14147e73290addb90211b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/dba78fbf25ef9a495a8ab0e076e97a9330f938e8ef1fc8ff2e1d5ad5ea99f2e1.jpg  
 I want love like this  
 I'm betting they didn't literally vanish. They just flew where people didn't see where they went. 
 We may never know... Or maybe we will know and we'll also learn that people often say literally when they quite literally mean figuratively  
 Literally definitely sounds better. 
 hmm, I thought the US government and everybody else claims that this is literally impossible. 
 New goal unlocked.
