Did you see about the movie Flightplan, with Jodie Foster, about some woman 'losing' her child on a A380 flight? "A claustrophobic, Hitchcockian thriller. A bereaved woman and her daughter are flying home from Berlin to America. At 30,000 feet the child vanishes and nobody admits she was ever on that plane..."
