As you point out, genuinely unsettling because of the apparent normality. No gibbering. No howling. No wailing or ganshing of teeth. Just a few people picking at meals they definitely can't eat and one mother cradling her child just a wee bit more protectively than usual. Even the applause is little more than a polite ripple. You'd have to think a predominantly American set of passengers would be a-whoopin' and a-hollerin' when the plane finally touched down. Very eerie indeed. Wow.
