West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the
engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is
also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately
the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in
the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany or West Germany or
in "no man's land"?
