oh, why, thank you, my dear!! OK, Letter L (a Stephen King book that became a movie)

On a cross-country red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston, ten passengers awaken to find that the crew and most of their fellow passengers have disappeared. Bob (one ot the characters) theorizes that they have flown through a time rip resembling an aurora borealis that the airlines spotted over the Mojave Desert. Bob declares that the world they are in is the past, a world that doesn't allow time travelers to see past events, but a deserted world that "time" has left behind. To get back, Bob theorizes, they must fly back through the aurora.

Hi Snagg, was yours "Ozymandias"? I really love poetry! Especially John Donne

 Here is the Shelley poem:

I met a traveller from an antique land

 Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

 Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

 Half sunk, a shattered visage lies,

 whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, 

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

 And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

 Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

 Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away".
