A plane that never lands. A meeting that never happens. And a leader who suddenly stops responding.

In this episode, Sarah follows the surreal final chapter of the IntSAR operation — where delayed flights, missing passengers, and fantastical explanations blur the line between logistics and illusion.Through verified WhatsApp conversations and testimony from those still waiting to be paid or deployed, The BADmiralreveals the emotional toll of hope sustained for too long.

What began as a mission to serve humanity now looks more like a masterclass in delay and deflection.
