Big and fast rogue planet
There is a big, very big planet that is travelling fast, very fast. It's a rogue planet (not attached to a star system). It's going to pass close, very close to the earth.
The earth is probably going to be destroyed by the gravitational forces and sent spinning as a rogue planet itself or toward the sun, I don't really care. What is of interest, is that some humans that were on the earth were sucked by the nomad planet's gravity (Edit for Raditz comment: if you prefer, you can make them sucked by something else, but please not laser beams, only natural-ish forces).
Assuming:
- The fate of earth afterward to be irrelevant
- Long and medium-term survival on the rogue planet to be irrelevant
- People should however land alive on the new planet
Would such a transfer be possible?
