Big and fast rogue planet

+0
−0

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.

enter image description here

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).

enter image description here

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?
