Here's an article on the premise of this scenario.
TLDR: The Beatles go to Manila for concerts. Accidentally snubs wife of local dictator. Said wife happens to be a drama queen. Gets super pissed and vows revenge. Presumably hires a bunch of goons to scare the living daylights out of the Fab Four. They all GTFO and vow never to return to the PH.
So, IOTL the Beatles managed to get out of the Philippines in one piece. But what if the (presumably Imelda Marcos-hired) thugs at the airport had been rougher and ended up beating all 4 of them to death?
What happens now? What's the international reaction? What knock-on effects can this possibly have on the Marcos regime?
