Visualization/Drawing Request of a line L intersecting all three coordinate planes Oxy, Oyz, and Ozx

I'm not sure how to draw a line that intersects all three coordinate planes. I'm suspicious that such a line doesn't exist. How do we prove its existence? I guess we should try draw a picture. I beg for a picture.

All the lines that are not parallel to a coordinate plane intersect all the three coordinate planes.

In the figure you can see the line that passes thorough the points $A=(2,1,0)$ and $ B=(0,2,1)$, that has equation $(x,y,z)=t(2,-1,-1)+(0,2,1)$ and intesects the plane $y=0$ at $C=(4,0,-1)$.
