Initially, there are three different points on the plane. Every minute, three points are chosen, for example $A$, $B$ and $C$, and a new point $D$ is generated which is symmetric to $A$ with respect to the perpendicular bisector of line segment $BC$. 24 hours later, it turns out that among all the points that were generated, there exist three collinear points. Prove that the three initial points were also collinear. (Author: V. Shmarov)
