I always used to say "there's always a ghost in the machine somewhere". I haven't done it in many, many years, don't have the tools and toys for it anymore, but that's wandering off topic a little anyways.

It's certainly possible to hack into the auto-pilot and override the system and take full control of a commercial airliner, communications and all... or at least it was in 2000 - 2001.

See my post #37 about swapping planes... what's your take on it?

Peace,

Ghost

What legitimate questions? zappaman Aug 2012 #12

The legitimate question in his post I linked to... Frank_Norris_Lives Aug 2012 #14

Maybe because the pilots were busy fighting for their lives zappaman Aug 2012 #15

Can we clarify your standpoint first? Frank_Norris_Lives Aug 2012 #23

No. I've been through this silliness for years. I can't even remember all the details at this point LARED Aug 2012 #24

Oh, please. The pilots were not Chuck Norris. Flatulo Sep 2012 #53

I'm afraid you missed the point... Frank_Norris_Lives Sep 2012 #54

My Kenpo instructor was a marine combat vet. He's probably about 60 now, Flatulo Sep 2012 #55

There's a previous incident that might provide some illumination. AZCat Sep 2012 #56

Worth noting that it was a three-man crew, and they all sustained severe injuries, Flatulo Sep 2012 #57
