Holy cow. That is frightening.

It's impossible to update the software once the thing ships?

Some of it. What you are referring to is firmware type software though, and is normally only revised with new hardware.

For nav databases etc., it has a special data port. The built-in checksum makes sure it is from the manufacturer and is valid.

So you pick out 1 little exception? This was apparently part of a bigger plot, and a trial run (guy seemed to like live trials).

A guy who actually was in on the big splashy event called the WTC bombing?

You just proved my point.

[null and void]

Thanks! That raises my comfort level quite a bit.

islamism until demonstrated otherwise.

It is never fast.

I would agree—but what if the leak happened in the cockpit area? That means the loss of cabin pressure at the worst place possible—and the flight crew may have been incapacitated even faster than normal.

Kind of tough to envision a scenario where a very professional flight crew flies an modern, highly redundant Airbus into the ground in a conventional in flight emergency situation without communication for a full 8 minutes.

Especially when they knew they were over the Alps.

Now they say they have lost the last several minutes of in flight data recording on data recorders specifically designed to capture and record the last several minutes on any in flight emergency

I could envision a problem with the pitot static system commanding a slow descent from the autopilot but for 8 minutes without communication?

One little exception. Lol

[the OlLine Rebel]

WTC bombing is no exception.

Poor example. The guy was part of a huge ring of conspiracy.

“I can’t make out the question that the reporter asked...also the YouTube site does not show the question that was asked???? Just “”?”

I asked that same question twice, but didn’t get an answer. I’m not sure what the point of the youtube video was.

[Darksheare]

Wait..didn’t we just speak about a movie involving doctored coffee yesterday?

[halo66]

Are you referring to the news conference...i am still trying to figure out what the reporter had asked during the news conference? Do you know?

[JRandomFreeper]

Coffee? what coffee? I'm just a cook.

[Darksheare]

Heh heh heh.

[Darksheare]

Can anyone say “Air Comet”?

[Darksheare]

OOps, “De Havilland Comet”
Air Comet was an airline, the Comet was a nice aircraft that had square windows leading to the aircraft disintegrating in flight.

EgyptAir flight 990, 31Oct1999

I’m referring to the news that the windshield may have failed, post #49.
