They had one of those experts on with Geraldo tonight who says he believes this is terrorism, why, because he said that with 777 planes they automatically send signals to the tower, the Pilot doesn’t have to do anything, the fact that nothing was sent to the tower is very suspicious to him
If it was a hijacking, and there is a real possibility of that. Almost any trained terrorist know about all the "secret codes" and techniques available to the pilots.
In a moment of duress, putting in the hijack code is the last thing i am worried about. Yes it is important, but fighting for my life probably will come first
One of those experts pointed out that what happened to the golfer could have happened to this plane. As the plane rose in altitude the pilot forgot to adjust the cabin pressure. Everyone would have simply fallen asleep.
'Tower' responsibility ends at 5 miles.
