I can’t believe people are still talking about mechanical failures. A mechanical failure does not cause the pilot to pull a 180, fly not towards the nearest airport, but to Indonesia, with the transponder off.

A hijacking does. Either that or the pilots were on drugs, and that possibility is at least given some credence by the two Australian bimbos CNN interviewed.

If you are an airline and own expensive planes, you install anti-idiot measures in your planes to keep those idiots from ditching your $300 million planes.

Including remote-control software and protocols.

Every time they show that Mary Schiavo woman I want to punch her in the face..she refuses to believe for a second that its terrorism or a hijacking, keeps on going back to mechanical failure which I think anyone with an IQ above 5 does not believe is possible..yet she keeps on focusing on that, and says “Just like TWA 800 was a mechanical failure” LOL that was a missile that hit the plane of course she won’t admit that either

Yep...it gets tiresome when folks don't make that connection. I've tried to follow this as close as I can and I'm leaning towards the co-pilot as the culprit or co-culprit.

I wonder if the pilot let more bimbos inside the cockpit and one of them bumped against some buttons or switches.
