I addressed that on the original post, but reading comprehension is an individual talent. As peter jennings said, some do it well and some don't.
I would expect any communications gear to be voice activated, but I hear that a pilot must push ONE BUTTON ON THE STICK to radio a Mayday. IMHO, the facts indicate that this plane went down so fast that there was no time to even radio. (Certainly not enough to dump fuel)
It seems clear that the plane either failed catastophically or exploded. Either it blew apart on its' own, or someone blew it. Combined with bin Ladens' statements that "Muslims should stay out of planes and tall buildings, I feel the terrorist angle is more likely than an engine taking out a wing and a tail.
If anyone still thinks this is nutty, so be it.
Thank you for your adult tone.
