In spite of this incident, the Boeing 777 has one of the best safety records of any plane ever built.
I don't fault the design of the plane its self, but, rather, the software in one of it's systems were at fault.
Maybe there is a way for them to have the pilot cut off the auto pilot and the auto throttle in the future if there is ever a incident a pilot were to encounter like this.

I would still rather be in a 777 than any other plane.

"To this point we haven't had any people coming back saying they've had faults."

Boeing: That's not a bug. It's a feature!

Could this be the situation with the Missing 777? Look where this happened in 2005.
