Something to consider. It is possible to hack an acft doing an autoland using an I phone. There was an article on this not too long ago. The recovery is to hand fly the acft which disconnects the autopilot. More than likely the crew just flew it into the ground if there was no outside interference, mechanical issues, etc.. Just sayin’.

New shows debris immediately on land, I.E. on the sea wall.
So he hit the wall he was WAY too low. Should be 100 ft or more ‘up’ at that earliest section of the runway.

No, the controversy was about hacking the FMS through a vulnerable ACARS, which could result in a flight plan change (and even then not a direct change to the operating flight plan). It was not about directly hacking an autopilot.

I don’t believe it when those road signs say my speed is “radar controlled” either!
