MH 370: Missing Malaysian Airliner

[Peter Lemkin]

As far as I know Boeing has a pilot control option so the pilot can always be in control. The scenario of the pilots sitting there with control of the plane taken away probably isn't likely since it would involve simply turning a switch to regain control. I don't know if the fly by wire computer flight control system can be overridden externally.

Of course it is not officially acknowledge that a remote hijack and subsequent control/landing is possible regardless of the actions of the pilots but, post 9-11, most skeptics of official narratives understand that 'National security', or even mega-bucks can command precisely that ability.

This article references the sort of scenario I had in mind.

I'm not pushing any theory here you understand; just covering as many bases as appear on my radar - no pun intended

For the FAA's own admission of vulnerabilities on this plane [in bureaucratic language], see my post #71
Others say any modern Boeing is vulnerable - or can surreptitiously be made so.
It seems that just as the NSA and GCHQ have built in back-doors in hardware and software, some plane manufacturers have built-in back-doors to wrest control from either authorized or unauthorized pilots. Have a nice flight!::
