-Caveat Lector- Duncan, It is not likely these hijackers would have bothered to take all the flight lessons if they were going to use remote controls. Their flight instructors have been interviewed, etc. The cell phone calls from the people on board the plane do not mention anything of this nature. Flight instructions are very expensive at around $30,000 per person. I do not think they would have gone to all of that trouble if they had this alternative. Interesting theory, however. Something to keep in mind, also. I think this country is beginning to use this in Iraq.

Apologies if it has already been discussed and dismissed, but I wondered if anyone has considered whether 3 or all 4 (?) of the planes were being controlled remotely? Could explain a few things, and the technology certainly exists. Chinese hackers? NSA? This also represents a great opportunity to 'attack' those few remaining countries not currently part of the global economic order, ie Libya, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan... sound familiar? Turkey, North Korea, Indonesia and Yugoslavia have been brought into line, but there are always those pesky few nationalistic nations who have held out. And if all the 'goodies' are on the same team, then those opposing must be 'baddies', right!? Any techno feedback on the remote control abilities would be warmly received. I am already told by an 'expert' that 757's in particular would be easier to remote control because of their more modern communications systems. Anyone know if this is true? sad days Duncan <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
