Even the auto-pilot does not actually "fly" the aeroplane. It just maintains things like altitude and heading which are determined by the the pilot.

An airliner would have to be re-designed to allow for ground operation of remote control. They are not 'drones' by any stretch.

If it has a computer it can be hacked. Period.

Impossible to be done from the ground without modifying the aircraft significantly which was not done. Multiple independent, redundant systems running on different operating platforms. Which the pilot can turn off and on with a switch, which in this case is a flip switch located top left corner of the center console.

Not impossible. Just tremendously difficult.

People have been sneaking all sorts of things on to aircraft despite the best security efforts so it is not beyond reason that someone in a ground crew could have installed something to enable remote control of the plane.

Less likely is that the plane was compromised mid-flight. I seriously doubt that.

But could it have been compromised before this flight? Maybe long before this flight?

Care to say that it's impossible?

I dunno, It's my belief that there were a number of Malaysian officials both Military and civilian who would have been quite content to never have these black boxes recovered.

What is clear is that there was a disconnect and lack of information being communicated between the 2 bodies (Military and government).

Now that the recovery of the black box looks imminent the blame game has already begun.

Malaysian military withheld radar data on Flight MH370 as nations searched wrong area, sources say

One thing is for sure, when all is said and done, someone's head is going to be on the block for this.

There's blame to go around but you wait until all the facts are in which no one has except of course CNN.

Ok I've let you generalize along here but now you need to be a lot more specific and accurate. What exactly could be sneaked on board that would do that? Remembering that that the flight control systems like the autopilot are isolated from communication systems. Therefore an external antenna or dome would have to be mounted to enable a system that would then have to be integrated into that system.............which can be turned off with the flip of the pilots finger.
Not trying to be combative at all, but just because someone can hack a computer means nothing here.

Andy, just stop.

Hijacking every topic to smear Christians is bad form. No idea what got up your a** today that you're doing it but it's run its course.

WTF? Jabberwalker brought up the Rapture, and seemed to be under the delusion that any old person can be "caught up." I was replying to that, how is that hijacking a thread. Or were you just punning, considering the topic and all?

You mean that you really believe that there will be a "rapture"?

If there is, millions of fundamentalist hillbillies are going to be very surprised to find that there are so few seat on the bus that they are all SURE they should be on.

The Revelations of St. John must have been written while under the influence of an hallucinogen (ergot?). It is very different from the rest of the New Testament and you have to wonder if some of the delegates to the various conferences back in the Dark Age, who decided what should and should not be included in the Bible, selected that one to scare the shit out of the peasants that they wanted to control.

CNN and the rest of the media needs to tell the truth instead of giving families false hope, this isn't about finding potential survivors it's about making sure the plane hasn't fallen into Terrorists hands.
