Explain the hard banking of the second plane as it went in. Watch the film.
I have several pilots in my family. We've discussed it. The pilot was
showboating. Automatic pilot won't do that. I doubt that remote control
could with a plane that large. How would someone even plant a sophisticated
remote control on a scheduled airliner? Three airliners? Look at the flight
path of the plane that went down in Pennsylvania. Virgin and British Airways
supply cell phones attached to the seats for business class travelers. They
work fine. I'm not buying it.
