    ^^ 'Were the plane controls taken over remotely as they would be in a hijacking?'

    Err ... I mean, I'm no pilot or anything, but I was completely under the impression aeroplanes had physical, mechanical controls for things like rudders in the form of foot pedals and so on, requiring human exertion over them.

    Not exactly the kind of thing one can seize control of remotely, is it?

    Fucking weirdos.

    • not planes that size.. they have physcial control, but it can all totally be automatic.autoflavour
    • most commercial airlines only require pilots during take of and landing, the rest of the flight is autopilotautoflavour
    • supervised of course by the pilotsautoflavour
