Computer Sent Missing Plane Off Flight Path
quote:
WASHINGTON — The first turn to the west that diverted the missing Malaysia Airlines plane from its planned flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was carried out through a computer system that was most likely programmed by someone in the plane’s cockpit who was knowledgeable about airplane systems, according to senior American officials.
quote:
Instead of manually operating the plane’s controls, whoever altered Flight 370’s path typed seven or eight keystrokes into a computer on a knee-high pedestal between the captain and the first officer, according to officials. The Flight Management System, as the computer is known, directs the plane from point to point specified in the flight plan submitted before each flight. It is not clear whether the plane’s path was reprogrammed before or after it took off.
The fact that the turn away from Beijing was programmed into the computer has reinforced the belief of investigators — first voiced by Malaysian officials — that the plane was deliberately diverted and that foul play was involved. It has also increased their focus on the plane’s captain and first officer.

If it's breaking news on Fox, it would have to be something about Benghazi or Obamacare.

The first turn was done by computer system. System can only do that if someone programmed the computer during the flight or before it took off.
Plane was reprogrammed.

Russia just annouced the establishment of the Crimean Republic. I forgot all about that Ukraine stuff. It's a new cold war, and I'm more worried about this plane.

Ms. Kelly is fire as usual though.

They mentioned this once before. How would they know this? My only guess is based on supposition due to the path changes must exactly mimic those that the computer would do in simulations.

They are assuming the pilots were already dead when this course change was made?

And we now know that the first officer was the one who made the final transmission before Flight 370 disappeared. Do you guys think both men were in on it?

No. I read earlier that they had not requested to be assigned together. I assume from that that the pairing was random (and not predictable based on a rotation or something).

No, they didn't request each other for this flight.
