			A plane disappears.  And nobody suggests an obvious suspect.  Aliens.

			You should definitely call this in - tell those bungling intelligence people that not-illegal aliens are behind the disappearance of MH370.

			Using sophisticated software, technicians have managed to extract information from the pings of Malaysia Air 370.  They have released a recording of those pings:

			Apparently it was a hijack.  The plane flew for 7 hours after going off radar.  Still cant be found though.  I suppose there may be some hope now this info has been released, but maybe not much.  :/  i feel so sorry for the families waiting for news.

			This is the only thing work is talking about. I think it's the first step in a terrorist plot that will involve repainting the plane and spoofing another plane's transponder and taking out the new wtc tower.

			I saw a vid a while back where some tech geeks hacked a car.  They made its collision avoidance system swerve the car across a parking lot while being driven.  They also made the brakes lock up, and made the vehicle accelerate, all this against the drivers' wishes. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I'm thinking this could be/might already have been done to an airplane, too.

			Also, I thought about ditching the plane in the sea.  A particularly smooth water landing (a la 'Miracle on the Hudson') could leave the plane intact, and then it could sink.  Leaving no/very little debris.

			Fly-by-wire (FBW) is a system that replaces the conventional manual flight controls of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires (hence the fly-by-wire term), and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response. The fly-by-wire system also allows automatic signals sent by the aircraft's computers to perform functions without the pilot's input, as in systems that automatically help stabilize the aircraft.[1]

			Do you really think people from the back woods of the Appliachians could do all that?

			Absolutely, designed to prevent accidental inputs, but intensional is a whole new ball game. We're already seeing what can go wrong in cars. Wait until they evolve to fly-by-wireless.
