No independent verification of this, but interesting
BOEING 777 Crash
Prime Minister Dr. Gordon Brown's motorcade was passing under the
approach path of BA038. His security system utilized an RF transmitter
to block out
any cell-phone triggered devices. Apparently this system has a two
mile
range, and it caused the Boeing 777 EEC's (electronic engine controls)
to sense a
"overboost" situation, thereby commanding a reduced-thrust situation
for
the engines, simultaneously. Most interesting.
We'll see how Boeing and the BAA handle this one. This could be
potentially bad, in view of the simplicity of technology that the bad
guys
could use to bring down an airliner.

What the heck happened? Fuel starvation? Doesn't sound like wind shear could have been an issue.
