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.

This was brought up by some newspaper or another around the time it
happened.
It's looking like it was fuel waxing in any case, but they'll be a hile
with this one. Meanwhile some other airline had one spool down in a
similar fashion in LA, I think it was.
