Funny, I don't remember seeing a phone in the flight deck.

I'll have a good ol look around tomorrow.

Well, that probably depends on the airline/aircraft, is sure possible to
have it installed as an option.

Nah. Nobody dos that on airliners. We have several methods of geting
messages to/from already, primarily ACARS.

Several Business aircraft have them, mostly Iridium/Sat phone.


I doubt anyone has them n the cockpit, though.

Here's an intriguing take on what might have caused the 777's engine

After publishing this I think The Sun will have to forgo the right to
publish on April 1st! And to think they missed the opportunity to posit
that it was Diana calling - from Paris - proof she is still alive!!

Classy, eh? Have a look around the site, it's hilarious if nothing else.

It's a garbage Brit scandal sheet One of many. Not content with polluting
Britain's mind with it, they're franchising all over the place.

If they ran a headline saying the sun ws going to rise in the east tomorrow
I would't beleive it.

Surely the tabloids can offer a better explanation for the mysterious
loss of power.

Here's a few:

- Man in nearby flat, fed up with noise fires home-made
Electromagnetic Pulse device (modified toaster) at approaching BA
flight

- Prime Minister presses wrong button in his Jaguar -- blames Q-branch
for confusion.

- Boeing admits forgetting to remove "off switch" from test designs.

- Faulty coffee maker shorts cabin electrics.

- Pilot claims he saw a Blue Police Box materialize in flight path,
panics.

One other could be, "Cable connecting the throttle to the throttle
sensor inexplicably snaps"

If the software used for control has any component in it that came
from the Seattle Washington area my guess is someone pressed alt-
control-delete.

Do you find it interesting that this was not reported in a real
newspaper?

Yes, quite - apart from other lightweights like Switched and
Cnet.com.au. But to just have a look at the pic of the moment of
impact - which I don't recall seeing elsewhere - makes it worthwhile
to point your browser Sun-ward
