I doubt that the Boeing engineer meant a phone call when he said "A
communication failure will be looked at more than anything." From
what I have read about this incident, it sounds like the engines
refused to respond to commands from the cockpit. I suspect that is
the communication failure the Boeing engineer is talking about. I
suppose it is possible that a cell phone aboard the aircraft could
have interfered with the computer system that relays pilot commands to
the engines, although that seems unlikely. I have a suspicion this is
going to turn out to be a software problem.

I´m not even gonna read that.

The Sun will probably have it tied into "Diana´s murder" and Maddie´s
kidnapping by the end of the week.

Ah, The Sun. An always reliable source of information...

D,

Again, let's please wait for the accident investigators to do their
job. And above all, let's not put our faith in "journalism" from the
likes of The Sun.

Oh, one more thing: We don't know the engines "shut down" as you put
it. As you seem to care a great deal about aircraft safety, why not try
some accuracy?

Leave him alone, he just forgot his question mark?

Hmm, what am I missing here!

Hey, comon, cut the guy some slack. Here he's come up with a perfectly
plausable solution, and you guys can't accept it.
Here they were on a short final, the phone rings, they hit 'pause' and take
the call - simple - hell, Mxmoron even missed it!!

I was merely citing the article which begins with, "Transport
Department investigators are probing the possibility a crossed line
diverted a call to the Boeing 777, interfering with its computers and
shutting down the engines."

Ergo, that isn't my verdict (for the want of a better term).

And the article itself is all of ten sentences with no apparent
theorizing by the journalist but more a collage of cites of among
others a Boeing engineer and an incident involving an inadvertent call
transfer into an airplane flight deck.
