Ended up in this area? is that feasible? >> of course he could have disabled various systems. but to completely shut off the acars, he would have had to go back into the e and e, the electronics and engineering compartment thats eight feet behind the cockpit and down below the galley. and basically vacate the cockpit. the evidence is such that the acars system was being pinged by the satellite. so he would have had to disable that, too. it just seems so implausible to me. >> you must be talking ...

See the plane being towed. there it is. but it had to make this emergency landing and what do you think? some bozo flying the plane around and doesnt know what hes doing, maybe a training pilot. no, this plane is actually owned by your government. in particular, the justice department. they were actually taking part in a training flight for homeland security and safety efforts when they had a fuel issue. nobody was hurt. only two people were in that plane. illinois is the sixth state to legali...
