And then there's the media, throwing around big $$s, booking sim time to actually demonstrate how to do some of those things (member Timbo mentioned something about CNN doing exactly that and it's just one example).
I don't know why (almost exclusively ignorant) people keep talking and talking and talking nonsense when clearly there's virtually zero evidence to support any particular theory. It's a circus, all over the world.
The bad guys don't need to read info on the forums, they can download a complete 777 Flight Crew Operations Manual with a simple Google search. I just did...1696 pages.
