Well, the British aircraft accident investigation board has finally
come around to the conclusion that I made several weeks ago: the event was
RF-induced.

Prime Minister Dr. Gordon Brown's motorcade was passing under the
approach path of BA038. His security system utilised a 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.
Will Mr.Rod Serling pick up the white courtesy phone!
