Yeah and bigfoot was in the aft lav fighting with Elvis which caused the nose to pitch up which caused a nest of gremlins to come to life and they shut both engines off.

You are not actually taking this serious are you?

Has this been announced officially anywhere by BAA, BA or Boeing?

EMI issues have been tossed around before. There are some folks who believe TWA 800's explosion was triggered by EMI.

One thing is sure: EMI doesn't affect cables and hydraulics

Totally fake email, sent to scare unsuspecting people.

Just like the chemtrail conspiracy story from years ago...totally fake, yet thousands of gullible people still believe this nonsense.

You mean Chemtrails are fake!

What is the current thinking behind the BA crash on a serious note? Although I would love to think that Gordon Browns car did this, I doubt it.

For what it's worth I had a BA 777 Capt'n jumping on us and told us that they have found the cause of the problem. I only caught some of what he was saying but something about the fuel being at -77C in cruise. Like I said I did not hear the whole story but that was the jist of it.
