Pilot claims Boeing jets have remote-controlled self-destruct

The twoofers are now gabbing about some article at Alex Jones's Infowars site in which a pilot claims that Boeing airliners have explosives aboard that can be remotely triggered.

Field McConnell, a pilot for Northwest Airlines, has filed a lawsuit charging that many commercial airliners are rigged with explosives that can be remotely detonated. He refuses to fly until such devices are removed. McConnell's claim is seemingly given credence by none other than Boeing's vice-president, who tacitly admitted the fact in a speech last year.

Here's the quote from the Boeing executive that allegedly proves this true:

"One nasty little thing is that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which has an almost explicit prohibition on possessing explosives. For those of you who are at BCA [Boeing Commercial Airplanes], you might remember that every single door on an airplane has actuators that are triggered by explosives," said Bain.

:rolleyes: And so the Infowars nutter concludes:

Was this a slip of the tongue? Is Bain telling us that all airliners are rigged with explosives that can be remotely detonated? For what possible purpose?

After that, the balance of the Infowars article is about a plan for remote-controlled systems through which people on the ground could take over a hijacked plane. I predict that soon the twoofers are going to tell us that the conspirators will take over a non-hijacked plane in flight and then fly it somewhere and blow it to smithereens with the door actuators.

It could be total fiction, and I know nothing of planes, but a wild stab would be that there is an emergency mechanism that "Blows the doors open" in case they are jammed.

Just a thought.

Hello Stephen:

Re: Illegal modifications to Boeing aircraft

Here are two articles showing that Boeing has installed explosives behind the doors of all of its passenger aircraft and missile gyroscopes ('QRS11') in a number of flight boxes thereby allowing the illegally-modifed planes to be flown as a remotely-operated vehicles ('ROV') with a payload of incendiary cluster bombs as evidenced by bogus 'al-Qaeda' attacks during the 9/11 war games.

A former safety officer in the oil industry and an expert in the handling of improvised explosive devices, I believe that the airline industry must ground all Boeing planes and strip out the illegal modifications before its fiduciaries can guarantee the safety of the crews and the passengers.

"Anti-terrorism auto-land system. On this side of the Atlantic, aircraft manufacturer Boeing has received a patent for a system that, once activated, removes all control from pilots and automatically returns a commercial airplane to a predetermined landing location. The uninterruptible autopilot would be activated either by pilots, by onboard sensors, or remotely by radio or satellite links, if terrorists attempt to gain control of the flight deck. Once the cockpit door is unlocked, for any reason, Boeing says “the chances of safely bringing the vehicle to a stop where authorities can help resolve the threat onboard the vehicle greatly decreases.” Assuming the sanctity of the cockpit is breached, the system could include manual switches for pilots to hit, or a remote link whereby airline or government officials at ground facilities would monitor the aircraft and command the automatic control mode (see box below). Had such a system been installed on the 9/11 aircraft, the terrorists might have been able to kill the pilots, but the aircraft would not have been used for attacking the twin towers of the World Trade Center, or to hit the Pentagon. The fourth airplane that crashed into a field also would have been recovered to a safe landing site under the concept envisioned by Boeing."

Explosives and missile gyroscopes ('QRS11') illegally-installed in Boeing Commercial Aircraft, "We were forced to recompete the C-130 AMP [Avionics Modernization Program] program and the small-diameter bomb .. These are the federal prisoner numbers for Mike Sears and Darleen Druyun. Prisoner 70040, Mike Sears, pled guilty to one felony count of aiding and abetting a violation of the conflict-of-interest laws. He served four months in the federal correctional center in Oxford, Wis .. Prisoner 47614, Darleen Druyun. Darleen pled guilty to one felony count of violation of the conflict-of-interest laws. She served nine months at the federal correctional center here in Marianna, Fla. She was released Sept. 30. One of the reasons that Darleen got a stronger sentence was that she lied to the prosecutors throughout the process .. But there are some within the prosecutors' offices that believe that Boeing is rotten to the core. They talk to us about pervasive misconduct and they describe it in geographic terms of spanning Cape Canaveral to Huntington Beach, to Orlando, to St. Louis to Chicago .. The U.S. attorney in Los Angeles is looking at indicting Boeing for violations of the Economic Espionage Act, the Procurement Integrity Act, the False Claims Act and the Major Frauds Act. The U.S. attorney in Alexandria, Va., is looking at indicting us for violation of the conflict-of-interest laws. And both are looking to throw in a few conspiracy and aiding-and-abetting charges for good measure .. When we first met with the Department of Justice to see if we could resolve this, it's their view Boeing's actions have tainted the EELV contract, the NASA 19-pack contract [a 2002 contract for up to 19 Delta II rocket launches], and 27 Darleen Druyun-related contracts. Their estimate of damage is $5 billion to $10 billion .. We can get re-suspended or all of IDS (Integrated Defense Systems) can be debarred .. We can lose our security clearances. And one nasty little thing is that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which has an almost explicit prohibition on possessing explosives. For those of you who are at BCA [Boeing Commercial Airplanes], you might remember that every single door on an airplane has actuators that are triggered by explosives .. These are our five biggest export problems, and I think you can see every heritage company and every business unit represented here .. We have not resolved QRS-11 [a gyrochip Boeing exported [to Communist China] inside some of its commercial jets without an export license between 2000 and 2003], which is a BCA issue. But the other four, we have paid a total of $50 million in penalties, we've had three consent decrees and several special compliance officers. It's also affected the way we do business, because we've had to go the extra mile .. The State Department's view of Boeing is we just don't get it. There are too many violations, and as a result it's probably their intention to hammer us on QRS-11."

Just another case of where alex jones' lackeys can't even do at the most the minimum research into their articles or on any claims. The "explosives" aren't explosives in any sense that we are accustomed to (ie TNT, C4, etc); but a system that uses pressurized fluid to help open a door in the case of an emergency.


Eghad. Im not even in the airline industry, but I saw a demonstration of this door because of my friend's training as a Fire Fighter and they did an exercise on how to evacuate survivors of a plane crash and to put out a fire aboard a landed plane.

Explosive bolts should be installed - I'm missing any trooofer implication in this. For emergency situations (bent frame, etc.) makes sense.
 
Next they'll be complaining that the explosives that set off your car's air bag can be used as a car bomb. :rolleyes: Have they never heard of explosive bolts? (then remembers the woo that claims they'd have had to unbolt the Apollo LM ascent and descent stages before lift off.....)
 
[OT]
In the Caracas airport ([SIZE=-1]Maiquetia[/SIZE]) in 1995, an American Airlines pilot noted my boredom and consternation at our delay from the Venezuelan air-traffic-controller strike du juor . To pass the time in idle conversation with an imminent passenger, he patted his satchel, looked me in the eye, and told me matter-of-factly that it contained a powerful bomb that he would carry aboard our plane.

Predictably, I glared at him in wide-eyed surprise; not because I thought he really had a bomb, but because I was amazed that a professional pilot would so openly make such a comment in an airport. In retrospect, this may explain why he was assigned the route between Miami and Caracas instead of, say, LA and Honolulu.

"No, really, it's a great idea!" he explained. "Think about it. What are the odds that somebody will bring a bomb on your plane? One in a million, maybe? So, the chance of having *two* bombs on that same plame must be one in a million million, really negligible, right? So we're safe, because I brought one and I'm not gonna set it off."

More desperation from the twoofers.

I'm guessing this means the revolution has been delayed until further notice.

That's frikken hilarious.

So do you think he really had a bomb? :p

I'm just about to email infowars about this scoop!

Apparently, these things are fitted to a lot of cars!!!!!!!!!! They are fed by an an explosive water fluid thing that can be PURPOSEFULLY SET ON FIRE causing an EXPLOSION.

AND GUESS WHO DRIVE CARS? JEWS!

I could say that "everytime I think I've seen..." blah blah blah, but frankly, nothing really surprises me from Infowars or PP. They're still saying the FDNY is guilty of manslaughter, for instance.
