If these planes are capable of being controlled remotely, why hasn't anyone asked why the planes weren't landed safely by remote control? Surely if a plane could be controlled remotely it would be common knowledge among the pilots, engineers, airline executives. Surely a few of them would ask this very question.
Also, the section on cellphones not being able to work on a flying plane are interesting. There are many articles debating the saftey of cell phones on airliners, however aside from the 9/11 conspiracy sites, I haven't found one that says it isn't possible. By the same token, most of the articles don't explicitly say the cell phones will work at 500mph but they certainly imply it. Surely, there would be anecdotal evidence about cellphones not working. Surely people wouldn't want to lift the ban on using cellphones on planes if they didn't work.
