RE:"That one was bizarre too. Everyone was dead as it flew nearly 3/4 of the way across the country on auto pilot"

I suspect the flight attendants on the plane or anyone else for that matter knew how to disengage the autopilot...hard to believe no one knew how to pull power and push the nose down.


I just read htat they just figured out who were the two people the F-16 pilots saw in the cockpit. Both were flight attendants but one of them, in reality, is a pilot. He was working as a flight attendant until he got a job with an airline as a pilot. He wasn't supposed to be on that flight but filled in at the last minute. Why they couldn't keep the plane from crashing is beyond me. And did no one have a cell phone to call out and say there was a problem. In addition, at one point, the plane started doing right hand turns as a sign of distress......who made that happen? And how come the co pilot was unconscious but the two flight attendants were okay? And where was the pilot......they still haven't found his body? This is one strange crash.
