A possibility from the sly vitdoctor (on YAHOO! board)

Just one possible short trigger.

News Corp. is sitting on tons of cash. Just look it up in the Yahoo PROFILE for News corp. Well, they're partners in IFN. They would like to see it get a chance. In order to do so, they prepay for the minutes needed to ensure and insure that Globalstar is still around come March 1st, 2001. It seems pretty obvious to me. Anyone else care to comment?

Mr. Adrenaline, forgive my ignorance if this is totally off, but aren't all those various forms of avionics somewhat shielded from extraneous signals? And don't they emit some themselves?

I can envision lots of instances where 747's would be continuously or intermittently exposed to all sorts of signals, across the spectrum, which can't be controlled or prevented -- ranging from a ground crew's walkie talkies while the plane is leaving the gate to an F117 stealth near-miss high in the skies. Radar. TV and radio stations. Cell towers. Police transceivers. Ham radio. etc. etc. Have all these circumstances been tested and proven 100%? Do the 747's fuel gauges act up under any of these circumstances, or is this really just a red herring? Inquiring minds want to know.
