A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. |
One button? I don't know something sounds a little strange if i was the FAA and FBI i would have to take a closer look at this one, she nearly killed 15 people including herself. Either that or the safety procedures of parked airplanes need to be revamped. |

Bullets - my only weakness! How did you know? |
1 button... to taxi it out on the run way and start an automated lift off? Sorry, but I call bullshit. Engineers designing airplanes can't be that fucking stupid. |

Have a look at what one button in a Kamov can do.
That stuff isn't stupid it's dead smart. |

Believe it or not, starting an aircraft is as easy or easier than starting a car. Back when I first got in the security business I used to pull a detail at a local private airstrip and got to get up close to plenty of small aircraft including commuter craft like in the article. Hit a switch and fire it up. Some have a toggle style which are relatively easy to accidentally start by bumping, compared to a push button style which has to be held down for a amount of time. |

So basically, it's harder to fly a plane in a video game than it is in real life.
Cool. |

| There's something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be, desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety? |

If buying Marijuana supports terrorists, legalize it so we can buy American. |
There has to be more to this story. I bet more than 1 person gets fired over this. |
