The Germanwings crash in the french alps smelled a bit fishy too.

A friend of mine is an aircraft engineer. He told me some facts about the new 787 Dreamliner that even most pilots have no clue of. It is possible to gain access to every system on the plane by connecting to the on board wifi (of course you'll need the proper password and software). You have absolute control over the whole airplane and everything you do will override the pilots actions! If this happens the pilots are just as much passenger as the rest of the people aboard! When he told this to some pilots they were utterly shocked. Also there are cameras hidden everywhere so that in a highjacking scenario the authorities can look what's going on inside the plane.
