From what I understand, Fly-by-wire is a closed shell, meaning nobody without direct access to it's components can hack it.

aren't certain jets remote controllable [as an anti-hijacking system]?
No transport category airplanes are remote controllable.
keep believing that Fly-by-wire and remote hijack recovery does not exist or that it ain't hackable
To give you an analogy, it would be like trying to hack a computer that's not on the internet or on a network. Just a single lone computer all by itself. You can't hack it without actually accessing the physical computer. Same deal here with fly-by-wire.

In reading about the co-pilot, suicide and mental illness
was NOT what came to mind.
It sounded more like the repeating of a mantra "must destroy the plane",
a sort of trigger, put in by hypnosis,
a deep and very professionally done, drug induced hypnosis,
one that the co-pilot himself would be unaware of
on a conscious level.
It did not sound at all like suicidal intention to me.
This would explain the deep regular breathing.
It also occurred after the pilot went over the upcoming
landing procedures with the co-pilot
which could have triggered
a deep hypnotic trigger event.
what?
do you just make stuff up as you go along?
Heh, this is a conspiracy site isn't it?
Well, I was throwing out a conspiracy.
Never claimed it was more than that, a hypothetical conspiracy theory.
Sounds as plausible as any conspiracy theory I have heard.
Why do you think it is implausible?
Improbable I understand, implausible, not really.
well it helps if theories have some actual facts to back them up, not just bizarre conjecture

Which has nothing to do with an aircraft computer system. The fight control system is a separate system that doesn't have external access without being plugged into the system.

According to Wiki the Captains full name is Patrick Sondenheimer
Son den Heim can be roughly translated to Man of the house

Thank you, I didn't check Wikipedia. But in the newspapers they keep on saying the co-pilot's name but never the pilot and that's strange.

I'd like to see what he was actually doing. They were at cruising altitude and on autopilot presumably. Maybe he had on head phones, was listening to loud music and dozing?
The reason I say that is the plane made a normal decent, not a crash dive. If dude was suicidal why didn't he put the plane into a vertical nose dive and get to the ground as quick as possible?
