Mobile Phone Sends Jet Out Of Control
This happened in April, but reported in todays Sunday Mirror
Embraer 145 on approach to Manchester sent out of control when woman switched on her mobile phone
Aircraft "careered across the sky" as "instrument dials and electronic systems seized up". Pilot notified crew and passengers to prepare for emergency landing by opening the cockpit door, at which time he saw the said stupid bint on her phone, told her to turn it off, and the problems immediately went away
I can reproduce the article if needed, but its the standard article with gratuitous use of the phrases "disaster!" "lost control!" "avoiding action!" "crash moments away!"
Anyone know any more? feel free to delete/point me in the right direction if its been discussed before, couldnt find anything via search
