Egypt: Report Accuses Israel of Causing Recent Plane Crash Near Sharm Al-Shaykh

[Unattributed article: "Israel Might Be Responsible for Sharm al-Shaykh Plane Crash"]
[FBIS Translated Text]
The likelihood that Israel was involved in the crash of an Egyptian airliner owned by Flash Airlines off the coast of Sharm al-Shaykh on 3 January through electronically jamming the aircraft's systems has increased. The analysis of the aircraft's black box indicates that the change in the plane's course, which led to the crash, occurred only four seconds after the autopilot was engaged. This means that switching the plane's controls to the autopilot device was the direct cause of the crash.
Israel has the technology and special equipment needed to manipulate the autopilot system. Technical sources specializing in the field of aviation indicate that Israel has invented a special system which could be planted in the autopilot program to enable parties on the ground to control the aircraft through a remote control device. According to those sources, the above-mentioned system could have been planted in the Boeing jet when it was being inspected and maintained in Norway immediately before the ill-fated flight. They added that the airliner was close enough to Israeli bases to allow the manipulation of the autopilot device from the ground. According to specialists, this is the most likely cause of the crash.

Or, as someone else speculated, may be the passengers and crew were incapacitated and the planes were flown remotely.

As far as this part goes, how would they have been incapacitated? Gas perhaps? If so, how long would that take to install and has anyone ever checked on the history of that plane to see if it was out of action for any period of time?
Pilots' accounts point to cabin pressure
The Air Force used fighter jets to shadow the doomed plane across the deep South and Midwest: They reported frost on the windows, indicating the cabin lost pressure sometime during the flight.
Pilots said when they flew alongside and looked inside the aircraft, the people inside appeared to be slumped over and incapacitated, CNN's Carl Rochelle reported.
Asked whether depressurization may have contributed to the crash, Francis said he would not speculate: "We'll tell you factual stuff as soon as we figure it out."
Air Force Capt. Chris Hamilton said there was nothing he could do when his F-16 caught up with the Learjet over Memphis, Tennessee.

Thank-you.
Do you have any ideas on how this could be done by remote? Or would something need to be smuggled aboard to explode for example?

The FACT that not ONE of EIGHT pilots were able to key the mike and announce an assault on the cockpits or a highjacking attempt means that the planes were taken REMOTELY. There is NO OTHER way to explain the instantaneous takeovers of all four planes. The brief transmission about ' Keep your seats, we have bombs " was part of the games..part of the plan..that transmission was NOT from Flt. 93.

Well, seeing that it is an ' inside job ' pretty much says it all: Obviously they had inside help in puling it off. The former Pentagon comptroller, Dov Zakheim, an ardent Neocon and dual Israeli citizenship who was responsible for the 2.3 trillion dollars said missing on 9-10-01 and forgotten about the next day when the plan went off.
Zakheim was also the head of the company ( Israeli of course ) that owned and operated the remote control systems, called Home Run in at least one form, and these systems could have been sold or given to anyone by simply putting the software in a pocket. No mystery as to how they got the planes to their destinations perfectly anmd how the systems ( cockpits ) were taken instantly as well. The flip of a switch.
Two of the aircraft exceeded their software limits on 9/11. The Boeing 757 and 767 are equipped with fully autonomous flight capability, they are the only two Boeing commuter aircraft capable of fully autonomous flight. They can be programmed to take off, fly to a destination and land, completely without a pilot at the controls. They are intelligent planes, and have software limits pre set so that pilot error cannot cause passenger injury. Though they are physically capable of high g maneuvers, the software in their flight control systems prevents high g maneuvers from being performed via the cockpit controls. They are limited to approximately 1.5 g's, I repeat, one and one half g's. This is so that a pilot mistake cannot end up breaking grandma's neck. No matter what the pilot wants, he cannot override this feature.

I got this from a yahoo answers post, is it true that no one can over-ride the cockpit because of the software. So if this is true then how did the planes crash when it was taken over my a remote control.
