It is completely "fly-by-wire";no rudder, no stick, no pedals. You
use a video game controller to fly the thing.
It does have trimmers that can be used in an emergency, according to
an FAA spokesperson.
I wonder how much they practice actually flying with these trimmers...
The plane appears to have exploded.
Not necessarily, A plane that falls from its cruise altitude virtually
disintegrates on impact.
The debris is scattered over 40 miles of ocean. The cabin lost pressure
at the same time the electrical system failed.
