Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The Millennium Project

Book Review: Entirely Possible
Summary: 5 Stars

It is 100% possible to take over the flight control computers of the 747, 757 and 767 if you have the right access codes and op frequency. The computers can also lock out radio communications including IFF transponders. Under these circumstances the pilots would be completely powerless, able only to look out of the window to see where they were being taken.

In the mid-nineties Lufthansa, appreciating the potentially catastrophic effect of "boffins" hijacking their Jumbos by remote control, and assisted by the Luftwaffe, stripped out the American computers and replaced them with classified German equipment. At the time I thought Lufthansa's investment extravagant and slightly paranoid. Now as I look at the video of those planes crashing into the World Trade Center, I marvel at the foresight of a few clever Germans.

I suggest you read The Millennium Project. Believe me when I say that what the author writes about is entirely possible, and far more beyond that. Think of radio controlled model planes and you might get close to the nature of the technology used.

Summary of The Millennium Project

If his plan succeeds, the world's financial systems will be left in ruins. And worse, an accidental shutdown of the U.S. nuclear arsenal and nuclear reactors will unleash an ecological catastrophe of global proportions. With the seconds ticking away, Washington throws all of its resources into a desperate battle to save the country -- and the world -- from The Millennium Project.
