Aviation expert claims plane was pulled down by hackers

Matt Andersson, the president of Chicago-based Indigo Aerospace claims that the crashed Germanwings aircraft was actually pulled down by hackers.

Techworm reports that Andersson  said “While assertions that the aircraft accelerated in its final descent may well be accurate, It could be from any number of causes, including external electronic hacking into the aircraft’s control and navigation systems through malware or electromagnetic interception.”

He also added that military and head-of-state aircraft are generally installed with specific shielding and additional active protective measures which Civilian aircraft do not have, to forestall such incidents.
