Yet another aircraft problem

The Australian: Global alert after jet out of control:

"An Australian Transport Safety Bureau report released yesterday reveals the pilot in command disconnected the autopilot and lowered the plane's nose to prevent the stall, but the aircraft's automatic throttle responded by increasing the power. The pilot countered by pushing the thrust levers to the idle position but the aircraft pitched up again and climbed 2000ft."

I tell you what, that pilot was such a clear headed, sensible problem solver. Had he panciked or lost condfidence, the people would be dead. This pilot has such extra ordinary coping skills and such a rational brain. Their have been several pilots lately whose cool, clear headed thinking has saved the lives of their passengers. And then there have been some very quick thinking, active locals who have managed to save the lives of passengers too. But how come, this year, we have aircraft glytch after aircraft disaster, after aircraft problem. This year it is going on and on and on. Why would the computers suddenly play up on a Boeing 777?

The pilot ended up manually taking control of the plane and landed it safely. It must have been a horrifying experience...as all these plane things have been. Why all this plane crap in the year 2005?? All explained away in the end, but the rate at which these things are occurring in our flying machines is highly irregular, don't you think?
