You have no idea what you are talking abut. Speaking as a fromer B52 pilot. Ron

They have oxygen masks. These are much better than ones that passengers get, with goggles. They protect the eyes in the event of fire or a broken window, and they have built-in microphones. The airplane flew for hours after the IFF was turned off and it deviated from course. They had plenty of time to contact flight control. When the US Airways flight from LaGuardia was disabled and had to land in the Hudson, the pilot and copilot were very busy and had only a few minutes to deal with the problem, but they talked to flight control. I do not think the facts fit this scenario at all. I am no expert in aviation, but this seems very far fetched. - Jed
