Dramatic new suggestions have emerged that powerful radio signals from a naval communications base caused a Qantas jet to plunge 650ft in seconds last week.
Investigators have already established that a computer on the Airbus A330-300 sent wrong information to the autopilot, resulting in the pilots losing control, but just what caused that glitch has remained a mystery.
Checks have been made on the type of laptop computers passengers were using - and even electronic games have come under survey - but the basic cause of the problem that sent the plane rising and then falling has not been found.
