Where's the Remote Control?

Some writers have claimed that the 9/11 hijacked airplanes were flown by remote control. So far, nothing has convinced me that the airplanes were controlled remotely.

However, as demonstrated below, the technology did in fact exist to control commercial airplanes by remote control as of September 11, 2001:

"Most modern aircraft have some form of autopilot that could be re-programmed to ignore commands from a hijacker and instead take direction from the ground (http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1280)". See also this article, in which the former head of British Airways "suggested . . . that aircraft could be commandeered from the ground and controlled remotely in the event of a hijack (http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=787987)."

Indeed, Boeing states of its 757-200 (the type of airplane which slammed into the Pentagon), "A fully integrated flight management computer system (FMCS) provides for automatic guidance and control of the 757-200 from immediately after takeoff to final approach and landing (http://www.boeing.com/commercial/757family/200back/back4.html)."

In fact, Before 9/11, remote-controlled planes could fly up to 8600 miles (http://web.archive.org/web/20010707000937/http://itn.co.uk/news/20010424/world/05robotplane.shtm) (from the April 24, 2001 edition of Britain's International Television News)

Interestingly, Fox TV ran a fictional drama 6 months before 9/11, in which the U.S. government intended to fly a plane into the World Trade Center via remote control and blame it on terrorists (http://www.oilempire.us/remote.html#lonegunmen).

So it is beyond doubt that the hijacked planes could have been controlled remotely. Were they? I am still waiting for convincing proof.
