icon GPS Failure


ZetaTalk warned that satellites guiding planes, known as GPS would fail to give accurate directions, adding to the number of Small Plane Crashes.

Beyond these problems, airplanes use satellites to guide them, magnetic orientation to guide them, and these likewise will either fail on occasion or given invalid readings.

What would occur if a small plane were informed, by GPS, that their location was not amidst hills, but in the open? Beyond confused guidance systems, small planes lack the ability to recover from electromagnetic surges.

On the Oct 27, 2004 Lou Gentile show this prediction came under ridicule, but by the Dec 23, 2004 Lou Gentile show the evidence had already piled in, and later, on Dec 24, 2004 a GPS Admission!
