I'm going to muse in conspiracy because inexperienced pilots is way too boring.
I'm thinking US sub, because it would be easy to experiment with tractor beam tech on a foreign flight than a plane full of Americans.
The mission could of been to effect the aircraft in such a way to have it retry for another landing- that would of been enough to call it a success.
Some things can go wrong (*cough 9/11 hijacker entrapment *cough) or go as planned.
That wouldn't seem enough to experiment with such technology, I would say there are other motives, like maybe some high profile target on the plane, or some kind of political move by China and SK towards North Korea that upset the US.
I can hear him now "This is the North Korean Spy List, if you let one more fucking north korean spy sneak into your county and board one of your planes I will bring the plane down."
haha

They would need a telecommunications system on board (cargo) that would be able to be hacked remotely (China or NK).
10hrs is a lot of time.

Look at this kid. lol
Going with a movie angle, what if he's a kid genius and hacked into the aircraft using some gear he devised after reading ARS technica.

Re: Asiana crash 7.6.2013
If it was traveling slower than recommended speed, can that be hacked in any way? Can the instruments be tricked to display a faster speed than the actual speed of the plane?
Re: Asiana crash 7.6.2013
I would imagine calibrations could be tinkered with.
Remember the 'hack a plane with an cell phone'. Anyway, I don't see Chinese and Koreans doing the suicide path.

From NTSB
The crew had flown in on a 17-mile straight approach, heading to San Francisco from the air over Sacramento.
Radar data shows "no abnormally steep descent curve" in what has been reviewed.
Evaluations show "that both of the engines were producing power" when the craft hit the ground.
The No. 2 engine showed "evidence of high rotation" at the point of impact.
Lower portion of the tail cone is in the rocks at the sea wall before the runway.
Debris from the sea wall was found "several hundred feet" up the runway.
The impact occurred about 82 seconds after autopilot was disabled.
At 200 feet, the plane's airspeed was approximately 118 knots.
Three seconds before impact, the craft's speed was 103 knots — the lowest measured, and far below the target speed of 137 knots.
When it struck, it had accelerated to 106 knots.
The call to abort the landing and go around again, made seconds before the crash, is heard in the cockpit, but it wasn't made to the control tower.
Investigators are looking into reports that at least one emergency ramp may have deployed inside the aircraft.
Fuel samples have been taken for testing.
Flight and data recorders will be transcribed and reviewed for both verbal statements, as well as sounds made by the aircraft.
There is a mix of English and Korean spoken on the voice recorders.
"There are 1,400 different parameters that are measured" by the flight data recorder.
The plane involved had not been involved in previous problems or incidents.
