Do you always trust what an internet video says without reading the comments or doing research? It's completely wrong. It was flown by a pilot and there were 130 passengers.

The video claims it was flown by computer but it's only fly by wire (aka, the pilot controls are not physically connected to the control surfaces) much like many modern vehicles are.
