Air India crash

[Massive Attack]

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/ ... st-updates

Perfect weather conditions, immaculate Boeing safety record on a newer plane, flight from India to London. Possible Terrorist attack or human error?

[Nurse Ratched]

Indians are a different breed.  I've just seen footage of a group of them gathered around the crash zone taking selfies with a severed head on the ground, all smiling (not the severed head - I couldn't see the face).

You have to take images like that with a pinch of salt these days. Lots of fakery, etc. I'd like to think it isn't genuine. 

[Nurse Ratched]

You can have a stab at who's laughing at all those that lost their lives..

Alans Snackbar religion of peace.

Is this legit??

[Lee Trundle]

I'm sure something is being lost in translation somewhere, as the report I saw suggested he jumped from the plane.

Not sure a tuck and roll at possibly 200mph is survivable.

Strange how it didn't lift which indicates that maybe there was a bird strike on both engines.

That guy who survived should buy a lottery ticket.

11A is going to start costing more.....

BTW

 There’s 1,200 787s and this is the first accident in 14 years of service.

1 survivor.  A British/Indian guy who was sat in 11A.

Unbreakable?

Amazing

cսnt flaps?

everyone dies. Just how and where. 

wow deep, yeah can I choose in my sleep over an air disaster please

Assuming you have no memory after death does it matter? 

[Lee Trundle]

I saw the tail section was wedged into a building, so at least they would have recovered the boxes straight away. Shouldn't take long to identify the cause.

If you were going to choose a building to crash into, it would be a building full of doctors like they did.  Just not at that speed.

[Mike Oxsaw]

From the video, I suspect a total power failure. The 787 should be able to fly on one engine once airborne, albeit making it a bit difficult to keep in a straight line. Then it would be a case of circling to dump enough fuel to be then able to land safely

Couldn't see any suggestion of a bird strike and a terrorist attack would require someone with a pretty sophisticated knowledge of a 787's systems.

Me? I'm nailing the blame on some selfish cսnt refusing to turn their smartphone off  and making a call during take-off.

[Far Cough UKunt]

In that case I'm pretty sure that an up to date airplane like a Boeing 787 will sound all kinds of alarms if they attempt to take off with incorrectly set flaps? Happy to be corrected on that though.

 

[On The Ball]

Expert opinion based on the video of it going down - apparently you can't see them which means they were wrong. BBC have also had someone on that said that it the flaps are hard to see on the 787, so it might not be correct.

[Far Cough UKunt]

How do they know that the flap settings weren't correct?

[On The Ball]

Got to love India.

"Everybody dead?"
"Yep"
"Let's reopen then!"

[violator]

Surely in this day and age they wouldn't have taken off without the correct flap settings, unless there was a total engine failure.

didn't look like anything terror related, it just slowly lost height with it's nose up so looks like a stall or loss of power
