Security camera footage accessed and verified by the Associated Press showed Air India flight 171 bound for London taking off and crashing into a medical college in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, killing more than 180 people in one of India's worst airline disasters in decades.
Why are you idiots even putting me in the position of defending Boeing lmao. Yes I’m aware of all the problems the Dreamliner had, alleged and in practical use. But none of them can explain what happened to the Air India flight.
The problems Barnett brought to attention don’t give you a double engine rollback immediately after rotation.
No.
Faults often don’t get detected early,need certain circumstances (swiss cheese model) or quite simply, are caused by replacement parts.
There is a long chain of things that could fall into Boeing responsibility - and even if it doesn’t the market does not always react reasonably.
Dude the plane is 13 years old. If there was a mechanical problem with the plane its on Air India, and I say that as a certified Airbus fanboy.
John Barnett said that the corner cutting during construction would culminate in a crash after 10 to 12 years.
