Serious aeroplane crash

[klondike]

Just looking at the flight path in that suggests no power although no lift would fit too. It's why both engines should stop that is the big mystery. On the loss of fuel idea doesn't the fuel come from wing tanks and wouldn't each have its own? This is plain speculation as I have no idea. Maybe hydraulic failure left the landing gear down and the flaps insufficiently extended. Could speculate forever just from videos.

I saw another one still speculating on flap settings but found that RAT suggestion more convincing.

Here was another accident in the making -



An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner had to return to Hong Kong mid-flight after a suspected technical issue.

The passenger jet - the same type as the aircraft involved in last week's tragedy in Ahmedabad - was bound for New Delhi but turned back after the pilot raised suspected an issue, an Air India spokesperson told Sky News.
It's not yet known what the suspected technical issue flagged by the pilot.

From bits I've seen the aircraft type has an excellent safety record. I wouldn't  bet on anything but would suspect either a human error or deliberate act over a systems problem but of course there is always a first for every aircraft. Take off and landing are always the danger times as there is so little time to correct a problem.

Then there's the Indian tanker on fire at sea, plus 3 oil tanker trucks were on fire next to Indian Oil's Amausi bottling plant.  These events could be coincidence of course.

I sometimes wonder if I'm living in a simulation. One that was written by a ten year old still learning...
