Many killed' as Air India plane with 242 on board crashes near India's Ahmedabad airport

[5n0man]

Good analysis of what may have happened
Or is he saying it was human error
I think the plane stalled
Someone said that the survivor said he heard a loud bang after takeoff

What he's saying is that the copilot may have retracted the flaps instead of the landing gear.

Flaps and slats rotate at an angle create more surface area on the wings to help create lift at low speed, They're mandatory for take off.

Landing gear creates drag so they gotta be retracted immediately after takeoff. Landing gears being out with flaps retracted at low speed is a combination that will cause a stall. During takeoff you can see they never retracted the gear after takeoff.



The reason he believes that's more likely than an engine failure is because planes can fly with only one engine, and it's extremely rare for both to fail at the same time.

Man if I died cause the co pilot pulled the flaps instead of the landing gear Id kill someone

When you watch enough of these you realize that 90 percent of plane crashes throughout history were due to retards in the cockpit.

I know that besides takeoff and landing most of the flight is fairly automated, wondering how far off we are from just letting computers take the reigns in 99.9% of flight scenarios

I'm hardly an Indian sympathizer, trust me theyve invaded my area, but this was uncalled for breh

Same.

I went to a halal supermarket once by myself, they turned off the music and a person started talking. "Death to the infidels" I heard numerous times. fukk ass Hindus called me an infidel for shopping at they supermarket

be fukking serious. making up fictitious situations to feel uncomfortable in just like a CAC.

Shouldn't that ish be overridden if it happens

Every Pilot that's spoke on this says this one of the best planes ever built.

You're really that stupid? Perhaps you should go outside sometime. No life experience is gained living on your computer, y'all start thinking everything is fake.


Computer nerds don't need to be talking to me, I'm a superhero compared to you


Make sure u pay your rent


Don't forget to clock in

Yeah dual engine failures are very rare. Realistic reasons for one occurring:

* contaminated fuel - but no other planes at that airport had the same issue

* bird strike - no birds seen in the takeoff/crash video

* pilot error - they may have pulled flaps instead of the gear on accident -> loss of lift made them think they lost their engines -> they tried cycling power to them causing more loss of lift in the brief window they had
