Plane crash in India, 290 confirmed dead, only one survivor

[Jasper]

I will admit that when I first saw the plane rising, and then slowly elevating back down to the ground, my immediate thought was Axe, and the whole scenario of someone as heavy as Axe being on the plane. But I purposefully did not mention it because I'm making an effort not to make fun of Axe potentially being obese.

This survivor was my brother....

He told me before take off that a fat latino was on the plane ... and it was listing ...

Brother is ok , bought Lottery ticket and won 50 bucks as usual.

He said he felt nothing when Latino was dead.

I love his videos.

Yep. Saw that one earlier. Very precise and concise in his explanation. Could very well have been pilot error where the flaps were confused for the landing gear. I say it was total power loss.

Pilot final words was plane was losing power during his mayday

yeah there;s something called survivor's guilt

I know that's a thing but never quite understood it if he's in no way shape or form at fault. I could see how that would happen if say you're driving and you get in an accident and everyone in your car dies but in this instance, why would you feel any guilt? Not asking you, just a rhetorical question...

Plot twist...dude detonated a bomb inside and had a mini parachute with him...

Imagine him getting into an argument with his dad someday and the father saying, the wrong son died on that plane... yikes.

Jesus, can Air India be any less professional? Yeah, not planning on any vacays to India, not now and not ever...

All joking aside, RIP

Captain Steeeve changed his theory after getting ahold of a new clearer video of the crash showing the RAT deploying. RAT (Ram Air Turbine) will automatically deploy if the plane experiences a major electrical failure, hydraulic failure or dual engine failure. The RAT deploying also lines up with the only survivor on the plane hearing a loud bang and the lights flickering. The plane lost power and the RAT took over to provide power and hydraulics, but the RAT is design to help a plane find a landing spot when losing power at cruising altitude. Not 500 feet in the air.

The stories of the people who perished is downright sad. The pilot cared for his dad. Wasn’t married. He planned on retiring soon to take care of his father full time. A passenger was traveling home after honoring his wife’s wishes to spread her ashes. Gone. 2 kids are now without parents. Sheesh.

It's looking as though it was a suicide by one of the pilots.



Both engine fuel cutoff switches were manually shut off, which requires significant effort from the pilots due to safety reasons.

In the recording, one of the pilots asks the other pilot, "Why did you cut off?" With the other pilot denying it.

That’s a very interesting development. The biggest argument against it is if you were to crash the plane intentionally, I can’t imagine you’d try immediately after take off. You would do it mid air when the copilot’s left the cockpit.

I believe you can still lock the other pilot out completely like that Germanwings flight.

damn, don't they have mental health checks for pilots?
