There was another post complaining about hundreds of men just shuffling around the crash site, blocking ambulances.

Indians really are NPCs.

Hey this happens in africa all the time and it literally has ruined several high profile crash scenes due to spectators looting the aircraft for valuable components and even black boxes before investigators could secure the site, often they even repurposed such wreckage in construction or put it up as a "heirloom" of sorts.

Looking at the cctv there’s a ‘vortex’ of dust under the left wing that’s big and less under the right, but I guess that’s as likely to mean there’s more crap in the field after the runway as it is one engine was off. It just looks like they never had the speed or lift and went for it anyway.
Maybe they got to a certain point and just could t abort it? It’s horrible thinking about this sort of stuff if you fly

Yea, that's just likely dirt differences.
You can almost always abort it just won't be pretty. If you have insufficient performance then you should know before V1. But if, for instance, you have a catastrophic engine failure that also damaged the wing and can no longer keep the plane straight, then, guess what, you're aborting anyway. Sure you're going to take out some lights, and a fence or two but the goal is simply to slide off the end of the runway at the minimum possible speed. And hope everything goes as well as can be expected.

A lot of the time, the pilots simply don't have enough information to make the correct call.

Take the famous case of AA191

The flight was actually recoverable if they had kept their speed, but the pilots couldn't have known the entire engine ripped off, drained the entire hydraulic fluid system in the wing, and caused the slats to move to the wrong position.

So a poojeet pilot doesn't understand what flaps are or how they work, takes off without them in a heavy jet on a hot day, get's redeemed by the lift-drag equation, and as a result my disembodied head gets gawked at and kicked around like a cricket ball by the jeet pedestrians that happen to be in the general area of the crash site.

As if I didn't need more reasons to never set foot in India. I'm surprised that group of young Indian men didn't try to gang rape the headless corpse.

"Samir, you are breaking the plane!"

Surprised it wasn't a 737. The 787 is supposed to be Boeing's flagship top of the line model so it is surprising to see that crash for the first time. The 737 family is old and is pretty much Boeing's budget money maker plane. Boeing shits out 737s more than any other model currently. The newer built 737 Max's are normally the problem planes with lots of incidents.

Sidenote/brief power level but if you have the ability to tour the Boeing factory in Washington it's worth it. Just the building alone is interesting just from the sheer scale. I think if I remember correctly but it's the largest building in the world. Saw 737s and 787s being build and the funny thing with 787s is that without the jet engines on the wings they would tip over onto the tail because the balance of weight is too far back without the engines so before the mount the engines they put these massive weights where the engines would be.

Also India/China/most third world shit holes most people just stand around doing fuck all during disasters/accidents. Idk why they do it, theirs minds just go blank. They are more likely to try and steal and loot from the bodies or homes that help. My buddy went to China and witnessed and car flip over and literally no one did anything, they didn't even call for help, my buddy was the only one who tried but his guide told him not to help because good Samaritans apparently are somehow financially responsible for the person the help so that's one of the reasons why no one helps.

Socialisim in practice legally. Even if some retard jumps into a highway and runs into your car from behind, you're still responsible because the local gov doesnt want to deal with it so they slap you with a fine to pay the family anyways.

Also the line of thought from the judges "Well if you werent responsible for shit then why are you helping"?
