Matt Wallace commented about it on X as well:

Is he saying a bit fell off? The initial blast is hidden behind a building, is it possible that bit was blown off by the blast wave before it’s visible ? It’s hard to see with the footage

 

[Made In Wales]

Is he saying a bit fell off?

He is.

It does look as if something fell away from the plane, but whether it did or it's an illusion or unrelated I don't know.

All sick jokes aside, it is a sad event.

I just hope it wasn't a staged WEF one.

 

[Turkey Beef]

Also, having a tail seat that puts you as far away from initial impact as possible also helps. Especially since depending on make and model? There's a lot of extra fuselage around you for things like the tail, stabilizer and on really old-school tri-jets? An entire engine and duct to sacrifice itself as a crumple zone.

Maybe both engines had a poo ingestion from a runway shitter. Runways don’t get a lot of love and that’s a lot of nice pavement not being pooped on.

How the Brazilians are capable of making good aircraft in such a shit hole country is beyond me.

The question you should be asking is: How Ameris and Euros are capable of making anything at all when all their infrastructure is falling to pieces, and they seem to care only with maxxing out on Fifth World importation harder than ever.

Also, fun coincidence: Nearly three years ago, the destination of the plane-shitter, London Gatwick Airport ran out of water for several days, and the toilets wouldn't work at all. Imagine the Jeetpocalypse that took place there.

Gear down, flaps up, that is the way I like to ACK

Always amazing when a single person survives something like that. I wonder how you handle that knowledge.

I'd probably get delusions of grandeur.

He appears to be the none curly haired one. Alongside his husband and that one other family is that 5 actual brits on the plane?

Alleged that there is current one crash survivor in serious (but able to talk) condition. 50-60 (medical students) Injured total rn and 202 recovered.

Lucky bastard needs to buy the lottery if true. Seat 11A is way up front so not sure how his ass survived. You'd think he be at the back but maybe the Jeets were all fucking sitting wrong.

So which one is it? They look totally different.

 

[MennilTossFlykune]

I miss the engineering driven Boeing that made safe, overbuilt aircraft which were capable of going above and beyond the design limits when called for.

He talked about British supremacy, jet propulsion and labor differential and how it was impossible for the present competitive American system to succeed because foreign airlines could supply services at the lower foreign labor rate in direct competition with us. And I told him I didn't agree. Furthermore, I didn't agree about England's technical supremacy over us. I said that the United States, in my opinion, had always led in commercial aviation and probably always would. I said that some foreign countries had exceeded us in flash performance of various military types, but that when it came to sound, safe, commercial aviation, this country had always led. And I felt it always would. And I felt that people might even be willing to pay a little premium to ride on a United States airline because I thought it would be safer and the public would appreciate that.

 

[Abowaffen]

Kiwifarms, you are complicit in this crash. AirIndia will not be tarnished by the likes of you and will come out of this stronger.

Well, when society values retarded celebrities more than hard-working 'poors', this is the result.

I know some people say fearing plane crashes is irrational when car accidents are more common. But car crashes don't kill hundreds of people with a 1% survival rate.

 

[booklover]

52 british on board

And one of them, who was of South Central Asian origin, literally walked away. He's the only known survivor on the plane; there have been other single-survivor crashes over the years, and they have all experienced terrible survivor's guilt.

It hit a medical school hostel full of students, so at least 50 fatalities on the ground as well.

 

[RodgerDodger]

As much as I dislike jeets, I can't imagine watching my brother getting shredded by a disintegrating aircraft while I get ejected with nary a wound.

This is why siblings fight to the death for the window seat.

Getting back to the holes in the Swiss Cheese.
- Enough people that professionally know what 787's look like taking off have confirmed that yes the flaps appear to be up wheels appear to be down. This is not a recipe for successfully defying gravity.
- 90%+ of these types of crash on takeoff incidents are pilot error, misconfiguratiin, or failure to de-ice the plane (does not apply here)
- as Mentour Pilot mentions, that screwy taxi down the runway then turn around to takeoff breaks the flow of the checklists. And increases the chances that something critical gets missed.
- The video from the guy on the previous flight leg showing how nothing on the plane was working right. Electrical problems? Maybe a breaker pulled? Could the configuration alarm have been disabled?
- 14 year safety record broken. No matter how much you idiot proof something, India will provide a bigger idiot.

 

[barrow greeter]

The videos I've seen look like they had incorrect configuration for takeoff and climb, incorrect thrust, incorrect flaps, incorrect control inputs and either didn't have the wherewithal to fix it in time once airborne or were distracted by something until it was too late, leading to what is essentially a controlled flight into terrain, either nearly the whole way or until seconds before impact when there was no chance the plane could react in time.

**The jokes write themselves: "fion" means anus in French slang.

And "Fiongal" means "white foreigner"* in Irish.

*Alright, only if translated completely literally. It really means "blond foreigner", IE, Scandinavian.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

No, if it was a stall you would have seen one side drop dramatically. It looks like the plane just ran out of energy to climb and slowly glided into the buildings. Apparently the mayday from the pilot said they had lost power and thrust.

A power-on stall is a fucky, and there are other stalls that don't dip a wing: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media...t-training-magazine/technique--power-on-stall - but I don't think we see a stall, I think we see the pilot pulling up as he sees the ground right in his ass (understandable).

The worst part is that Embraer is probably the company that most over designs their aircraft for safety. We got beat by the fucking Brazilians the Europeans.

A maintenance error left a E-190 almost completely uncontrollable after take-off even though the flight computer had prevented several take-offs due to detecting maintenance fucked something up prior. The load limit of the aircraft was exceeded over 100%-150% in half the plane, it still didn't break up and managed to land safely, the flight path looked like this in some areas.

According to wikedpedo:

The investigation blamed the aircraft manufacturer for unsatisfactory maintenance instructions, the supervising authorities for failing to supervise the maintenance crew, who lacked the skills to perform the heavy maintenance, and the flight crew for failing to notice the condition during pre-flight control checks.

So basically Brazil made a plane for Brazil.

Shiiittt talk about Murphy's Law

Brazilian engineers can be very gifted at times.

Their issue is their retarded government and money issues.

Also, the 787 was probably designed with the typical 150% safety factor, maybe more as it was the first carbon fiber commerical jets.

I would also like to note that the aircraft that crashed is Line Number 26, the 787 had a completely fucked production line, all aircraft up to line number 22 were built so poorly they required reinforcements in multiple areas increasing the weight and significantly reducing range giving them the nickname "Terrible Teens" forcing Boeing to sell them at discount to shitty airlines like Air India which operates some of these 787's. While 26 is outside of the range this is way before Boeing improved(they never fixed) the 787's awful build quality. Some 787's with these early line numbers have had horrifically bad issues such as the fire extinguisher handles being wired to the wrong engine and tools sealed inside the walls of the aircraft.

The 787 is built in a Green field factory in S.. Carolina with karts literally made all over the world, including Japan, to get tax breaks and guaranteed orders from certain airlines.

It was also the first of its kind.

So they first were built with an extremely green workforce on a never before seen airplane.

Juliane Koepcke was the only survivor of Lansa Flight 508 which broke apart in the air due to lighting strike. Though more people supposedly survived the initial crash, she was the only one who saved herself. She then survived in the jungle for 10 days until she found help. Amazing story.

She probably ate some people...

She wasn't a stewardess, she was a random 17-year-old girl. Fucking LEGEND.

Walked through the Amazon barefoot for 11 days.

There are birds named for her mom.

Sophie Turner was working on a movie about her, but it's been stalled out (as it were) for a while.

Edit: Fuckin' ninjas.
Double edit: There are two women that this happened to.
