• More FACTS on Air India,- the fuel switches

    15 minutes in, detailed video and diagrams showing exactly how the fuel switches are connected and how they work.

    As with all other videos, draws no conclusions whatsoever because
    litigation.

    https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/air-india-crash-senior-pilot-eab72db5

    The WSJ is big enough to take any potential litigation, and its readers
    want to know whether this is going to hit Air India or Boeing stock.

    (The captain did it. Deliberately).

    Well I went from 'clearly both engines failed' to 'clearly someone
    switched the fuel off on both engines' as soon as the preliminary report
    came out and I had listened to the people who understand 777 fuel systems.

    I ruled out accidental because the odds of *all* those things happening

    Yes. And if you have more information, like the switches never having
    ever done this before in the entire history of the aircraft, the fact
    it happened to *both*, plus the fact that it happened at exactly the
    time when the aircraft had committed to take off, but was close enough
    to the ground to make recovery impossible...

    ...It stretches coincidence a bit too far.

    I dont think anyone starts with that premise. I've watched dozens of air
    crash investigation videos, and the usual theme is multiple things wrong leading up to the crash, of which pilot error is usually only a small part.

    I refer you to the endless parade of Darwin Awards as a suggestion you
    may wish to adopt a similar strategy.

    Well yes, letting your teenage son fly an airliner is fairly stupid.,

    In general, in any incident I *begin* by eliminating the "Surely no one
    would .....?" possibilities before proceeding. Saves an awful lot of time.


    I don't, I look at *what* exactly happened, before even considering the why. There were theories about bird strikes, wrong flaps, overloaded
    aircraft etc etc.

    These were dismissed as the facts started to come to light.

    Prior to the interim report all that we knew was that both engines had
    failed. For no apparent reason.

    There were rumours about the fuel cutoff switches, but no firm information.

    We waited for the interim, and then it was clear that *both* the
    switches were moved *twice*, at which point given the actual physical
    nature of the switches as described by many pilots and maintenance
    people, that it could only be a deliberate act.

    Which is so inconceivably dumb that you had to be suicidal to do it.

    It was not both pilots, one was trying to save the aircraft and moved
    the switches to 'on' again.

    The most *likely* candidate was the pilot monitoring - the captain, who
    also *chose* to be the PM

    None of this takes an Einstein. Its just logical inferences drawn from
    the data.

    When in a hole, stop digging.

    I dont know if you are dumb and too proud to admit it, or a troll.

    Either way I am not sure I care.

    I have spent a lot of time analysing this, because it interests me. Not theorising, analysing and ruling out based on factual evidence that you
    are too lazy to gather for yourself and too egotistical to accept even
    if you did.

    Bringing in 'manners' is just another desperate attempt to shut down the message by attacking the messenger. A thoroughly loathsome approach

    I know you have bought in to some other theory based on nothing at all.

    If you aren't interested in the facts just STFU and leave the conversation.

    I have presented them and links to the sources for the benefit of people
    who don't have the time that I do to trawl the internet looking for
    accurate sources. And who may have absorbed ideas from inaccurate sources

    If you don't want to hear the facts just shut up.

    AIUI that's because the two switches are some distance apart, and

    I don't think that is actionable because it isn't technically
    re-publication.

    Otherwise the BBC would be awash with lawsuits.

    For repeating false, defamatory and even terrorist propaganda.
    E.g. they can report 'Immam Joe Bloggs called upon all Muslims to rise
    up and slaughter the Jew' with impunity. (And frequently do).

    They have highly paid media lawyers, and will only repeat things which

    Do you have a tame media lawyer, or have even been on a media law

    Do any of the UK banks issue "bank cards" (debit? credit?) containing
    the holder's photograph?

    Neither of the two banks with whom I have accounts do.

    And if, as I believe to be the case, none of the others do, this is a straightforward undermining of the requirement for photo-ID at the
    polling station.

    A bank card proves precisely *nothing* about the identity of the person
    holding it in their hand.

    Anyone can borrow or steal a bank card. And I expect that some will.

    Because 16 and 17 year olds wont have driver's

    A 16 yr-old can get a provisional driving licence for a moped. That rule
    is still in place. And the licence will bear the photograph submitted
    with the application.

    Moderation brings the requirement for a moderator...

    Maybe someone should raise an RFD for a uk group where miscellaneous
    topics can be discussed


    Such as perhaps, uk.misc, which has had two posts this year and which
    even the drug dealers gave up on at the end of 2023? It's pretty clear
    these days, of course.

    I've mentioned uk.politics.misc a few times, and a couple of other
    posters use it.

    Private moderated newsgroups simply become echo chambers matching the
    bigotry of their moderators exactly.

    Newsgroups with a narrow focus either get spammed out of existence or
    die from, boredom.

    Yiu can kill file people or a subject line easily.,
    If you dont like someone/some topic.

    Thats the usenet way. If you don't like it bugger off somewhere else

    with the application.

    And councils will issue free photo ID to those that request it for voting.

    Allowing bank cards to be used is just stupid, as it totally removes any
    way to check the ID - it could be a friend or sibling who has "borrowed"
    a card and, with no photo, the staff will have no way of knowing.

    Moderated groups seldom work and tend to piss off most of the users as
    soon as one of their posts is censored.

    The usenet is dying group by group and any more restrictions on groups
    with more than one post a week the more likely to accelerate this.

    If I get bored with a thread I just ignore it.
