Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad

What’s the point of posting this here? Misinformation at the best. Serves no purpose to elevate such speculation?

The fact it had not been posted here before and was presented as new info is why it was shared, with obvious disclaimers from the moment it was posted as well as naming the source, it’s called peer review! Once shared other members pointed out its history. Better to be aware of the falsehoods than be ignorant.

Obviously YMMV. Don’t see the point of posting speculation without checking facts first.
 
It read very well on first sight and my initial reaction was one of relief at "knowing" what happened.
I then re read it , the holes appeared and I thought some darker thoughts about the way stuff like this is manipulated.

TrTma.. there are no facts to check ..yet.. just endless speculation, much of it tasteless and self serving.
Perhaps @markis10 could have headlined the obvious and saved us all some disappointment.. C'est La vie...
 
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop here when it comes to Boeing. Wouldn’t surprise me if the 787 had a hidden mode no pilots were aware of built into the plane like MCAS on the MD-737 (737 MAX) like RTO (reverse take off)

“MD-737”??
I refer to the 737 MAX as the MD-737 as it was designed by the bean counters at McDonald’s Douglas and not the engineers of Boeing
“Reverse take off”??
It’s a pejorative word I use for hidden flight modes like MCAS that cause an airplane to perform a reverse take off
