Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad


Deliberate (or erroneous) actions potentially?
At this stage I'm inclined to wait for the official reports or anything from verifiable sources - I think that we have figured out as much as we can about what may have happened and possible causes, and now it is a case of sorting the chaff from the wheat in all the stuff flying around on the internet with anonymous sources etc.
 
Well, if you read the article, it says their sources cannot rule intentional action in or out. In other words, they have no idea, and are just making it up.
Yep - and its pretty much yet another "my mate's brother knows someone who works with the sister of Raj who works at the hotel where the crash investigators are staying and he reckons..."

Whatever findings are in the report, political pressures could be immense (for both India and the US), given the current trade negotiations and the change in approaches to international cooperation. :(

Yes - another factor that could potentially complicate things... although the U.S. NTSB being there should help keep the investigation on track - they will be keen to know the exact cause after the 737 Max debacle.
