Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Very few A340s in service.

Yeah the more I read about it the harder it is to believe such is the case. The people running this through simulations are saying even if you bypassed the protection system that dont allow you to retract the flaps accidently, you would lose lift but it would not cause the plane to fall out of the sky like it didi am sorry but planes should have automatic systems that either fix these pilot errors or let the pilots know that they have made these errors. this is the second or third time ive heard stuff like this happening.
they are relying too much on pilots getting everything right. maybe have a screen up or a voice confirmation after pilots have taken an action. so they dont have to triage the issue with seconds left to live.
this is why i hate flying. statistically this. statistically that. i couldnt give a fuck. i dont want to put my life in the hands of retards.
Yeah, but this is the first ever incident of this type for this plane. It was in service 11 years.I'm still leaning towards dual engine failure and the terrible engineering standards set by Boeing
broken link sirYeah, but this is the first ever incident of this type for this plane. It was in service 11 years.
I don't see how the engineering could be at fault when there have been no prior incidents, and no hint at this kind of failiure for this aircraft.
Yeah. I am thinking the plane needed some serious maintenance.RIP to the victims. Hopefully we will get all the reasons for this tragedy and that for once no one blame the pilots before we get all the facts. And that Boeing is not responsible for this.
I see the ex employee post has been deleted. Any truth to her actually working there and making those statements?
Follow up video now he thinks it's a double engine failure. A support propeller deployed which provides emergency hydrolic pressure. Also some are saying that the landing gear is angled like it was being retracted then may have lost power which supports the hypothesis.
I can only think of fuel contamination would cuase this
Oh NOW he thinks it's double engine failure and not pilot error?Follow up video now he thinks it's a double engine failure.
I mean, we're all speculating from grainy footage and he claims as much very explicitly in his original video multiple times. Then he adjusts his views based on new information. No need to call somebody who admits they were wrong a clown but okOh NOW he thinks it's double engine failure and not pilot error?
What a clown, clearly got called out on his first take so he had to pivot.
Yes I will, because he could've taken more time to make a more well-informed, responsible take.No need to call somebody who admits they were wrong a clown but ok
Yes:
Or:The 787 pilot I follow on Reddit called it from the beginning too, but got downvoted so I didn't see it

Poorly written? What?Or:

That article about the switches is pretty poorly written. I'm still leaning towards third-world maintenance but hopefully they release some preliminary findings soon. It seems like cracking the mystery of 'did someone fuck with the fuel switches before or after losing thrust' shouldn't be too hard with an intact black box.
According to Mentor Pilots video yesterday its out of the question that the switches can move by themselves.So the investigation says both fuel cutoff switches were triggered in the cockpit, one after the other, immediately after takeoff.
One pilot asks "why did you cut off?" The other pilot says he did not do that.
The switches were moved back to the run position, but it's too late for the engines to regain power, and the aircraft crashes.
Absolutely bizarre. Shades of Germanwings Flight 9525 perhaps, unless it turns out that the switches can move from run to cutoff and back again without being touched.
I thought it was needlessly verbose for how little new information was there. In hindsight, I was probably wrong.Poorly written? What?
There's a guy I play Destiny 2 with who does the same shit... ask him a question about something retarded he did... he completely denies... but I'm recording my full game sessions and sure enough on review I find that he's full of shit. I would not take this person as my copilot in real life. Of course, since seemingly nobody admitted to actually doing it here, they'll have to try to figure out who the psycho is. As a psycho could have done it and then been all "why'd you do that bro?"So the investigation says both fuel cutoff switches were triggered in the cockpit, one after the other, immediately after takeoff.
One pilot asks "why did you cut off?" The other pilot says he did not do that.
Well, if your pilot really wants to kill himself along with everyone else... it's gonna be really hard to stop him. Ironically by trying to make it harder post Germanwings it looks like this dude decided to workshop how to do it without being able to lock everyone else out, and came up with a way that kills a bunch of people on the ground too.What the fuck man. How does something like this even happen.
And that's one of the many curses of Reddit. Downvoted for being right. Very rarely will there be an apology. Just a buried comment with an extra "are you sure you want to view this wrongthink?" clicking step.The 787 pilot I follow on Reddit called it from the beginning too, but got downvoted so I didn't see it
