June 12Jun 12 I think this is the first 787 hull loss? Early footage shows landing gear down and struggling to gain altitude.
June 12Jun 12 Be warned if you go to twitter you'll find the video of the crash and many more of the aftermath and some are really NSFL.
June 12Jun 12 From the footage it looked like the flaps were not extended, so it's probably likely pilot error unless 787's history of poor workmanship really struck at the worst time

Ghouls and their iPhones. The people crowding around the “body part” to take pictures and videos. I had a truck flip in front of me a few years ago and the first three people who reached the wreckage were taking pictures of the dead, partially ejected driver.

Not a great condition for a plane to be in just after takeoff full of people and fuel for a pretty long flight...

This is the first 787 to go down in the thirteen years it’s been operational. Which is remarkable considering the scrutiny both the 787 and 737 Max have received. But this might be due to the fact many of long haul flights are using older Boeing models or Airbus.

People crave views, likes, follows and potentially money by being the first to post a tragedy.
June 12Jun 12 Watched the video. Flaps up, gear down, engines sound like they are thrusting. CVR will be horrible.

June 12Jun 12 Apparently the one survivor jumped from the plane? Will be a crazy story to see what was going on.

June 12Jun 12 Allegedly they performed an intersection takeoff leaving 6300 feet of usable runway behind them which would be very odd on a flight that long.

June 12Jun 12 @Bobby_Batronic, @DaysOff wouldn't the pilots had to have raised the flaps at that point in their ascent themselves? to even get to that point in the air they had to have started down, right? what the ever loving fuck?

The Ram Air Turbine is deployed which suggests a complete loss of power. It’s a small fan that generates limited electricity and hydraulic pressure. Probably something happened before they had a chance to do much else. Birds, fuel contamination would be obvious. Terrorism? There’s no rudder deflection so they’re not single engine unless the operating engine were retarded to idle. I would think the 787 handles that for you.

He defeated the curtain to get to the door too. Might catch a criminal charge for using a first class emergency exit. Edited June 12Jun 12 by Pato del Muerto

June 12Jun 12 Seeing that video, I think everyone knew what was coming. It stalled all the way to the ground. Terrifying and people absolutely could feel that the ground was not moving the way it was supposed to.

South Asian media is AWFUL. They shared a passenger manifest before NOK got contacted. Wait for an international source to confirm anything.
