Do you have a hypothesis as to why that Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed in India?

@TheHorse According to the news they was a loud bang 10 minutes after take off and the plan crash landed shortly after

@BACONSTRIPSXXX This plane was never in the air for 10 minutes. It crashed less than 2 min after take off.

The aircraft was not properly inspected, a passenger said they had problems when it landed two hours before. I think the flaps did not work, you can see very well looking at the video that the pilot did not arrive to gain altitude.

@TheHorse Exactly and the video showed that the aircraft was unable to gain altitude. It's a shame that they do not stop an aircraft to check it better when the passengers complained of tech issues at their arrival.

I believe there was an issue with the flaps. One needs flaps to gain altitude at take off speed.

The DOGE cutbacks at the FAA. I mean, that’s caused every other plane crash, right? (Sarcasm) I saw a pilot explaining his theory: catastrophic dual engine failure.

It may have caused a few. But we will see about this one. Were the flaps not properly extended? How could that happen in the post-post-post-modern era?

Throw that out of your head. Such cases don't happen always. Just ping us that you landed safely. Happy journey

My son was saying yesterday he saw something about the investigation, which is still ongoing. It was said that the DGCA has ruled out birds, pilot error, overloading, and engine failure. Hmm...it certainly makes a person wonder.

National Geographic comes up with aircraft investigation series. They are worth watching. I'm sure they will come up with a documentary on this as well.

there is probably a cable that is colliding and there is no checking in that area.

Some pilots insist the all clear to their satisfaction before taking off. In this case, it looks like some issues were overlooked.

What issues do you think were involved? We the flaps not configured properly?

I think there might be some technical sabotage. There's surely some evil mind behind this mishap. After that about 5 aircrafts from and to India suffered some technical problems.

I am sorry for the victims and their families. Maybe the plane was not inspected well.

I am going with the theory that try tried to retract the landing gear and accidentally retracted the flaps.

I would say, most likely a combination of factors. Could be pilot error. Could be mechanical failure. Could be any number of things. I suppose all we can do is wait and see what the investigation turns out to be as to the cause. Anything right now would be pure speculation and serves no real purpose.

Incorrect, if you're trained in science. You generate hypotheses. And then you test them. I am wondering if the flaps were set properly. But there are multipal warning systems about flap settings on modern aircraft.

@TheHorse None of us are pilots, aircraft mechanics, aviation experts, meteorologists or any other thing that could be related to what happened. Thus, the "scientists" are the ones "on the case," and only they will be able to determine what the cause was. WE, on the other hand, because we are NOT scientists or experts, are purely speculating. Scientific research requires data, and data is what we are missing. There is no possible way we could piece this together and have an aha moment. We can GUESS and even have a modicum of insight into various factors...BUT, at the end of the day, we're still only speculating.
