Reduced demand.
One reason is because Muslims use their left hand, therefore Muslims always eat with their right hands.

Lack of maintenance i.e. cost cutting with maintenance will usually end up biting you in the @ss, especially when hundreds of lives are at stake.

‘Nothing worked’: Haunting video hours before Air India crash

Quote:

Shocking footage showed the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s interior with defective TV screens and “no air conditioning at all” when it flew from Delhi to Ahmedadbad – two hours prior to the horror smash.

Quote:

He posted horrifying footage which showed many parts of the plane not functioning properly during its second last ever flight.

He said on X: “I was in the same damn flight 2 hours before it took off from AMD. I came in this from DEL-AMD.”

The shocked passenger added that he had “noticed unusual things” in the plane which he suggested may have been telltale signs that it was defective.

In the concerning footage, he can be heard saying: “The AC is not working at all. And as usual, your TV screens are also not working, neither this button for calling the cabin crew.”

He said: “Nothing is working. Nothing! Not even the light is working.”

This is starting to look more like a (lack of) maintenance disaster and not pilot error.

The plot thickens.

Why the RAT Changes Everything – Air India 171 Update

Captain Steeeve

Quote:

In this update to our original video on Air India Flight 171, Captain Steeeve revisits his initial theory—and sets the record straight.

Previously, Steeeve leaned heavily into the possibility that the pilot may have accidentally retracted the flaps instead of the landing gear during the takeoff roll, resulting in a critical loss of lift. But new, higher-quality footage tells a different story.

In this video, we clearly see the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) deployed—something that only happens in the event of significant power loss. This changes everything. Steeeve breaks down what the RAT deployment means, walks through the new evidence frame by frame, and explores the very real possibility that this was a dual engine failure scenario.

It’s important to get these stories right. Aviation is a world of learning—and when new information comes to light, good pilots update their understanding.

If you watched the original video, don’t miss this one.

This really has me intrigued now, I'll be watching for any new updates.

Nope. They were curry-munchers on their way to London to live. England is basically colonised by Indians.

You’re right, English is an Indo-European language, and contains many Sanskrit words.
You probably have proto-Indian ancestors yourself.
Also it is nigh on impossible to munch curry, toast yes but curry no.

Curry on toast? Curry on a cruskit? Grin

Butter and jam on toast; munching butter and jam?

If you say so .... but it depends on how well you do your toast.

Not everyone has a "sweet" breakfast.

Bacon & eggs on toast? Grin

Sounds like it should not have been in service.

But that would be typical of priorities & buck passing in Indian culture.

One theory is looking like a Pilot or First officer suicide. Sad

Nasty. If you're going to do yourself in, why take 241 other people with you?

Reports indicate that the fuel supply switches were both turned off shortly after takeoff (but were both in the ON position at the time of impact).

Apparently, those switches cannot be moved without deliberate action by the crew.

The engines were therefore starved of fuel very shortly after takeoff and one of the crew members asked the other if he had switched off the fuel but this was denied by the other. Shocked

The engines were then set to restart by one of the crew but there was insufficient time to gain enough thrust.

Blimey, not the first time a pilot or first officer has deliberately crashed an aircraft. Sad

On the other hand, did one of them try to cycle the engines after engine failure and it was just a tragic accident?

Captain Nemo,

Yes.

That scenario [of 'Pilot or First officer suicide'] is plausible.

More so, if the investigators uncover a realistic motive [....which would explain such an intent].

Also......if the investigators do discover a realistic motive [for one of the pilots 'doing the deed'],
will 'the politic of the incident/occasion', 'incentivise' the investigators
to try to suppress the 'full truth' from being publicly [openly] known ?

The 21st century......a place where open truth goes to die.

Now the focus seems to be on whether one of the pilots turned the fuel switches off or if a computer or electrical 'glitch' caused the fuel to shut off despite the switches being in the on position.

The plot thickens.

And, a few pilots have commented on the lack of video cameras recording what goes on in the cockpits of aircraft... it would make it a lot easier to see who operated which switch or control, etc.

Should have been mandated a long time ago.
