I’m sorry you feel that way. I thought we agreed on the subject and I just had something to add. Gaslighting me is a weird response over a misunderstanding. Conversation is easier than whatever this is, but you do you.

Why were you wrong (assume you mean America). My point wasn’t to disagree with the point of your analogy, but to use it to also indicate some concern at the slope that’s getting slippery. I think it’s necessary to take stronger action against tyranny but there will be a cost either way.

Might be a bad example given what happened at the end of that conflict. I agree playing by the old rules and "norms" is pointless now... but I also don't want to see either side take it to Hiroshima levels either.

Questioning why I came back to social media last month... although I guess ignorance is the problem not the solution.

I saw an argument about this unfold online. The BS and β€œtrust me bro” justifications were wild. β€œThe military have strict rules around this and they know who is on that boat” yeah right… πŸ™„

Hey not sure I get your response? I wasn't telling you what to do either, just expressing my opinion on whether I think it matters or not. Sorry if it came across differently.

I don't think it will make the slightest difference. I think transparency is what we need here. Make it clear what is happening. A Blusky post by me or you is not going to change the course. But it might get more people on side.

It doesn't really matter though. MAGA idiots don't need to look at social media to decide which ones are women, POC and not dumb/evil. People posting this needs to happen to highlight this. It puts a face to the story when it starts happening. They are not playing 5D chess.

It’s definitely AI. We all have to be careful to not let out biases stop our critical thinking.

Why do you think he used the word β€œbrief”. The language is purposefully chosen.

That’s the rub (pun absolutely intended). While it’s possible that there might be a tiny effect… it’s really just again another way to make individuals feel to blame for the misdoings of governments and corporations.

The dude that was running and fell down lol. Trust me, don’t ever run towards a crash landing!

Is there confirmation on source and if this is actual footage from today?

787 Crash India What's a RAT? When does it deploy?
YouTube video by blancolirio 787 Crash India What's a RAT? When does it deploy?

The place to go for expert opinion and facts is youtu.be/MPk31EhtakE?...

I don’t think the flaps were the issue at all. And anyone who states things with certainty that isn’t backed by clear evidence is to be ignored. Let the investigation run and we’ll learn what happened.

The ones that say the least and to wait are usually the ones with experience. But a Kiwi 787 pilot gave some good info. Remember that BA pilot that got blamed for that crash that then turned out to be a rare and hard to repeat fuel issue.

It would be unlikely that slats are deployed and flaps are not and they ignored the master caution and checklist fail warnings on takeoff.

12.06.2025 13:23 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I don’t think we can definitively see or not if the rat is deployed. Would be 1-2 pixels max. But that is an unmistakable RAT sound from the 787 as it goes past. Let’s just wait and see doesn’t matter who is right here, only that we find out what actually happened.

I’ve been reading what actual 787 drivers are saying based on the clearer video. Speculation after a crash is often wrong. I could be wrong (always assume I am). That’s what the investigation is for.

12.06.2025 13:08 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

In a 787? I don’t think so. And gear up doesn’t mean the gear goes up immediately. If a brake hasn’t sopped a wheel it will be delayed. And if both engines fail it’s going to stop.

12.06.2025 13:06 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Actually sounds like the RAT is out and no thrust and can definitely see the slats.

12.06.2025 12:23 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Watch the original video. That copy going around doesn't have the sound from the crash aircraft. The RAT is definitely deployed and there is no engine thrust sound over the top of the RAT. But yes, all speculation based on limited info. Be interesting to see the result of the investigation.

12.06.2025 12:22 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

You get a very loud warning if you don't have the flaps configured. And if there is loss of power, then gear will stay down - but no unusual for gear to stay down to wait for a wheel to spin down.
