Accident London-Bound Air India Flight Crashes Near Ahmedabad
The flight and voice recorders seemed quite definitive but this is not something you can easily do by mistake. You'd need to put quite a bit of force to pull out the stick and move it to cut-of position. There are also metal brackets on the sides that prevent you from accidentally touching it - which was an issue on older planes where the stick could just be moved without pulling it out first and was a physical rather than electronic switch. Pilot also said he didn't move it when asked. And there would be no reason for anyone to touch those switches in flight. They are to start/shut down engines, so generally only touched on the taxiway and at the gate, except in case of engine fire or detachment, etc. Had this been older plane like 737-800, yes, it was possible to leave switches in position where vibration could accidentally move them to cut-off but not on 787. Some serious questions. How could pilot switch (which is, if you have a manual car, equate to unknowingly pulling up the gear shift stick and moving it to reverse position) to cut-off without realising it, or, does the engine controller have the ability to physically move the switch on its own? If the latter, there would be a deadly flaw in Dreamliner engine fuel control system. If this was pilot error... I just can't see how this could be accidental. It borders on impossible. -

Tariffs, tariff and tariffs again
We are here in ASEAN NOW... Gas prices going up or down have nothing(!) to do with your question: "Hows the American economy doing?" "In its year-end 2024 forecast, the US Federal Reserve anticipated continued growth at 2.1% and inflation declining to 2.5% in 2025. Three months later, these projections had dropped to 1.7% growth and 2.7% inflation. Most forecasters – from the Conference Board to the International Monetary Fund – agree that the US economy will slow significantly, with growth landing somewhere between 1.4% and 2%, and global growth falling from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.3% in 2025" Source: Project Syndicate, "Trump Has Wrecked the US Economy" But figures and facts don't seem to bother you really. You just put them down as: Wish you a pleasant day, Sir. -

USA Fetterman Slams Mamdani After Primary Win: “Not Even a Democrat”
No you did not. I did see "red cent" which is often taken to mean Republican funds, a "Blue cent" would be interpreted as Democrat funds. Ok, so some groups seeking to influence his positions contribute. What's your point? AOC receives large contributions from similar groups as Fetterman such as Google, New York City Dept of Education, Kaiser Permanente, City University of New York and the US Postal Service. Bernie Sanders had similar large donations. Why are Fetterman's donations questionable and not Sanders or AOC's? -

It would take a constant stream of little brown envelopes to inch the process towards an eventual disappointment. This is one of those TIT moments. The dude should take his licks and move on 🥺
