Could be but it looked like they were never set to any useful degree to enable take off.

I doubt that. The warnings would have been blaring, i didn't see any of the experts stating that and i doubt the plane would have gotten of the ground.

The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) has directed Air India to undertake immediate technical inspections of all Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft fitted with Genx engines. Of the 33 Dreamliners currently in service across Indian carriers, 8 have already undergone inspection. The remaining aircraft are being checked on an urgent basis.

 

Gotta wonder what they're being inspected for?

An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to New Delhi was forced to turn back to Hong Kong on 16 June, after the pilot reported a suspected technical issue mid-flight.

 

According to the Hong Kong Airport Authority, flight AI315 declared a “local standby”, indicating a precautionary return due to a possible fault. The aircraft landed safely at Hong Kong International Airport at around 13:15 local time.

 

The nature of the suspected technical issue has not been disclosed, and no injuries have been reported.

 

Air India has not yet issued an official statement regarding the diversion or the condition of the aircraft.

 

Passengers on board were disembarked following standard safety procedures. It remains unclear whether a replacement aircraft will be arranged or if the flight will be rescheduled.

From Aviation Herald.
 

On  Jun29th, India's Civil Aviation Minister said: "It has never happened that both engines shut down together." Investigators are analysing the black boxes from every angle including engine issues, fuel supply problem or something else including sabotage. A preliminary report is to be expected in three months.
 

India has also accepted the proposal from ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) for an ICAO observer into the accident investigation. The observer will not have investigative authority, but will provide technical input and ensure that global best practises are being followed. This enhances transparency and reinforces India's adherence to international standards.

Thanks. A rather ambiguous statement and a rather long time for a preliminary report. 

 

I can't hold my breath any longer.
