My condolences to anyone involved.
Ugh. Looks like they aren’t sure what caused the crash yet. How terrifying.
My heart goes out to all of the people and families involved.
Don’t take Air India. Ever. I don’t know why the aviation safety expert was surprised. Airplanes are built with redundancy, but there is a recording from an Air India plane trying to land at the NYC area (I think JFK?). Everything failed. They do not take maintenance seriously
Damn. To have that many electronics fail simultaneously, with redundancy, and still have control of the ship. Incredible.
Oh yeah, full bloody credit to the pilots.
I would still NEVER fly Air India. They make American’s maintenance woes look like Delta.

That’s not true.
An airplane flown from a country known for terrible safety standards crashed? Color me shocked.
This from the same country where it’s common practice to make plastic poles with wire to attach directly to power lines, weld without welding face masks, use power tools with bare feet or sandals, overload scooters with 3x their load bearing capacity, and much more.
My heart goes out to everyone who lost someone on this flight, but it’s sadly not surprising. India really needs to invest in workplace and personal safety, which is going to be a gigantic cultural shift.
Scary stuff
