Air India crash

That really tells you nothing of direct relevance. Jet engine failures are rare compared with Infernal pistons.  Nev

O.K. Apparently "Third World", is now an antiquated term, and India is now classed as "First World", due to advances in many parts of the country. But my comment is relevant as regards rubbish.

 

Try looking up, "does India have a rubbish problem", and tell me if their rubbish production and handling is First World.

It's alright to admit you're wrong ☺️ India was never third world. In the era we used those terms, there was no such term as 'second world'. It was in the 'develiping world category.

I can't see why the fuss. nev

Still no cause of the accident. Why so long? With the data recorders being sent to America you would think there would be some indications of what caused the accident? 
The naive cynic in me thinks there could be political interference in this investigation. If it's proven to be Boings fault it would be disastrous or possibly the end.
 

With massive repercussions and the known corruption of the American leadership a coverup seems to be one reason why there has been no reasons for the disastrous accident yet.

Like everyone here I dont know what happened, but accounts I've read about the standard of CRM withing Indian civil aviation and embedded cronyism allowing instances of Aircrew with faked hours into positions they shouldnt be, I wouldnt be too quick to blame technical flaws 

We'll see

This is India - Bureaucracy Central. Where you need to fill out 300 forms to get a simple decision from the Govt, and it will take 3 years to come to that decision.

 

I can well imagine the number of Indian Bureaucratic Depts who are demanding to be the primary agency for disseminating information from the crash.

The Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation has requested a preliminary report within 30 days, and I cannot see anything being officially released until that 30 days is up.

 

Here's the 15 pages of fine print definitions, rules and procedures for the Indian, "Aircraft (Investigation of Accidents and Incidents) Rules, 2012".
