Poor people. Just one survivor - he might want to get a lottery ticket.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

It's not a Boeing 737 Max which was the problem type, it's a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner which is their flagship aircraft, no crashes besides this one but it is the one that had smoking Lithium batteries in the passenger compartment on its first flight.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

June 12th, 2025 Air India Flight 171 full accident sequence from CCTV

Looks to me as if they pulled back the flaps and lost lift rather than the landing/take off wheels to lower drag.

As mentioned on tonight's TV news that passenger will be suffering extreme survival guilt. 'Why only me?!'

Luck. Sometimes that is the only thing between us and total disaster.

His brother also on that flight,was killed so he's likely to have life long problems.

My guess is pilot error, they retracted the flaps instead of the wheels.
