Boeing down in India

Burbank is a bitch.

I’ve been in there hundreds of times over the last 20 years at weights from 210K to 302K; typically land on 8 and typically turn off at the crossing runway intersection. We have great brakes on the A300. At top of descent one morning, I put a heart rate monitor, that strapped around my chest, on and Bluetoothed it to my phone for recording. HR started at 74 and spiked at 126 at landing. Busy little airport and they are building a new terminal.

As far as Air India goes, it will be interesting to hear the FDR and CVR findings; otherwise, kind of hard to know. Does look like some kind of human error issue one way or another.

Chaplins in Schools: An interesting concept... might have some merit!

Cool story

No research yet again. The stakes don’t “kill” vampires in most traditional stories it holds them in their coffin or to the ground so they can’t rise and terrorize people. The heart stuff is a more modern story, people are living the mythical vampire is “undead” which doesn’t mean alive. Supernatural forces animated it so the biological life bs isn’t needed.

This is fun
So, what I gathered there was that a wooden stake through the heart will kill satanists?

Perfect, I've never seen a vampire.

Boeing down in India

Throwing my 2c in, though it’s worth less than that. I doubt it’s an incorrect performance data thing. For a couple reasons; 1. Though it looked like a late, maybe forced rotation, that was a flying aircraft until it wasn’t. B. My airline has had issues with bad TO data, leading to tail strikes but every one has returned to land. Even in the couple of cases the crew didn’t know they experienced a tail strike, they landed uneventfully. Though they had some explaining to do the next day.

I almost refuse to watch the YouTube idiots diagnose an accident. The couple of influencers I’ve met, lead me to believe they’re idiots, in it for the “wow” factor, whatever the fuck that is, vs love of flying.

I can see Boeing taking a back seat on the investigation until a probable cause stating they aren’t to blame comes out. I’m sure a big part of that is let the investigation branches of whatever government do their job, and depending on findings, mitigate fallout. With production getting back to where they were “pre-door falling off”, they don’t want any more bad press. Especially now that orders are flowing in again and options being exorcised.

.223 - 5.56

I use it for 6.5g .
It's gtg.

I prefer clean first fired brass from the range. No wasted hassle fire forming to blow out shoulders.
The cheap 223 brands that cover the floor are my favorite brass.

The big name stuff is not worth the hassles of saving up a run on all said and done. I like the bulk range ammo in brands people would not purchase for "good ammo" .

I don't like pre processed brass, it's all sized too far down. I normally run 2-3 thousands of bump at the most for my ar's chambers that are within 1/2 thousands of each other on the shoulder.

Short Barrel Ranch Rifle Cartridge Choice

My favourite rifle these days is my 18" 6.5 creed. Chassis has a folding stock so nice and compact I mostly shoot handloads in it but my 140gr ELDM load is pretty much the same as the factory 140gr ELDM ammo I've run in it, goes about 2600fps. For your application with probably less time to range (I have an Impact 4000 on mine), I'd try the 100gr ELVT, should be nice and flat.

Man, it must really suck to suffer from TDS.
Far from it , but one has to have at least some minimal standard and not defend every scam DJT backs or launches to make money of guilible followers ,these meme coins are clear pump and dumps by any standard outright frauds , and same fraudsters pop out of the woodwork on many of these projects at its bizzare how there is no prosecution whatsoever,

Zero inherent value just pump and dump as fast as possible for insiders

Boeing down in India

Peace of mind to know why.

I personally think the airline missed something, assuming the prior flight the passengers who mentioned an electric issue are legit and it seeming like the rat was out with an obvious lack of thrust. Given that the 787 have been a very good aircraft, I think India Air fucked up some where, maintenance, pilots or a combination of both.

India ain't the US, not sure what kind of control over information they have.
Human error and/or malpractice is the most likely cause.
Poor maintenance has caused issues in the past, that combined with bad decision making by the crew could easily explain it.

Air Asia 8501 occured when the pilots attempted a reset that should only be done on the ground in flight.
I don't think the crew did anything similar on takeoff, but it's just an example of humans ability to do stupid things.

I'm 100% convinced it's not a simple software glitch or some random loss of all electronically power;
A, it's extremely unlikely
B, there is no actual evidence of it.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, buts it's almost certainly going to be either;
-an error (maintenance, pilot, or both)
-malicious
-component failure (but more substantial than just software)
