Thank you very much and God bless you.
Cutoffakazi
The cutoff switch is in the cockpit right? So all part of pre flight by the pilots, no?
Are you catching my drift?
Very good video
If you make it idiot-proof, they’ll just generate a more idiotic class of idiot.
This looks a lot like a deliberate act.
Several news outlets have posted a partial transcript of the cockpit voice recorder. One of the pilots asks. “Why did you cut off?” The other pilot says, “I did not do so”
As the switches have to be manually operated it would appear that one of the pilots did, in fact, move the switches from run to off. And this happened almost immediately after takeoff as the RAT was deployed just a few seconds after rotation. As both pilots had several thousand hours of flight time between them it would seem to strain credibility that this was an inadvertent action.
Weird. Those switches are on the center console halfway down towards the floor. Why were they/whomever fooling around down there?

Page 14 excerpt:
The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off.
In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so.
Thank you. Despite some other comments, Captain Steeeve is very highly regarded in the aviation community.
I worked at Boeing Experimental Flight test for over 20 years. I was given access to all information to any aircraft crash on file in the entire world. Stuff not released to the public.
There are Moslem pilots that commit suicide and take the entire passenger load with them. That is fact. I can’t understand that.
But if I suspect the pilot is a Moslem I will
“get sick” and go for another flight.
MH370.
Now 171.
Gonna have to step up psych review.
Because ... the wives have left them and not coming back .. the children want nothing to do with them .. the Mahdi taunts them in their dreams and shits down their neck, rightfully accusing them of being pathetic prostrate postulants .. so they fall back on what the last radical imam that was willing to abide their craziness for 5 minutes and finally said: "If you feel that way, you could always take the kafirs with you, PISSBEUPONHIM will bless you with 70 Helen Thomas."
A remote possibility is the fuel control switches shorted out. Forward of the throttle levers on the pedestal is a big flat horizontal EICAS/MFD screen. A convenient place to set your large coffee cup. On rotation it falls backwards and spills the contents over the throttle levers and cutoff switches. I’m not saying this happened, just that it’s a possibility. A similar situation occurred on an A350. One engine shutoff and the pilots were able to restart it. It happened at altitude, not on takeoff.
The problem with Captain Steeeve is that he speaks based on leaks and without having all the information. Like he did in first video on this matter when he did not even know that the Ram Air Turbine had deployed even though the internet already knew it. Then he had to correct himself the next day.
I read the comments in this latest video shortly after it came out. The actual report had not been released yet. It was based on Wall street journal scoop. It was clear that people were using reason and logic in there thinking. They were making lots of assumptions. Many people were assuming that when the cutoff switches were reported to be off. That that was based on a physical inspection of the wreckage rather than information on the FDR. Of course that information was based on the FDR. And the physical inspection showed that they were actually on at the time of impact.
Because so much of Captain Steeeve’s audience is so low IQ then he should be much more careful about the worlds he chooses to describe events. He is also not even mentioning the possibility that the computer system glitched and only thought that the switches were off. The meaning of the pilot conversation is unclear. How did the pilot actually deduce that the switches were off. Did he physically see them off. Or did he simply see a message reporting that they were off. Would such a message have appeared on that plane? That is a billion dollar question to be answered. Unfortunately the report says nothing to answer that question. The other pilot said he did not touch the switches.
First rule of electrical engineering: Plug it in.
Second rule of electrical engineering: Turn the switch ON.
#####
Third rule of electrical engineering: Check the fuse.
Fourth rule of electrical engineering: if you think the solution is simple, you don’t understand the problem
India is a majority-Hindu nation. Muslims only make up 14% of the population. It's why there's a country called Pakistan. The Indians don't like Islam.
Enough of the knee-jerk reactions. It makes this place look like Democratic Underground.
You need to go actually read up on what Boeing did.
Lied to Pilots, lied to airlines, engage in complete and total fraud.
Maybe do actually read and watch what veteran US pilots have to say about Boeing and what those pilots did.
Boeing literally murdered 346 people, period
There is a one second delay from the left engine fuel cutoff to the right engine fuel cutoff.
You must lift the lever and then switch it to OFF. It cannot be an accident....especially given the delay in each being shut off.
CVR reports one pilot asking the other if they cutoff the fuel.
The other responds I did not do that
We do not know which one asked yet.
They tried to turn fuel back on, but engines could not spool up in time.
Yes, you are a xenophobic prick with no intelligence.
Ethiopean Air has a better safety record than many western airlines, which puts a lie to your assertion.
The 737 Max MCAS was a flawed design that took control AWAY from the humans.
Boeing embraced DEI and created flawed designs that were approved by a corrupted FAA resulting in the deaths of hundreds....hopefully, the "Big Guy" got his cut.
Sometimes due to ignorance. Sometimes due to low intellect.
