Considering the RAT is 100% out as evidenced from footage both visually and audibly; the initial conclusion can only be both engines have failed, or one failed, and the other unfortunately shut down.
Ridiculous. The jet's only been airborne a few seconds... do you really think they would have had enough time to shut down the wrong engine? Do you fly?
Absolutely. I just have no idea however how Air India train their persons to do memory items. Our brains can do very interesting things in stressed times, which as an experienced skipper I\x92m sure you\x92ll be aware of

The entire flight from rotation to impact was 30 seconds. Is it even possible to complete an engine shutdown in that time?
You certainly should try that\x92s for sure. ANC and all that good stuff! In a panic it certainly is possible to just pull the wrong one. I\x92m not saying that\x92s what\x92s happened, to me it seems like dual engine failure, practically simultaneously.
No the plane barely took off the runway, low power setting/bad flaps. Unless you are saying a double engine failure before take off but seriously how likely is that? It's much more plausible to mess up the take off settings we have seen it many times before. But I think we will find out soon, no need to speculate too much.
But why is the RAT extended? Any 787 drivers able to confirm under what conditions the RAT automatically deploys?
