Re fuel contamination. Shouldn\x92t the engines be feeding from separate tanks at that point? What are the odds of simultaneous Engine Failure? (Basing that on there is little yaw or wing drop to the live)
It\x92s years since I looked at it. I thought it was in the FARs explicitly but I can only find CFR 25.1309 states the safety analysis for equipment systems and installations that would be likely encompass this. If the fuel from the bowser/ground tank was contaminated it would affect both engines. However, this would also have affected other aircraft at the airport. It could of course been refuelled with the wrong fuel, but that\x92s pretty much unheard of, and big engines like this can pretty much run on anything that will burn. Subjects

I disagree. I think the lines of the underneath of the aircraft are quite obvious and its clear there's no RAT. Given it drops on the wing to body fairing just behind the main landing gear on the starboard side of the aircraft, it should be very obvious in this photo.

Very interesting article in the Daily Telegraph.
The over riding impression I get is one of vested interests protecting their own position rather than following the evidence. https://apple.news/AHSrBmul0Tv-yToeImigXTA Subjects: None No recorded likes for this post (could be before pprune supported 'likes').Reply to this quoting this original post.

The responses to the article are very interesting. And pretty much go to reaffirming my point about vested interests.
it was the same with the MH370 accident. If you\x92re American or worked/flew Boeing aircraft you\x92re more likely to blame the pilots. If you\x92re Indian or Asian you\x92re more likely to blame the aircraft. Unless someone produces a smoking gun, which is very unlikely, then the causes will always be up for debate. Here in the U.K. we had the Chinook crash, where the pilots were instantly blamed. It makes me very uncomfortable to blame one individual for a deliberate action without a smoking gun as such.

I take your point and have changed the statement that offended you.
