I'm fairly certain that airport fire-fighting services would try not to damage any evidence but have been known to drive over bodies unwittingly. In the UK, at least, the fire service is well trained and assumes command of any major emergency.

Correct. That was the original purpose of the calculation. In addition to the sound itself having the measurable harmonic signature from other rat videos.
What this plot also does however is tell you the speed if you know the height or height if you know the speed.
The iphone used to film this were pictured somewhere, knowing the iphone model, and thus the characteristics of the camera, and the dimensions of the airplane it wouldn't be impossible to calculate height from the video imo.
Just throwing it out there if anyone sees the use and feels the call.
My personal amateur speculation still centers around the cut off switches.
Doesn't need to be a suicidal jump-seater, I have spilled coffee and sweet tea over complex electro/mechanical switches/panels before(large format audio consoles with 8000 buttons) and seen unexpected things happen.
I am sure the switches are spectacularly well built, but they are in close proximity and thus prone to the same external factors.
Does anyone know if these two cut-off switches in such close proximity has the exact same installation, or they differentiated in some way that makes a freak failure mode in one not neccesarily affect the other the same way?

The Times is not authoritative.
Based on the video taken from the left of the flight path, can we determine at what point of the runway rotation occurred? Is there positive confirmation that the takeoff roll started at the beginning of the runway ? Are the two indicative of trouble before rotation, as the Times states ?

The paper's science editor read Mathematics. As an engineer and Times subscriber, I have read many articles with technical errors.

AI's flight cancellations prove nothing.
AI has stated that all 787-8s will undergo the mandated inspections when each aircraft arrives back in India, so it's not surprising that they will need time to get all of them back to where they are needed. It is not necessarily indicative of any faults being found

If anyone wants to read an article that is paywalled, many browsers have a speed reader function. If you select this as soon as the page loads it will often open a simplified page, minus some graphics, but all the text should be readable. Nothing in The Times or Reuters adds anything we didn't know.

No, we don't know if the fuel valves closed. Nor do we know if the RAT or APU started automatically.

Assume an object travels at 200 knots and its speed decays to 120 knots (100m/s to 60m/s). The kinetic energy lost thereby suffices to elevate that object by ~1000 ft. (320m) in a vacuum, i.e. disregarding drag. In other words, if 75% of the kinetic energy was lost through air resistance (drag), the aircraft could still climb more than 200 feet.

" The fan never stops rotating in a normal engine loss. Having been through a catastrophic engine failure in a 767 I can tell you that trust stops almost instantly."
I can well believe that "trust" stops instantly

India is the first country to put a lander and a rover on the south pole of the moon. I'm sure they can get the data from the EAFR!

But has AAIB India ever had to get data directly from the memory chips due to a badly damaged data recorder? I think it would have the capability.

Err, it is not your EAFR. It belongs to an Indian company and is under the jurisdiction of India. But it is natural to believe that your country can do a better job than any foreigners.
