Incidental, but I wonder the camera operator was actually trying to capture. Did the aircraft fly into his shot or had something occurred which made him, (sounds like a him), grab his device and start recording? The footage from X is not CCTV, its a hand held device, probably a phone, and not professional. Was capturing the final moments of this unfortunate aircraft a coincidence?

The entire flight from rotation to impact was 30 seconds. Is it even possible to complete an engine shutdown in that time?

There's no evidence of bird strike on any of the videos. Fuel starvation/contamination is highly unlikely to impact both engines simultaniously. One other possibility is a catastrophic software failure, as Boeing had with the 737 Max.

Suggesting it was a pilot "brain fart" is also purely speculation, but that speculation is welcomed.

This is the summary
Air India crash investigators are examining the medical records of the pilot whose plane crashed in Ahmedabad amid claims that he suffered from depression and mental health problems.
Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who was 56, was months from retirement but had been considering leaving the airline to look after his elderly father following the death of his mother in 2022, The Telegraph can reveal. The pilot, who had more than 15,000 flying hours to his name, last undertook a Class I medical exam on Sept 5 last year. His records have been handed to investigators, whose initial report said their focus was on the actions of the pilots rather than a technical fault with the plane. The Airline Pilots’ Association of India said it rejected the “tone and direction” of the inquiry. Captain Mohan Ranganathan, a leading aviation safety expert in India, told The Telegraph: “I have heard from several Air India pilots who told me he had some depression and mental health issues. He had taken time off from flying in the last three to four years. He had taken medical leave for that.” Subjects (links are to this post in the relevant subject page so that this post can be seen in context): Mental Health |

The fuel switches were switched off with a gap of 1 second (allowing for 1Hz sampling, between 0 and 2 seconds).
They were switched back on, about 10 seconds later, with a gap of 4 seconds (between 3 and 5 seconds). What might account for the much slower switch on, especially given the serious nature of the situation?

After engine #1 has been switched back on, why wait another 4 seconds (3 to 5 seconds) before switching back on #2? Subjects: None |
