Is there a better version of the video ?
Is there a better version
of the well-known 23" video on X (formerly twitter), showing the end of the flight from the right of the path, with audio?
The URL is x.com/krok7517100/status/1933089931347345596 with the obvious before it. Last edited by fgrieu; 14th June 2025 at 08:10 . Reason: Link did not show Subjects: None |

Greek journal's report based on a forgery
This page
https://i1.prth.gr/images/w880/jpg/f...air-india.webp
(update: also
https://www.protothema.gr/images/w13.../air-india.jpg
) is an alleged summary of the preliminary report, posted by the Greek journal. One suspicious thing is it lists the URL of the report, but that's 404.
I'm posting this so that others can scrutinize the thing. [update] The more I look at it, the less I believe it. The "Immediate ActionsTaken" and "Next Step" sections could not be in a preliminary report at this stage. Some details are wrong (like the state of the surviving passenger) or made up (the FAA emergency AD 2025-16-51 listed as source is not there: https://drs.faa.gov/browse/ADFREAD/doctypeDetails ).

Among the most interesting of the Times article:
The Indian authorities confirmed on Sunday that the 787 (...) struggled to become airborne, using almost all of the 3,500m runway. That is notably more than the length that would have been calculated by the plane’s computer for the hot conditions and heavy load that day.

Trouble before rotation ?
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 ?

Replacement of throttle control module, wiring of fuel control switches
The
preliminary report
states:
The scrutiny of maintenance records revealed that the throttle control module was replaced on VT-ANB in 2019 and 2023. However, the reason for the replacement was not linked to the fuel control switch.
Are there records that on this or similar type, after a replacement of the throttle control module, the fuel control switches became defective, and how ? What type of switches are they: SPST, SPDT with 3 wires used ? For SPST or equivalent, is "cutoff" the "make" or "break" state ? Is there a common connection for the two switches, like a ground return or common live?
