TL;DR: US exâNavy pilot đ§ââïž Steve Scheibner analysed fresh highâdef video of the June 12 Air India 787 crash in Ahmedabad, spotting the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) deploying right after takeâoff â a tellâtale sign of dual engine failure. He also heard a âhighâpitched squealâ that matches the RAT sound. Investigators are digging into engine, flap, hydraulic, and electrical systemsâblack boxes and cockpit voice recorder data are now with Indiaâs AAIB, aided by Boeing, UK & US teams, while regulators order checks on the grounded 787 fleet to ensure safety đźđł.
1. đ New video sheds gameâchanging clue
Former US Navy pilot Steve Scheibner spotted a small grey dot under the planeâs bellyâthis is the Ram Air Turbine (RAT), which pops out only when both engines fail or hydraulics/electrics are shot.
2. đ§ Audio backs up RAT theory
Scheibner identified a high-pitched squeal, like a small propeller, consistent with RAT operationâcaptured before the crash.
3. đ„ Dual engine failure theory strongest so far
This evidence places the focus squarely on a catastrophic dual engine failure, not pilot error or flap settings, and experts are investigating fuel issues, electrical or mechanical faults .
4. đ What officials are probing
Indiaâs AAIB, along with Boeing, UK &Â US officials, are examining engine thrust, flap position, landing gear, hydraulics, and electrical systems. Both flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been recovered, and DGCA has ordered enhanced maintenance checks on all 787s from June 15.
5. đ Wider fallout & Boeing under scrutiny
This is the first fatal crash of a Boeing 787 since its 2009 launch. Boeing execs cancelled Paris Air Show appearances and dispatched teams to aid the probe .
MediaFx POV đ§
From a working-class, socialist standpoint, this tragedy exposes a systemic failure in aviation safetyâfrom corporate cost-cutting to lax oversight. While Boeing is now under intense pressure, the real victims are ordinary families who lost loved ones due to potential negligence. We demand transparency, stricter safety norms, and regulated oversight to ensure that tragedies like this donât repeat. Safety shouldn't be optionalâitâs a fundamental right for the working class and their children! ââ
