    Another Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. They need to rename them Nightmareliners.

    I think you're confusing it with the 737 MAX as the 787 Dreamliner has an excellent safety record.

    They think it could have been a bird strike.

    They say one guy is claiming he survived the crash. Which is either a miracle or he's bullshitting.

    Miraculous but true!

    British passenger in seat 11A survives India plane crash, reports say
    Vishwashkumar Ramesh is believed to have survived the Air India crash that killed at least 200 people.
    www.bbc.com

    He actually walks from the crash site.

    This would indicate a possible pilot error.

    What could have caused Air India plane to crash in 30 seconds?
    Experts told the BBC that a flap issue, engine failure or a bird strike are among the possible causes of the crash.

    But how could an experienced pilot make such a mistake? Besides, the aircraft warning system would surely have sounded, notifying the pilot of the error?

    Typical Daily Mail OTT reaction.

    Judging by that I should have died in a plane crash years ago. :D
