According to a tweet from Flightradar24, approximately one hour into the flight, the aircraft was in cruise flight at 29,100 feet when it abruptly lost altitude, entering a steep descent. The aircraft appeared to recover briefly at approximately 8,000 feet, then it reentered dive.
Some sources claim the sudden nose-dive was intentional because of manual crew input, but to me it sounds like the crew reacted to something extremely strange happening and tried to correct it (“let’s click the AUTO button and get some rest. Oh shit.”), especially since the aircraft “appeared to recover briefly at approx. 8,000 feet”. Sounds a lot like all the other Boeing 737-x crashes where the pilots were surprised by the sudden nosedive, wrestled manual control back, only for the systems to kick in again into a dive.
I post this not as news, but as a point of interest for me personally.
Yes it crashed for completely unrelated reasons because it was a completely different plane.
If you had any idea how airplane engineering, and airworthiness certifications occurred you wouldn’t even ask those questions. All they do is betray your ignorance of the situation. What part of MCAS and not being installed on that plane, never being installed on that plane, and being impossible to install on that plane is unclear?
You are literally making shit up and looking stupid doing it.
That’s kind of their whole schtick.
Yeah I know. This is their own community where they are the only mod. I am assuming because they have lots of bans. I am a little surprised they haven’t banned me yet. I’m mostly replying to them in hopes other people won’t get sucked in.
Lemmy has got me seriously scared, you’re a bunch of absolute muppets.
Edit: This is literally anythinggoes, nobody gets banned for speaking their mind here.
Then leave you don’t have to be here. I won’t miss you.
Well maybe you could leave if you don’t like it, it’s not like I invited you here you absolute mongoloid. Are you all teenagers in here? Does your mom know you’re on the internet?
