Wrap up the investigation! Captain Steve has it concluded!

What a joke the internet is

I hate how often YouTube tries to push this dude’s videos on me. The most egregious one is that Irish pilot guy on there who talks smack about people’s landings. Can’t imagine being sad enough that that’s what I do on my days off.

I've been following this thread from the beginning, but have not read all the comments.

Has anyone thought/suggested that the RAT was manually deployed?

Apologies if this have been covered.

I crashed out and couldn’t handle it anymore, blocked him about a month ago

My Youtube is all golf, boats, and cars.

That makes me happy.

I believe you pressurize the hydraulic system and it will back drive the RAT rather than the other way around as it would work in an emergency

Despite all my rage,

If it in fact was, that is my baseline assumption. No evidence apparent in video to suggest some sort of catastrophic engine failure. Not that it didn't happen, but IMO nothing in this adds up to mechanical failure. Everyone talking about massive electrical system failure. I think people are reading too much into "FBW" and "Composites" and "new stuff" and maybe a little "well the 787 had some electrical gremlins in the early years". I could be wrong of course. But I have flown airplanes built by the same company, that have never had a total electrical failure in 28 years of service. Nor have the engines both shut down because of some weird electrical FADEC glitch. We have PMGs for that sh**. I'd assume an airliner certified to fly many more people than one has some redundancy. People are also not engineers, don't understand aircraft design or power distribution systems, and they also happen to want to blame Boeing for everything at the first opportunity. So color me a little skeptical on this one. It also makes me a little hot every time I read an article that begins with "in another set back for Boeing".......oh rly? Based on what, McKayla? Did your BA in communications a year ago qualify you to make that statement? GTFO and go back to quoting your NYC roommates about how home ownership is impossible

I hate this. It's all for the likes/shares/subscribes.

You could actually call me an expert since I've been in aviation for almost 40 years and "have done some other stuff" at the Air Line. But I literally have no idea and no opinion on what may have happened. There are too many variables and you really can't judge based on grainy video, ADS data and literally you have to wait until the CVR, the FDR and digesting all the data before you know.

I'm sure Steve is a nice guy but at some point, he's got to turn off the need for traffic and serve aviation by admitting he really hasn't a clue any more than my non-flying, have-been-once-on-an-airplane mother does.
