Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
India's position on Agri, Dairy and Pharma sectors is decades old and everyone knows this, and any level headed person can see why. If they are asking for stuff they know we will not and cannot accept, it shows that the US does not want the deal to go through. They will use this as a stick to extrac...

3 points floating around : 1. Flaps setting given 37°C temp. Hard to discern from videos what was set. 0 or 5 or 10° . Hot weather reduces air density hence less lift, needs greater take off speed before rotation. 787 has an alarm if flaps left at 0 2. Gear down after take off - not clear how this c...

Tragic event. From nose up to stall, the plane was airborne for hardly 15 secs. And then it fell on the ground while maintaining wings nearly level in the next 10 secs or so. Pilots called mayday, reported loss of thrust. They were not trying to land, they hardly took off. Loss of thrust in both eng...
