FAA's (in)action reminds me of the time 787 was released and had issues with Lithium batteries malfunctioning. They grounded the 787 craft only after All Nippon Airways grounded them, after 2-3 flight emergencies. In other words, behind the curve on their job to keep public safe. I cannot imagine an...

I hate to say this but these pictures say a lot, and maybe the probable cause. It is what the pictures dont show that is very telling. No large parts in vicinity. Usually photographers go for larger parts ...these ones are all small. None of the pictures show any large parts, let alone a portion rec...

1. This crash will be a lot more difficult for Boeing to dismiss/sweep aside. IT happened on land and there will be pictures for it on the web. 2. It is already making the front page news for main websites. A lot of Americans fly to Africa to be one with nature, lion safari etc., especially the well...

SriKumar

[quote="chola" ] Two massive events like this so soon after the type's delivery -- the second involving a very well respected airline -- would kill the future of any plane I would think. Especially one with an established competitor like the A330neo. But it is Boeing afterall. Unprecedente...

SriKumar

singha.....the official Airlines release uses the word 'accident'. so if they were careful with their wording, it seems to rule out al shahab activity.

SriKumar

Atleast the CVR and FDR will be recovered quickly since this happened on land. The Lion air event was over sea....(100 ft deep?) and the debris was another 30 ft or so under sea bed !! It is unbeliebable (gives on an idea of how the craft was going in its final moments). prayers for the passengers a...

Myanmar raid was not an airstrike. Ground forces assaulted the terrorist camp. In fact, I dont believe any air assets were used anywhere in the raid (forget Uri movie) except when dropping off the troops, and they were dropped off about many kms inside Indian border and trekked by foot after that.

SriKumar

A general note- structure being intact can actually be worse for the people inside. The blast wave and the fireball will be contained inside the building walls and not get out.
Survivors will have massive tissue damage from blast and fire.

SriKumar

I'm not 100% certain, but I think the coordinates that Nathan Ruser's estimate of the target corresponds to 34°27'50.25"N. 73°19'6.48"E or in decimal degrees: 34.463957°, 73.318466° This is different from the other locations suggested: 1. Somewhere around Jaba: 34.433055,73.324516 2. Batr...

hgupta- google Sarabjit Singh and see how he was killed 6 years ago. (O/T).
Pakistanis will understand the constraints very well. They too have them.

SriKumar

Guys, I STILL CANNOT understand how Terroristsn was forced to hand back the Wing Cdr in 2 dins. Note fate of the poor businessman sitting sentenced to death in Paki jail, etc. All the high-sounding stuff about Jiin-e-Va Convention is so much Berkeley-Stanford. PAKIS? Geneva Convention? It might be ...

SriKumar

The PoK Kashmiris must love their PAF and PA protectors. Which Pakistani pilot will now feel safe between the RAdcliffe line and LOC. If they get shot down, they are better off crashing with the plane. Good point to troll some pakis. Yes, and an even better way would be: Pakistani jets are not safe...

SriKumar

So it is confirmed that the Pakistani F-16 pilot who landed alive was beaten to death (!! :eek: ) by civilians that met up with him. I dont think it can be a case of mistaken identity- the pilot suit usually carries a patch of the PAkistan flag on the left shoulder. It must have been deliberate- whi...

SriKumar

Wow. US is turning up the pressure.
That China could do nothing so far is a major loss of face.

SriKumar

In fact Musharraf was asked in the White House during his visit with Bush and he said bin laden is not in Pakistan. There is a video of it somewhere

SriKumar

^^^ THe twitter handle you linked to says: Pakistan ZIndabad. It is a Pakistani guy's website (must have been one of 100s of guests who showed up....I can imagine that some ready shady, two-bit characters also come to read this website, as a guest.).

SriKumar

Guys
A lot of the guests on the forum will likely be Pakistanis- civvies, journos and some shady characters. Please be careful of what you post- not just substance but style, etc .

Just echoing the requests by Rakesh in his first post on this thread.

SriKumar

1. Such situations can happen again i.e. IAF will need to fight over Pakistani airspace. At some point, someone will get shot down. 2. The reverse can be true. Unless PAF decides to never cross into Indian airspace, they can expect their pilots to be in Indian hands at some point. Their pilots too n...

SriKumar

Quick comment- it is good that they showed a video of the pilot alive and well (man handled or otherwise). This means that he is a POW and they are responsible for him now. Recall that during Kargil there was no video released of Sqn leader Ahuja ..... but there was one Flt. Lt. of Nachiketa .....he...

Guys for your viewing pleasure. We all watched it back in 2014 and waited for it. For one day we knew that Modiji would be given the chance and he would grab it with both hands!

SriKumar

If they had any brains- which I think some of them do, they would ask themselves: which aggressive act from their side will NOT invite another retaliation. Well, I cannot think of one...other than a terrorist attack that kills 2-3 civilians, or cross-border shelling (which they are already doing). I...

Let me say this the LoC will open to Pakistani airforce strike today evening. mark my words. Im the Dim cannot take it lying down. Let me just say this....it is not Im The Dim's decision, and even he knows that. He's the new kid on the block and his job is to say 'Ji Huzoor' (Yessir) to what the Pa...

Chetak...this topic is OT for this thread but make no mistake...Dokalam ended up being a standoff only and only because China blinked and deliberately declined to escalate. China knew that if they had escalated, eent ka jawaab pahtar se milta. And discretion being the better part of valor, they slun...

SriKumar

This would taken the hans by surprise as well, and it also puts them on notice that a new sheriff is in town and not what they expected like from the previous docile and cheeni servile dispensations. I doubt the Chinese would be surprised at all. India not only stopped them physically in Dokalam, t...

SriKumar

This is moment of reckoning, and next one week is a challenging time for India. . Watch out for China, and Islamic Coalition.. No such problem maaan. Dont worry....have curry. China is still puzzling about Dokalam and why India told them to eff off...this was jsut a year ago. As far as Pakistan is ...

SriKumar

What does that tell you about their monitoring? Rakesh, they detected us for sure and just got out of the way. Since you posted this comment, Karan, I give you this.....from the past: Pakistan's response to Indian surgical operation in Burma. Pakistan is not Myanmar, will respond to foreign aggress...

SriKumar

Funny thing is that Pakistani air defences would have been on full alert this close after Pulwama. No surprise factor here.....and still the aircraft got in, bombed and got out. Total chaddi utaroing here.

What would be the proposed timeframe for indian attack? If you look at Pak media, it seems they gamed this one and are therefore ready. . Pak Army/AF would have been on full alert hours/day(s) before the attack took place. It would have been a part of the preparation for the terrorist attack. Any I...

it seems DGCA has restricted the ETOPS to 60min not just for Indigo/Go A321neo but Jet airways 737MAX also.

Congress has no locus standi on this matter of EVMs. During MMS's term, a flaw (maybe 2) were demonstrated publicly- about 7-8 years ago. It was shown on chennel TV9 (AP) and no other chennel.
