It is the same woman b the Barkha Dutt interviewed that Article is talking about. She claims it could be a sw glitch and should be investigated further

 

Mary Schiavo has some past vendetta against Boeing, don't take her too seriously. 

 

Also, software glitches don't move switches mechanically from on to off. Not to forget that the switches were later moved from off to on before the crash indicating mechanical movements instead of a software interference.

Mechanical movements tto switch back to run took  more than 4-6 seconds, while the initial “transition “  took less than. Second

Looks like pilots lit up fire in this engine. Boeing ki koi galti nahi 

 

 

Boeing 767 was first inducted by Delta in 1982. This could be a servicing and maintenance problem from airlines.

You still cannot expect a software glitch to move switches mechanically from on to off. Fuel being cutoff while the switches are still in on positon can be caused by a software glitch, but that's not the case here since the first officer was able to visually verify switches being in off position

Not that I am saying below can happen, but they are in the realm of possibilities.

- software can control relay switches.. that can change the position. 

- Or else software can override and cutoff the fuel flow..

Relay switches have locking mechanism so it doesn't seem like they can be controlled by software.

I have worked in Telecom for most part, ,mostly on Base Station software in areas of what is generally called OA&M. I have been involved in so many s/w features that reads hardware registers of heat sensors, radiation , and take hardware actions like turning on fans, shutting off calls or handing off calls to next base stations that are not overloaded (s/w action) , hardware units , under what we called as Overloaded condition.  I can imagine if there is s/w that takes hardware actions like in a Airplane that has many moving parts dealing with hydraulicas, thrust, heat, fuel, fire, accidental actions by pilots etc. I am pretty sure s/w actions on hardware is a reality in most Self-Organized-Networking software.

If this turns out to be accurate, it is massive safety issue & Boeing, Amuricans will be screwed!

 

 

Oh man..this is horrible..why does it happen only in India, all over the world they would be using boeing Planes? Sabotage?

 

Btw Railways in India by stats is safer than air travel,  If you consider derailment and collision deaths alone.

Could be an issue with a batch, who knows. Let them investigate.

They will be covering their asses and will never admit even if this is what happened during that AI 171. 

 

They will bribe everyone to save their behinds.Hope for the sake of those innocent lives lost people who are incharge would want to get justice for them.

 

Boeing has become just piece of junk as company with no morality.

Boeing might be crap, but dont fall for incomplete news like these. You cannot manipulate manufacturing like that.

 

It's NDTV by the way, owned by the same person to whom our PM reports to. By the way, this could be a tactical move to put US under pressure (after that Hindenburg report).
