….they did say warning sirens go off if the flaps are not engaged.

I believe an Indian governmental official has suggested a suspicion of a hydraulic or total electrical failure. Concorde in Paris encountered a ten foot bar on the runway that was picked up by a set of the rear wheels and launched upwards through the lower wing which held the fuel. This accident hasn't ruled bird strike out yet. It's taken some force to snap the fuselage in two, the description by the survivor seems to be the plane has snapped and an explosion has pushed him out of the section he was seated. Maybe shock explains how he was so nonchalant, because if I'd not been running and screaming after such a miracle, then I'd have been worshipping the ground I'd somehow ended up on.
Just as an aside, it's fallen on a block of buildings that are full of medical students? Don't these end up working 20 hour shifts? How much sleep can they get 15 seconds under the take off from the runway? I thought Dr's and such got a grim fate here. Rip all. It's been a terrible year for air accidents already, and it's only June 12th.

We flew back from Cyprus on one as it goes, and from San Francisco last autumn. Really comfortable aircraft, more so than the A380 we flew out to the States on.
You flying with TUI?
Israel just bombed Iran

Severe case of survivor's guilt considering he lost a relative.

Man just up and walked away from a massive plane crash. Absolutely unbelievable. Luckiest man on the planet, although he won't feel that way especially after losing his brother in the flight.
Genuinely might be the most astonishing thing I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen Tony Hibbert score a free kick.

I didn't realise Iran is so weak nowadays. Just seen their 'retaliation' was sending in a few dozen drones.
….yep, it’s usually a Dreamliner on that route.

I don't pretend to understand what's going on in that area - I'm just grateful I'm far away from it. But I really don't get the enormous support Israel gets from the US and UK IRRESPECTIVE of what it does. Surely war crimes have been committed and now this open aggression.
I do observe that any comments not supporting Israel wholeheartedly quickly attract attacks and labels of antisemitism from the UK and US media, so maybe I'm being brave speaking up - but bleeding heck - have they gone postal? Put Netenyahu in the same bin as Putin please.
And cut Internet to Gaza and the West Bank.
…241 of 242 onboard the plane were killed and he walks away with a slight limp and a few stains on his white t-shirt, absolutely incredible.
