Has that been given as a possible cause?

Sorry just seen your post above, that is insane you would think by now they would have developed something to prevent that happening

Yes Dreamliner claims they can handle a Bird strike.


But if this was a Massive Flock
Hitting both engines?

Yes can only land,
on a runway.


They contacted the airport.


I assume it could be talking about,
Massive Birds hitting both big engines

no, this is not terrorism, i had thought of that too i do admit, due to there having been a former (controversial) politician among the passengers


but the explosions eyewitnesses heard were most likely after the impact with the ground



i'm thinking maybe the wrong flaps configuration, or forgot to set the flaps entirely in their pre-take off checklist, since it struggled to get off the ground, flaps help generate lift during take off, forgetting them wouldn't be the first time this had happened and ended up as a fatal error, like Northwest Airlines Flight 255 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northw...nes_Flight_255

Correction on all dead

Police in India are now reporting
a survivor.


One is confirmed as a British National.

One Survivor said he heard
A loud noise?
