Air India - Boeing Crash 2025-06-12

A bit if both but mostly the second.

For the question of responsibility, it’s sort of an engineering ethics thing; I don’t want to use my expertise and make it seem like I’m issuing a professional opinion when I do not have the data to substantiate the position.

But I’m also definitely waiting on data. These things are complicated. Whatever I know about the particular details of finding system safety compliance (which is a fair bit), I’m a total noob at it. Whatever the media seems to say is usually only part of the story. Right now, we just don’t know anything at all. And I am not a pilot (which is good for the planet) and not a flight controls or engines specialist. I will scrutinize the seat and survivability data for the survivor to the nth degree, but I cannot speak authoritatively on this accident. Which brings me back to #1.
