Where did Ruben Amorim say that Manchester United will suffer again?
Maybe WATCH the interview instead of starting your agendas up again. x.com/terryflewers/s…

@total__battle You mean ......world protects the super wealthy A LOT.
I'm a Blackburn fan but this decision is disgraceful.

@IvensDad Would a Take Off Config test,done just before applying throttles, not show a warning horn if Flaps 1 set instead of Flaps 5?

😓 Air India 🇮🇳 Flight AI171 with fully loaded Boeing 787-7 Dreamliner fatal accident:
I‘m an airline pilot with >15‘000h of experience and a physics institute:
My brief PRELIMINARY analysis of the visible facts from the video of the takeoff:
* The flaps are only slightly extended, presumably to position 1 instead of 5.
* The landing gear is still extended, which should have been retracted at this altitude and causes additional drag.
* The aircraft is at a high angle of attack, which confirms the insufficient flap setting.
* From the video and witness accounts, only low engine noise is audible.
* Neither smoke nor fire is visible.
* An engine failure is less likely.
The most probable cause is presumably a human factor, an incorrectly chosen, insufficient flap setting for takeoff, and consequently an inadequately selected thrust.
In this context, the correlated speeds were too low because they were calculated for a larger flap setting or a lighter aircraft.
As a result, the aircraft took off with insufficient speed and intentionally but falsely derated thrust, was therefore on the unstable side, and rapidly lost more speed and altitude due to the additional failure to retract the landing gear in a timely manner, leading to a subsequent stall at low altitude and crash.
For the experts: the aircraft got onto the wrong side of the speed vs drag curve and maneuvered itself into a corner from where there is no escape.
Another possible cause could also have been an incorrect input of a wrong takeoff weight into the Flight Management System, resulting in too low thrust and too low speeds.
The pilots got startled after takeoff, couldn’t wrap their head around what went wrong and incorrectly prioritized making an emergency call instead of flying the aircraft first, manually increasing thrust immediately to maximum, and retracting the landing gear.
In summary of this very early and preliminary assessment (your confidence level should be as low as mine):
The most probable cause is human error 😓 - as most of the time these days. Not because the pilots got worse (although that effect can be observed as well with prioritization of diversity over competence) - but because technology got so much better.

I’ve never voted Labour in my life but just remember by the end of the Tory’s 14 corrupt years in power they couldn’t get ten of them in a room to decide the date of the election without half of them running out after to place illegal bets on it 😐

Sad to report 🇳🇿Royal New Zealand Navy's hydrographic survey and diving support ship HMNZS Manawanui ran aground, caught fire and sank off Samoa while doing a reef survey yesterday evening.
75 crew on board are reported safe ashore.

@SouthportAir So driver plus passenger is £10 for car + £24 =£34.That's shocking.

Im a Blackburn fan and we are currently very bad- likely League 1 on current form. MUFC might be joining us soom. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.Ten Hag will be gone from Ineos very soon based on tonight's performance.Dont tell my wife I posted this - she's an Old Traffird Mancunian girl. 🤣🤣
