"The Minister says the emergency response is on a “war footing”. Hopefully that is just a precaution pending discovery of the cause. " I've just seen a short clip of the plane going down and it didn't seem like there'd been any kind of explosion. There was a massive fireball as it hit the ground though, straight into a residential area. | |||

Definitely wasn't on fire or had a hole in it. | |||

"The worst thing about take-off is that the volume of flammable liquid is at its maximum for the journey." And statistically take off is the most likely time for an aircraft to go down! Awful for the families. | |||

Unbelievably lucky, he's not even badly injured, but the poor guy lost his Brother who was seated in another row. Boeing really are going through the worst patch ever at the moment. | |||

" There are few media outlets that are more accurate than the BBC, BBC Verify is excellent. In the early stages of incidents such as this they make it clear that they are relying to some extent on local sources. | |||

"Boeing really are going through the worst patch ever at the moment. Yep, if it's a Boeing, I ain't going." Your choice, but the cause could be a number of things not related to the plane. The plane had lost its ability to stay in the air, so maybe the cargo and bags were badly loaded and it was out of trim or maybe the flaps weren't set correctly. It's all speculation at this point, but the pilots must've felt ok with continuing with the take-off run and going into the air. That plane should be making its decent into Gatwick around now, but it's not. There will be staff at Gatwick now who should be getting ready to check-in and board passengers for the plane's return flight. The crew who were due to operate that flight back to Ahmedabad would've more than likely knew the crew involved. It's all just horrible. | |||

"Still the most relatively safest way of travel there is. Maybe if it took off at the beginning of the runway instead of joining the runway half way down, it would have had the correct speed and flap settings 🤔" What a silly comment, if it got off the runway, which it did,then it must have reached take off velocity. What actually happened in this terrible tragedy will become known when aviation experts and voice and flight recorders are examined. | |||

"Heart-breaking to see the final photos from the airport and the aircraft being picked up by media from the socials. Among them Jamie Meek, 45, and his husband Fiongal Greenlaw, 39. They ran the Wellness Foundry, a health and wellness lifestyle company that offers psychic readings, tarot, reiki, and yoga in the English cities of London and Ramsgate. The couple began dating in 2019 and married in various ceremonies. "Oh Lord! Sad beyond what words alone could ever express. 😓 Requiescant in Pace. ✝️🌿 | |||

"The gay couple had a 'wellness' business in Ramsgate offering retreats and courses on psychic development. This will sound sarcastic and it's not meant to be, but I wonder if they had a sense of foreboding yesterday before getting on the plane... If they did, did they ignore it? If they didn't, is there anything in what they were teaching?" They posted a video of them inside the airport, reflecting on their holiday, before boarding the plane home | |||

"Saw a video by an airline captain who had obtained a better video. He pointed out that the Ram Air Turbine had deployed. Indicates either complete a failure of electrical or hydraulics systems, or failure of two engines. Black box will confirm of course." RAT deployed plus loss of lift at a critical phase indicates loss of thrust. Either total loss of electrics or wrong lever pulled. Yes, black box will detail actions and words of the crew. | |||
