Plane Crashes

Another video from Jeff Ostroff (an engineer) on Air India 171's RAT deployment timestamp. He thinks it most likely deployed 4 seconds after take off based on the peliminary report. (19 minute video).

 
Here is a video representation of what happened. the pilot was evading a Hawking Hunter fighter jet belonging to a defense contractor.

This is a SkyWest pilot, the company I worked for and my husband flies for as a Captain.

Great work crew! The passengers sound like they reacted sensibly too. That’s a huge plus.

Does this happen often where commercial airliners have to evade military/contractor jets:? Or is it a new thing?

Another Video about the cause of the AI 171 plane crash. This video says, one of the sensor that supposed to monitor whether plane is on the ground or air, 'malfunctioned' and marked it on the ground. Malfunctioned is a wrong word as the sensor is still functioning and too sure of its data. This info. is fed to automated system that didn't allow human intervention. So plane is paralyzed in the mid air- called "system confusion".

It looks Boeing sent a update to the software few days before the crash and DIDN'T mark it as a urgent. It was not clear what this software update supposed to be correcting. It looks another pilot in europe observed the problem and notified Boeing 4 years back, but ignored it as a "statistically insignificant".


Obvious question is what contributed to the sensor misreading the Plane's state? Any cosmic rays on the electronics?
 
Flight AI 171

Maybe the universe is telling us something, like a warning revolving the near and far future. Words who in my opinion go deeper than what meets the eye/ear. Apply that to other automated things in life... like in defense / military installations for example. And God knows what else...

Extract from the above video

"AI Systems too smart to question themselves, too confident to handcontrol back to humans, (and too ridged to survive when reality disagrees)"

Interesting article. His analysis and claim is that the RAT deployed before engine shutdown. This means the root cause is an electrical issue. There was an air worthiness directive that was (apparently) not followed up on by the airline. This analysis is consistent with the survivor’s statement that there was an electrical “glitch” just prior to shutdown. This tends to remove suspicion of “pilot error” and place the blame on poor maintenance and the airline has already fired some high level personnel. But also, I’m troubled by Boeing. Why have a design where a leaky toilet can short out a critical electrical system?

If the power goes off this could alias to activating the cutoff switches. It explains the observations better than any other analysis I have read.
