...Space-X; a big step forward Boeing is paying for.

The mission has started to save two astronauts marooned.

(Will Musk buy Boeing?)

787 Dreamliner crash. Fatality reports vary at the moment. It seems some are medical students in the building the aircraft crashed onto:

Just one survivor:

In the photo, it is shown that the fuel supply switches, which preliminary investigations indicate caused the disaster of Air India Flight 171—resulting in the loss of 260 lives—were involved.
Reportedly, three seconds after the aircraft took off from the ground, the fuel supply switches for the engines moved from the "Run" position to the "Cutoff" position, effectively shutting off the fuel supply. First, one switch changed position, followed by the other. This caused an immediate cessation of fuel flow and led to the stopping of the engines.
As a result, the airliner began to rapidly lose speed and altitude. Moments later, one of the pilots asked the other, “Why did you turn off the engines?” The second pilot responded, “I did not do this.”
Ten seconds after the engines were disconnected from the fuel supply, the switch for one engine moved back to the "Run" position. Four seconds later, the second switch also moved.
In the subsequent seconds, the automatic control system attempted to restart the engines. The first engine began to gain momentum, but the second did not catch up in time. The thrust from the one operating engine at low speeds was insufficient to prevent the aircraft's descent.
The design of the fuel supply switches makes it nearly impossible to accidentally switch them; each switch requires pulling it upward before moving it to another position. They are also distinctly placed away from the landing gear lever, minimizing the chance of confusion.
While this information clarifies some aspects of the incident, we should refrain from making hasty conclusions and wait for the final results of the investigation.

I smell a rat, and I do not mean the RAT, Ram Air Turnbine!

Let’s start with the voices where one pilot asks the other why he cut the engines, and the other saying, “I did not do that”. Surely it must be know through the Cockpit Voice Recorder as to which pilot said what, so why not identify the pilots. It was reported that the First Officer was the pilot flying the plane and the Captain was monitoring.

Earlier on, the malfunctioning of the captain's seat moving backwards suddenly without input may have had the Captain stretch out his hands to hold onto something could have grabbed the fuel cutoff switches accidentally without realizing it, which could be plausible, but that scenario seems to have been forgotten at the moment to something more deliberately intended by the actions of one of the cockpit crew member basically committing suicide with mass homicide so soon after takeoff. Hardly believable!

It seems to me someone is trying very hard to put the blame of the crash on the pilots at this stage. Why? This is the question which should be asked!
