Summary

The recording discusses the analysis of a recent Air India 787 crash in India, focusing on new video evidence that has emerged. Initially, three theories were considered: dual engine failure, improper flap setting, and premature flap retraction.

The speaker, Captain Steve, shifts his analysis towards a dual engine failure due to the deployment of the RAM air turbine (RAT), which provides emergency power in such scenarios. The new video, clearer than previous versions, shows the RAT deployed, and the audio captures its distinctive sound.

An eyewitness survivor reported a loud bang and flickering lights, supporting the dual engine failure theory.

Conclusion and Need for Further Investigation
