There is no known scenario that could cause a 787 to lose both engines simultaneously on takeoff. Every single essential system has multiple redundancies that make it virtually impossible for incidents like this to happen. There are no signs of a bird strike, no other aircraft from the airport reporting fuel contamination, and no video evidence suggesting visual signs of an engine malfunction prior to the apparent loss of thrust.
IF there actually was a defect with the aircraft... some obscure fly-by-wire bug caused by an errant sensor or something along those lines... airlines, regulators, Boeing, & GE would be all over the investigation and every 787 would be grounded while they figured out the root cause.
Instead of that, it's been nearly a month since the crash, FDR data is downloaded, and the Indian government has been virtually silent the entire time. They are due to release a preliminary report on Friday the 11th, but, some are expecting it to be super vague... "the plane crashed, we have recovered the data, we are investigating."
All of this is making some aviation experts speculate that the Indian government already knows what happened and that it was likely a suicide, intentional sabotage from the flight deck, or a massive case of pilot error and they're trying to figure out how to spin it. Either you have a one in a billion scenario, or someone on the flight deck cut off fuel to the engines. What will be the political implications for India if this is the case?
