I would like to speculate about the Air India flight that crash during takeoff.

I have a technical theory that the B-787 crashed because it had not been refueled from the previous flight it had made and they attempted takeoff with low fuel.

I doubt it as both pilots would have to ignore the fuel gauge. I would also doubt the gauge was broken. I'm not saying it was impossible but the one surviving passenger said there was a banging or loud boom shortly before the crash.

Ignoring the fuel status before takeoff on passenger aircraft have been documented many times before, necessitating an immediate return to land upon this discovery this issue in flight.

@SandWitch yeah but that still doesn't explain the sound before the crash that's not consistent with an engine stall but anything is possible. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough

@Turtlepower
Of course a bang-sound is consistent with the sound of an engine stall! What do you think an jet engine stall sounds like?

@SandWitch Sorry, you're right. I've been half asleep, I meant that the fuel hypothesis may not cause an engine stall event type sound but it can. The video did look like it was simply gliding
