Kenya 737 crash

[[email protected]]

It is sounding like the Kenya 737-800 may have suffered a dual engine
flameout in heavy rain, similar to this event:

Seems like quite a long shot. The Kenya plane was at climb out power,
the incidents on record of flame out from excess water were at idle
throttle (during descent). Interesting that the plane was only 6
months old.

That isn't very likely, as the aircraft was probably at climb power, as the
other poster suggested.

It is far too early to guess at a cause. There are lots of options, such
as the following list:

- In-flight breakup because of an encounter with heavy turbulance.
- Lightning strike causing loss of navigation instruments or controls.
- Malfunction of flight control surfaces.
- Sabotage or hijacking.
- Some type of crew distraction that caused them to lose situational
awareness.
- Collision with a large buzzard.

Yes, many of those possibilities are highly improbable, but when all one
has is a smoking hole without any other information, anything is possible.
Might as well have a OUIJA board do the analysis as guess at a cause.

I'll guess pilot error. The aircraft was too new to have much wrong with it,
even with poor maintenance--otherwise it would be a toss-up between pilot
error and improper maintenance.

Or maybe it was the blue screen of death... no, wait, that only
happens to you!

and now you know more than a trained accident investigator.

What an asshole you are.

Dean, you are forgetting about AirBus aircraft. For them, it usually
happens during taxi.

I can't even begin to imagine how you can to that conclusion.
