Years earlier, she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror.

    Sounds like the planes Boeing sent to India had foreign object debris rattling around inside conduits.

    That’s a ticking time bomb for random electrical failures, such as both engines shutting down right after takeoff.

      If it was from electrical failure, it’d be more likely to happen in the pilot’s thrust control than simultaneously in both engines. But usually if both engines fail after take off…my money is on fuel system failure.
