Preliminary report into Air India crash released

it makes sense to me that the pilot who said "I did not do it" actually did do it without realizing it, was supposed to be putting the landing gear up when he committed a muscle memory mistake. it happened around the time the landing gear should be up, and this explanation matches what was said in the cockpit, and the fact that the landing gear wasn't retracted. I think this idea was even floated initially by the youtube pilot/analysts I watch but dismissed as unlikely.

There is no possible way to confuse these two actions. There's a reason a wheel is attached to the gear lever.

Sometimes people put cleaning liquid in the fridge.

Given a long enough span of time, every possible fuck up eventually will happen.

Probably time to design a plane that can't be sent into terrain in seconds by flipping a switch.

Now try to design a plane that also lets you rapidly shutoff fuel to both engines in case of fire.
