The lack of a gate on that switch should be readily apparent to the operator when both starting and shutting down the a/c engines. minor point either way either it was documented as a complete inspection or not.

Yes, the switches were moved to cut off, and back to run (just like the emergency procedure calls for in a dual engine failure) why were they moved is the question, I am not aware of any released information that precludes some indication of a dual engine failure prior to the switch movement?

You seem very invested in this event, do you have some connection to it?

A few more bits. That inspection is very simple and does not take any technical skill to perform. Any pilot with enough experience to sit in the front seat should recognize that the fuel control switches were not airworthy if the safety gate was not functional. (let alone an AMT).

It is highly unlikely those switches were moved by accident. They must be grasped with some force and lifted up over the gate before moving down. Then the other one, They are too far apart to move both with one hand, on purpose no doubt.

Also, the underlined immediate memory action steps for a dual engine failure on this aircraft includes moving both of these switches to cutoff and then to run as step three of the emergency procedure.

There is still not enough information released yet to come to a conclusion about the cause of this accident.

Complete lack of details about what problem this device solves for the consumer. From the story it seems to be a box full of spyware and sensors to gain even more granularity about your life to sell. I don't see how a device that you can't explain the benefit of will be a commercial success.

You said "sorry, I dont want to be brutally murdered" Then you quoted statistics about "suicides... accidents or justified" And of course the racism to take it over the top. You made a claim, didn't find the evidence to back up your claim then used an attempt to muddy the water with anecdotes that are not germane to the claim you made.

On a hunch I took a quick look at your post history, I see you are neuro-atypical, seek help brother, there are many resources available, it is never too late, you dont have to live like this.

>Sorry, but declining vaccine efficiency was expected from day one, interesting claim, got a source? I sure didn't hear anyone at the rollout talking about how this vax would only be good for a few months then have declining effectiveness. Or hear them claim, you will still get sick, and will still spread covid, but you wont die as much after taking this medicine, for a few months. Why hasn't declining efficiency happened with other vax? If there is declining efficiency of the vax, aren't we just selecting for a more "efficient" virus in that case?

>We still don't know the origin of COVID, but lab leak is below the 50% line. What is the "line" Who drew the line? A bat 1000km away from the first case giving the virus to a pangolin who then infected 3 lab workers who work at a *CORONA VIRUS RESEARCH CENTER* that was doing gain of function research on...coronavirus sounds pretty complicated.

>it was never "save limited supply of N-95 masks for those most exposed" that's revisionism. be honest about what was said and claimed.

>for some reason? Most governments world wide are happy to keep their foot down on the FUD pedal to use the ensuing chaos to exert even more control over other peoples lives.

So to me your entire post sounds like "I like to be mean and cruel to other humans because I find it fun, and these conditions give me a way to engage in my sadism without social censure"
