I was browsing Reddit for some reason yesterday and came across a post relating to this series of stills.
My first and overwhelming reaction was closer to wonder or amazement (that's probably not the right word but I'm not a smart man) at the left engine just sort of fucking off to go elsewhere instead of forward.
Then I remembered that there were humans on that plane. A couple-few people just going thru the motions of a normal day for them. One more flight in a seemingly endless run of them. The ones on th ground who were just going about their normal day and maybe thinking about dinner, or trying to scratch their foot with their other foot because their hands were full...
I wonder if the men and women who worked on that plane are thinking about what they worked on, did they overlook something? Were they themselves thinking about what to make for dinner, or thinking about upcoming car repairs when performing work on that particular plane, and overlooked something crucial?
The whole thing is a tragedy on so many levels. I hope the families affected find some peace.
I'm friends with some airplane mechanics including a couple people that work for global logistics companies. The mechanics who worked on that plane are not just worried about if they overlooked something: they're potentially criminally liable actually.
