Fuel to Air India Plane Was Cut Off Before Crash, Report Says
It appears that that Air India crash might have been caused by Pilot Error. While it’s still early to be conclusive the black boxes do seem to confirm that there were no mechanical issues and that the fuel was cut off and caught the attention of the pilots.
The captain had 10,000 hours and the first officer had 3,400.
It’s frowned upon in Christian countries too, I’m not sure if that has a huge amount of bearing, though I strongly disbelieve the suicide guess.
I mean I feel like it’s more specifically a Catholic thing then it it is a Christian thing. Maybe Protestants are like that too but from my time as a Methodist they did not care about suicide as a sin. They were much more concerned about you know getting you help professionally.
It’s probably specific to region because the majority of people in my general region for several states is “they’re going to hell.” Obviously the victims already were in hell or it wouldn’t have happened, and I find this attitude particularly disturbing, but I’m the obvious outlier, here.
There are a lot of more conservative/fundamentalist protestants who will also tell you that you will go to Hell for suicide, but I’m sure there are places and denominations where that’s not true.
I’m super glad my parents weren’t really religious so I got to miss out on this particular flavor of suck
