Magnitude 7.1 earthquake hits southern Japan, 13 had been confirmed dead

It is more fun criticizing


A magnitude 7.1 (7 or 6.8 based on conflicting assessment) has hit southern Japan, Kyushu island, with 13 confirmed dead.  The airport was closed, train service ceased, water and electricity service stopped.   With hundreds of thousand evacuated due to aftershocks...  There was a tsunami warning which was later lifted.  

The 2nd floor of Aeon mall collapsed, and there was a reported gas explosion.   Employees and guests were trapped.  

This tops the suffering of Japanese;  this is on top of rains and flooding they are all ready suffering

We sympathize and we are with the people of Japan and victims at Kyushu island in this terrible disaster.

A swarm of earthquakes also hit the Philippines Wednesday 77 in all... with 4 in magnitude 5 and above

Hot conditions prior to take off could have triggered vapor lock and loss of power in Air India AI 171, consequently its crash - one of the various theories on Air India crash

It is more fun criticizing

The hot conditions at noon time reaching over 100 degrees Fahrenheit could have caused a vapor lock that caused compression stall leading to loss of thrust, a video theorized today.

It could have been similar to the explosion of TWA flight explosion of 1996 which similarly sat out a hot condition at the tarmac.    TWA explosion of 1996   The TWA explosion might have been triggered by the operations of the air conditioning;     the Air India vapor lock by lack of air conditioning.  But it was the hot afternoon that could have been the cause.  

No pilot error, no too early retraction of flaps, no late retraction of landing gear.  No Boeing manufacturing faults.   Just that too hot conditions for fuel leading to vapor lock leading to compression stall, engine failures.   AOG....    However, plane technicians and experts say that vapor lock is not possible with modern  jet engines since they are equipped with high pressure pumps


Can we stop take offs when conditions are hot.   It also causes the loss of lift due to less dense air molecules.   

Others theorized that FEDAC computers caused the engine shutdown
