That is truly heart breakingA photo taken and transmitted just before takeoff shows a family that was relocating to London.

Ouch!Good thing I sold all my Boeing stock a few months ago
I bought it around $150/share and sold for $180/share.Ouch!
It's still higher than it was then.
You'd have been better off keeping it and selling it now.
You missed out a lot. Could have doubled your profits, roughly. Not a "good thing" to have sold when you did.I bought it around $150/share and sold for $180/share.
So yeah, should have held it for longer, but I still made good cash on it.
Right now I might wait for it to drop again to around $170-180 and buy some more
I dont know anyone who can time the markets 100% all of the timeYou missed out a lot. Could have doubled your profits, roughly. Not a "good thing" to have sold when you did.
But if you are happy, then that matters more than reality, for sure
now there are reports, that 2 persons have survived ...
@AllanI can’t tell by looking at the video.
Attached is the checklist for the 787.
Maybe our resident airline pilots will chime in.
Ostroff is missing the forest for the trees. This new video of the takeoff roll is a bit grainy, but it appears that the flaps on the aircraft were fully retracted before lifting off the runway, and the landing gear remained down after liftoff. And if indeed that was the case, there was no way whatsoever that plane would stay airborne, even with both engines operating at full thrust. The question is how that happened.Jeff Ostroff talks about what might have caused the crash. 13 minutes.
I believe the 787 Dreamliner has a warning system that will alert the pilots when the aircraft is not properly configured for takeoff. What may have happened there, I suppose, will have to wait until both black boxes and the CVR are recovered and analyzed@Allan
As much as I understand when I talked to a pilot friend.
Boeing doesn't have security against somebody changing flap position on take off drastically only to some degree while Airbus have full "Alpha lock" that prevents that because 1 hypothesized scenario was that somebody accidentally changes the flaps position instead of lets say bringing the wheels up which might be the case here.
Stock prices and trading? Is that all you can think of in the wake of such a tragedy?Ouch!

Weird... didn't the other poster bring it up? That was their first thought, not mine.Stock prices and trading? Is that all you can think of in the wake of such a tragedy?
