The report mentions that the switches changed position. Those switches do not have motors. That means they physically moved.
That is the part you drew a false conclusion without understanding. Something not having a motor does not mean bits in a computer do not get flipped. The 787 uses a fly by wire system. Computer bits can get flipped. Programming can flip the bits. Do I need to say this slower for you?
Requiring that they say the switches were physically moved is fucking bizarre.
No one said anything about "Requiring". You are using strawman tactics.
The report mentions that the switches changed position
NO. The report specifically the flight data recorder logged a change in position. That does not mean necessarily mean the switches changed position. Again, please read up on fly by wire systems.
There is a mechanical blocker that prevents from from going down without being lifted up first. There's never been a single recorded case of those "failing",
But then they unfailed when they were switched back to run 3 seconds later after the pilot queried why they had been cutoff, with a delay in between each, and then they stayed in that position.
First of all it was 6 seconds before Engine 1's switch was recorded to RUN. Then Engine 2 shortly after that. Facts matter. But you have evidence the pilot physically switched them back? Please provide such evidence to the proper authorities as they would like to have. Oh you don't?
In the summary of the article, it mentioned an exact recorded case. Did you not bother to read the summary?
And you need to quit trying to project emotions onto anonymous people on the internet. Maybe it helps you handle the communications- but nothing about this conversation brings me anywhere close to anything that can be called anger.
You:"Fucking hell . .
Also you: "quit trying to project emotions"
That statement is ironic at best.
