What happened to Air India flight 171?

 Last words, I am losing power and cannot get lift!

The loss of power could be a major mechanical failure, or it could be that the aircraft was too heavy with luggage, more than was expected?

Another factor was how long this Boeing dream liner had to move down the runway to get lift, it seemed to take-off midway thus it had nowhere to go but crash were it did! 

The death toll was 241, with one survivor and on the ground between 42 to 90 may have been burned to death?

The last alternative is that of terrorism and the suspicion of the one survivor who failed to rescue anyone but himself from the aircraft stunned or not!

Bus and Coaches. Part-Two.

Internet Access.

The history of the Coach and bus has progressed from moving just people from A to B/Z? Over the years comfort has been one consideration from curtains to smoking facilities? Ventilation to on board toilets and adaptions for sleeping and television.

Today both the single and double-deckers have internet facilities and chargers for all our electronic needs or demands? The coffee bar has been bi-passed and what the future holds is perhaps speed, because there is not much more that one can do with a coach or bus that has not been thought of?

Automated driving may be one course for the years ahead since many vehicles can access toll-gates without the need to stop.  Both the concept of the trailer and the bendy bus has come and gone, trolley buses of the 1950's were advanced for their time, perhaps a double decker bendy bus might be the next idea?
