  • there is no evidence of that happening. we know that engines did not get fuel. the other pilot asked first pilot if they cut of the fuel, and they replied that i did not (from the black box recordings afaik).

    https://aaib.gov.in/What’s New Assets/Preliminary Report VT-ANB.pdf

    The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off

    That is from the flight data recorder. The switches were moved.

    In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so.

    the other pilot asked first pilot if they cut of the fuel,

    The other pilot asked WHY they cut the fuel, not IF they had done so.


    I stand by my original comment. We only know

    1. Two pilots
    2. One cut the fuel
    3. One restored fuel

    That is likely all we will ever know. But the signs point to intentional action to disable the ship.

    Air India Tragedy | The Pilots Tried to Save the Airplane

    I’ve watched the video, he dismisses the AAIB preliminary report speed data as incorrect, THEN uses that same data to establish his theory about the engines. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, you have to either use the data, or not use the data.

    Mr Sabin assumes both pilots are of the same mind and any attempt to not crash shows the lack of self-sabatoge. Imagine a depressed pilot letting their intrusive thoughts win, just for a moment, and switch the fuel cutoff switches… They are likely in shock, not believing what they have done. The other pilot goes into OH SHIT, SURVIVE mode, and the first pilot doesn’t resist, or gets snapped back into reality and works together to try to save the craft. Many self destructive events are snap ephemeral decisions, its not impossible (suicidal people often call emergency services after doing self harm), so Mr. Sabin needs to account for this dynamic as well and not make assumptions about pilot mental unity. Heroic efforts to survive do not remove the potential of intentional action as the root cause.

    We will never know the mental state of the pilots, we will only know what was recorded in the black box. The moment in time has passed, and the best outcome we can hope for is the normalization of mental health care for airline crew.

    Mr Sabin’s theory about a coverup could be credible, except wouldn’t it be in AAIB’s best interests to throw the responsibility on the plane and not the pilots? Why would they lie about the fuel switch data?






  • No such resource exists just on snoring. It’s not a major health concern (sleep apnea is) so not much gets published specifically on subclinical snoring. I’m synthesizing from my collected knowledge and commenting casually here.

    • Ectopic Fat is fat someplace it shouldn’t be
    • The human body does not want fat in places it shouldn’t be (intermuscular, interorgan, visceral, airway)
    • visceral fat is quicky resolved on a ketogenic intervention (not the only way to resolve, but it is demonstrated in all the literature on NAFLD)
    • Anecdotal repots of snoring and sleep apnea resolving on keto

    Ketogenic -1.3.9.1.4 How hyperinsulinaemia produces the visceral obesity that is the key to the pathology of the insulin resistance syndrome - This is probably the most relevant thing to read with respect to ectopic fat

    As far as the mechanism of action of why carbohydrates are driving ectopic fat please read - The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity - Beyond “Calories In, Calories Out” - 2018

    Your not asking people to justify with references the “snoring is normal and healthy” vibe that is upvoted here. I think that speaks to the poor metabolic health we have come to accept in society

    It’s not really reasonable to expect someone to dig through all of that.

    This is the third time now. I keep seeing you blame carbs as the main culprit for various health issues people have. It would be nice to see some primary sources to back it up.

    To be fair, your statement was very general “various health issues” and “primary sources”. The only possible response to satisfy that would be all the primary sources on all issues.





  • that doctor who told John Green it’s not normal to sneeze

    How many times have you sneezed today? Do you often sneeze with no stimulating cause? I watched the video, and while the doctor’s statement is reported without nuance (Mr Green didn’t speak with the doctor, he interviewed someone who spoke to a doctor many years ago and that was their recollection), I think it is a valid diagnostic question especially for a allergist or immunologist to use. FWIW I have only sneezed with some stimulating cause, and not “out of the blue”, to the best of my recollection. I think it’s reasonable for a doctor in the context of a diagnostic conversation to say “I never sneeze” leaving out the implicit (without stimulation) to try to coax out patient experiences by illustrating their importance. How about you?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoring

    Snoring is an abnormal breath sound caused by partially obstructed, turbulent airflow and vibration of tissues in the upper respiratory tract (e.g., uvula, soft palate, base of tongue) which occurs during sleep.










  • There can be physical problems that cause snoring, your right there are many variables, but its not normal.

    The problem with “strict diet” is it doesn’t account for metabolic health. There are many unhealthy diets out there, one feature of which can be misplaced fat. For instance there are many professional athletes with T2D.

    It’s less common for young people to snore, so its a indicator there is a underlying metabolic issue they can address (if they care to). Think of snoring as subclinical sleep apnea (for illustrative purposes only), there is a spectrum of airway obstruction - you can go quite far down that spectrum without suffering major effects, but its a indicator of less then ideal metabolic health.
