    No Major info on the aircrash!

    VT-ANB Boeing
    787-8 MSN : 36279 Built at Everett, USA.

    As per CCTV and other footages, Aircraft was stalling after inital climbing stage, That means : No enough Lift generated across wings, No engine fire or smoke trail means - No Bird strikes. But with a sufficient Velocity.
    My Guess is Flaps malfunction or something related to Flaps.
    Landing Gears were down.

        Blackbox (Both CVR and FDR should be safe and not damaged, since the Tail section/Empennage barely saved and structed at a building )
        Some social medias and news posted as Crew was communicating to ATC as no power/loosing power/ or something related to engines. Not confirmed officially, but it can be a reason for the stall of the aircraft.

              Thanks for the update! PR also committed to get more A351s. Where do you think the B781 and A351 will be deployed by PR? Is it true that PK is planning to acquire B787s? I'm not sure if it's the -8, -9, or -10.
