What else is purposely retained that could prevent to exclusively blame the guys seated in front ?
I'm not interested in "BLAME".
But as an engineer, I still simply cannot get my mind around running up
all four engines against the parking brakes to the earlier quoted thrust, and then NOT slamming all throttles shut
the very instant the aircraft started to move, rather than ELEVEN seconds later.
OK, I'm a dinosaur, because I still know Concorde at T/O power plus reheat could NOT be held against the brakes. But I would have hoped some of our experience would have filtered down the ages.....
