The video shows the plane on fire before rotation. > the crew decided to continue the flight > The plane was too heavy > couldn't fly on the remaining engines > crashed.

It's not rocket science....

It's a tragedy for the passengers and their families. It's a tragedy for the pilots...in that we will be stuck flying subsonic planes for the near future because everyone is too stupid to put decent pilots in the seats up front...

So instead of making faster planes, let's just continue making planes that go that same speed, but go farther, and add more automation so that we can stuff the front seats with less qualified pilots...

Yep...now that's really moving forward....
