One of the pilots said why did you shut the fuel off and other said I didn't . Apparently not enough time to switch them back on before impact . 

Yeah I read that bit, someone switched the engines off though.  It looked like they got one engine running but too little too late.

bloody good job too, 

I get a dozen calls a week wanting me to have a smart meter for electricity, 

I don't need likewise for the water.

that said,, I wouldn't trust the bastards not to. 

Yeah it's just click bait so nothing to worry about. Like all these articles there is a snippet of truth in it but they don't tell you you the whole story.

Both fuel switches were selected back on. I guess there wasn’t enough time. But there are other things that can cut the fuel off irrespective of the position of the switches. I hope they can get to the bottom of it.

My impression is that the social media revolt against covid vaccines has lead to a decrease in parents getting their kids to have MMR. Could be completely unrelated.

From what I read it said the switches where moved from on to off  which only means one of two scenarios, a very major hugmounous human error or a deliberate act. 

 

Either way a lot of people died due to an idiot. Tbh I'm surprised that automation/ai hasn't taken more of a roll in the aviation industry.

was looking for the actual evidence/links to the source but it looks like the telegraph isn't giving that info out. There's no way that they could just increase prices only due to a water shortage. Water shortage in this area, everyone's water costs are going up! Yeah.  It's just click bait imo.

 

🤔 That story is doing the rounds today. I hope you are right. Nothing would surprise me though, end of the day the duty to the shareholders is the number one priority. 
It wont effect me as I run off a private water supply/ bore hole. 
 

Clck Bait ??

Yes click bait. 

They arent going to hike up your bills just because the weather got hot from what i can see.

 

The problem with all these headlines is that they dont provide a direct link to the article/direct source, they just give you a little snippet that sucks people in.

Yeah I wouldn't trust them to try it on either as we, OK apart from you and those that have a well are a captive audience although I know thats not the correct term but I cant think of the correct one!  dont have a choice.

 

From what I can read a family of four usually uses 16 baths of water a day, if you use 18 baths of water in a day in a dry season then you will pay more per cubic metre above that. Its hardly what the headlines state. So a big nothing burger unless you are filling up the family pool everyday.

 

They can get to fook though as they have mismanaged the water network for years and still get there directors bonuses from what I read.

We shall see as I say, no need for another long reply just some patience. I’m sure The Times, The Sun, The Telegraph and The Express must have got it wrong.
