Re: “Well, if true, then either General Electric or Rolls Royce gets sucked into the meat-grinder since they are the producers of the two engine options for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. ”Unless they find that the fuel was contaminated or a bizarre double-bird-strike took out both engines.

It does look like the RAT deployed, though. I don't have an alternate explanation for that. It implies engine failure, not pilot error.

I note what you said, though: "if true." It might not be true. The video could be fake.
