*The Gist | Avoid Speculation On Air India Disaster, Wait For Black Box Analysis* The crash of an Air India flight heading for London from Ahmedabad, has underscored something very vital, says a former airline pilot. Sam Thomas, spokesman of the Airline Pilots Association, answering questions on The Gist show, called for calm and sobriety in media coverage of the disaster. He decried the tendency of media channels to bring in experts of doubtful expertise to talk about why the Air India crash may have happened. "Social media has many armchair specialists," he noted, "I'm amazed that some of them can come and say authoritatively how a 777 functions. Their entire narrative is based on blurred CCTV, low quality footage that has been taken and one footage from a mobile phone." 🔗 https://youtu.be/nNJ60w-MG7M
