    Air India had a 787 flight in 2023 that had to return to its airport after an engine failure. The failure was determined to be because of poor maintenance. The flight was between Mumbai and London. Also of note: India's aviation regulator only has half the staff it is supposed to have. It's a sad day when India runs out of people . . .

    Folks in the west don’t understand how almost comically corrupt India is, in everything. Literally everything. I spent some time there, I have all kinds of stories. Nothing that happens there surprises me, and if it’s AI’s fault here, it would be the least shocking news ever. And if it is, they are going to get destroyed.

    I was very impressed with the flooding on the streets of New Dehli when I visited a couple years ago.
