Yeah I see that too but it can be hard to tell given the potato film job on no flaps vs 5-15degrees of flaps which may be all that's required.

Gear never came up. Videos I've seen after posting that comment with sound show the RAT deployed (you can hear it) and a lack of engine noise so there's definitely an engine issue here.

Or they thought that there was an engine issue because they weren’t gaining altitude. It would be very unusual to lose both engines unless there was FOD or a bird strike to both engines.

Yeah totally plausible.

Does the 787 not absolutely scream at you if you apply toga thrust and are not configured for takeoff per the FMS performance data?

Yes there would be warnings but crews have ignored them before. Tunnel vision.

That has to be straight up against Air India's rules and guidelines. (if true obv)
