New evidence provides clues about the Air India crash

The original crash video was supposedly a recording of a monitor. The actual video has become available, and a YouTuber pilot examined it. He noticed two things that might indicate what happened. He noticed a propellor deployed under the plane and the sound of the propellor running. This propellor is supposedly a last resort system that provides minimal electricity to run electronics and hydraulics. The fact that this thing is deployed means that there was some sort of issue with the plane, and the crash wasn't a pilot error. The analysis and deeper explainer of the emergency propeller are below.

And a video by an earlier passenger featuring all the electrical in the passenger section including the air conditioning not working.

Looking like they might have suffered a double engine failure due to some kind of an electrical problem.
