limited footage and information currently available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Captain Steve Schreiber, a commercial airline pilot and\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/youtube\">YouTuber<\/a>\u00a0recently made a video discussing a new theory that he believes is supported in the video footage of the plane moments before it crashed down to the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\"><a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8XYO-mj1ugg&amp;ab_channel=CaptainSteeeve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In the video<\/a>\u00a0he said he believes the plane suffered double engine failure and was unable to generate enough power to lift off and elevate into the sky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He said: \u201cI\u2019m going to show you something and explain it because it is a total game changer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cRight there, my friends, take a look, a lot of people have been talking about the RAT had deployed, what is a RAT?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Captain Steve showed a freeze frame of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane seconds before the crash, with a part of the plane\u2019s belly circled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He said from the footage it appeared as if the RAT, ram air turbine, had deployed and explained how it works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He said that on this type of aircraft, the RAT is automatically deployed under one of three conditions: \u201cA massive electrical failure, a massive hydraulic failure or a dual engine failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div
