No correlation between non-functional displays on passenger seats & possible engine failures etc.
They could both point to poor maintenance by the airline

Seat 11A. That's interesting, typically most survivors are located in the back, this one was in the front-center.
The plane seemed to come down tail down so I guess that end would have absorbed the shock more. 11A is front left by the way.

How does sitting in a plane more than average give you more insight than the pilots, engineers and safety regulators?
Pilots, aircraft engineers, and safety regulators also sit in aircraft. The phrase "line kilometres" might indicate a smidgeon of aviation industry adjacency to some. EDIT: Above and below comments appear to be low grade random sniping in bad faith. There's a failure to address content and specifics and a straw assertion about "more insight than the pilots, engineers and safety regulators", a claim that was never mad…

It's also possible to just not read news altogether.
Best decision I’ve ever made. It’s honestly so exhausting reading news regularly.
Most consequential decisions are made, or built up to, over a long time. Sure, somebody has to call moment-to-moment balls and strikes, but if that’s not literally you, your weight in the world might be better applied in slower, quieter, subtler places.
Am I morbidly curious about a plane crash? How could I not be? But the NTSB didn’t earn the credibility they have by parachuting in day-of and shooting from the hip. If anything, their processes provide discipline against first impressions blinding them to true causes.

Gentle tip from a lifelong aviation enthusiast: wait one week before reading on causation. Exposing yourself to first-week speculation isn’t just unproductive, it’s often counterproductive since the actual findings can rhyme with the false speculation closely enough that you wind up muddling the two in your mind.

And as somebody married to someone from India, I doubt a lack of English proficiency is the reason.
Apparently, there's a survivor. https://x.com/sidhant/status/1933160167816007842

What does language have to do with it?

Pro tip from a lifelong life enthusiast: if its breaking news, wait one week - first-week speculation isn’t just unproductive, it’s often counterproductive. Flick through last weeks newspaper if you need reassurance.
