The incident resulted in a total of 279 fatalities onboard and on the ground. Senior commercial airline pilot Steve Shabnour indicated that the co-pilot of the Boeing 787 'Dreamliner' flying to London Gatwick Airport might have been instructed to retract the landing gear, but instead, he pulled the wrong lever and raised the flaps.
