I don't see the RAT deployed on the video on Reddit. Can you tell the timestamp to zoom in? I'm super curious.

Those things are tiny and very transparent (since it's pretty much a propeller) and video compression, plus it's a video of a screen, will eat it up against a clear sky.

It could be the blurry object under the fuselage, just to the right of the left engine.

From another video, the RAT on the 787 is on the right.

New videos came out and so far the prevailing theory is that flaps were retracted too soon. Most likely instead of gear up.
