✈️🇮🇳 Air India Crash: Cockpit Confusion and Fuel Cutoff Led to Deadly Tragedy.
A preliminary investigation into last month’s Air India crash — the deadliest aviation accident in a decade — has revealed startling cockpit confusion moments before the crash that killed 260 people.
🛫 The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, bound for London from Ahmedabad, lost thrust shortly after takeoff as both engine fuel cutoff switches flipped simultaneously, starving the engines of fuel.
📹 CCTV showed a ram air turbine deploying, a sign of total engine failure.
🎙️ In the final seconds, one pilot asked: “Why did you cut the fuel?” — the other replied: “I didn’t.”
The cause of the fuel cutoff remains unclear, raising serious questions about aircraft design and safety protocols. The crash is also a major blow to Tata Group’s efforts to revive Air India.
🕊️ Commander Sumeet Sabharwal, 56, and First Officer Clive Kunder, 32, were at the controls.
📍 India’s AAIB is continuing its investigation. Air India says it is fully cooperating.
