India’s air accident investigation bureau’s preliminary report into the Air India disaster has been published. It found that both fuel control switches were in the cut-off position – a step that turns off the engines – moments before the plane crashed.
More than 270 people died in the disaster when the Boeing Dreamliner 787 crashed moments after take off from Ahmedabad in India heading from the UK’s Gatwick Airport.
According to the report, the cockpit voice recording captures one pilot asking the other why he ‘did the cut-off’, to which the person replies that he didn’t. The recording doesn’t clarify who said what.
The passenger jet came down in a densely-populated area less than a minute after clearing the runway, causing devastation and many deaths onthe ground.

The issue with faulty fuel switches in Boeing aircraft had been flagged multiple times in the past. Yet, whenever a Boeing flight crashes, the blame is often placed on the pilot. In this case, they're claiming that a 56-year-old veteran pilot acted out of depression due to his mother’s recent passing, suggesting that after flying 20 trips, he suddenly decided to sabotage this one. It’s shocking how these companies twist the narrative to shift responsibility. It’s also concerning that the media reports such claims without thorough investigation.
I'm not any more flying in Boeing plans
Poori Media🐍Baby C
wow!242 people have death by fuel accident cut off it's not fair and how did it accident occur ?
BBC NEEDS BBC.
FAKE NEWS PROMOTER MF😊
HOW MUCH DO BBC GET FROM BOEING FOR MISLEADING NEWS???
Its time that every country should ban these Colonizers News.
They are just SHIT😊😊😊
in these times of deep-fake audio/ video technology, one can never be sure about the evidences released. one can never expect a real investigation, when corrupt leaders/ corporate ruling the systems, RIP. also apart from quality issues with boeing, many accuse boeing/ america for secretly implementing, satellite operated remote- control systems/ computer coding on these aircraft. i feel it is quite easy to sabotage fly-by-wire control systems of these days.
important things pointed by many journalists are- from delhi itself that aircraft experiencing a/c, electrical problems. ex-chief minister of gujarat and some of his accomplices were on board to reach uk. indian scams and other anti-national activities of recent decade are going to be disclosed by them to international community, which is a problem for many! also, with an accident "they" can achieve so many other parallel agendas.

BBC is misleading as it is British media
Indian pilot is better than any other piliot but Boeing company is ????????
They try to hide their…………
They feel jealous for the growth of………
It is trying to hide their own ……
They feel
The question is 'Why the fuel is cut-off? Not " why did you cut the fuel ? "🤫
Many think fuel valves can only be closed using fuel switches, but in fact, the EEC can cut off fuel independently. The switches don’t directly control fuel flow.
dead cant defend themself fuel switch problem of boing is well known to poilots
Propoganda news to blame pilots by a racist news channel
O JESUS MY SAVIOUR

She's lying
"no significant fault of the plane/Boeing." by this statement proof itself to be the root cause of the incident. Much work need to be investigated the plane's software to chip as issue by the manufacturer service bulletin before the crash . Diversion tactic from these so call report is a smoke screen to blame pilots.
so, it is not of any question that BOTH switches were deliberately manipulated. whether it was the copilot or pilot, we will never know. so, why don't cockpits have cameras? DUHR~ i mean wtf? should be standard. interesting that one expert has speculated that the one who asked 'why did you cut off the fuel switches?' was most likely the one to have done it in order to place blame on the other. after all, he knew there were only moments before impact. mental health awareness alert.

BBC 🖕
Hypocrisy has a limit @BBC . What happen if the Boeing plane is crashed and British people died ..
For those who are saying the other pilot might be lying…..There was an article by boeing themselve acceptd that there was issues with fuel gauge of the plane …..Stop white washing boeing and running propoganda…why some pilot would attempt their sucide knowing the consequencess 🤥🤡
Bbc just as always.want to blame the innocent
What a report, shame on BBC
Re: survivor
Why would 2 brothers sit separately on an 8 hour flight next to emergency exits?
How did it take off if was on off position?
Only reason for this AI 787 Plane Crash is that both engines fuel switches were switched off nearly at the same time manually by one of the Indian Pilots!
All the surviving families members got Multimillionaires immediately after the Crash!
Most of the passengers RIP WERE traitors to India. Why did they leave our country? For money? Then their greed killed them. ❤❤
Indian Pilots should be forced to undergo rigorous training 3 times more difficult and timeconsuming than for Western pilots! ❤❤
TYRION E AEGONN SOH PONDO FOGO NO MUNDO NA INDIA ESSES SAFADOSS!!!FOGUETEIR O DANADOS!!
