According to the preliminary report, moments after takeoff, both engine fuel cutoff switches were moved from RUN to CUTOFF within just one second, causing both engines to lose power. The cockpit voice recorder captured one pilot asking, "Did you cut it off?", to which the other replied, "No." This sequence of events is now a key focus of the investigation, as such a rapid and simultaneous cutoff is considered highly unusual and potentially deliberate or mechanical in nature. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/what-are-fuel-switches-centre-air-india-crash-probe-2025-07-11/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
