“Why did you cut off fuel?” — “I didn’t.” Preliminary #AAIBReport on #AirIndia #AI171crash reveals final cockpit exchange before both engines shut down mid-air. Read in detail: buff.ly/WZPgfF3

#AirIndiaFlightCrash ‘According to the #Preliminary report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), both engines' fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF within a second of each other, an event that effectively shut down power to the aircraft. Cockpit voice recordings captured one pilot asking the other why the fuel had been cut. “I did not do it,” Amrita Das reports.
