Air India Probe Puts Early Focus on Pilots’ Actions and Plane’s Fuel Switches
#4
"The two engines on the Air India flight shut down within one second of each other before the Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed last month in Ahmedabad, India, killing at least 260 people, according to a preliminary report released Friday.

Both engine fuel control switches that, if pulled while in flight, cut power to the engines, transitioned from the “run” to “cutoff” settings as the plane took off, according to the report.

In the recovered cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why he cut off fuel to the engine. The other pilot responded that he didn’t, according to the 15-page report."

Yes, sounds like it could be sabotage. There was so little of the flight to record, and everyone involved is dead. Could be very difficult to solve.
