Air India Flight 171 Investigation Unfolds with Focus on Fuel Switch Protocols
The investigation into the crash of Air India Flight 171 has taken a significant turn as preliminary reports indicate that the fuel to the engines was cut off just moments before the disaster. Details have emerged showing a confrontation between the co-pilot and captain regarding the fuel switches, raising questions about cockpit communication and pilot actions during the final moments of the flight. Despite the airline asserting that there are no issues with the fuel control switches on other Boeing aircraft, the focus remains on the decision-making of the flight’s captain. The report suggests human error may be implicated, but speculation about potential mental health issues and even theories of suicide are also being discussed. Families of the victims are demanding clarity as the investigation continues amid calls for scrutiny over the actions of both pilots and the mechanical aspects of the aircraft.
