Air India pilots may have made fatal error before crash that killed more than 270 people, probe reveals
A preliminary report for last month’s Air India crash that killed 241 people on board — with a sole survivor miraculously walking away — found that the plane’s engine fuel cutoff switch was flipped just three seconds after taking off.
It is unclear how or why the switch was flipped, which ceased all fuel to the engines and quickly forced the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner to lose its thrust and crash.

“The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off,” the report said.
The pilots may have been responsible for the devastating crash, as it is difficult, if not impossible,e to accidentally flip the switch, The US Sun reported.
Another 19 people were killed on the ground after the aircraft slammed into a medical college in Ahmedabad, India.
