The first clues from the investigation into the London Gatwick-bound Air India plane that crashed in India’s Ahmedabad last month, killing 260 people, reveal that the aircraft’s engine fuel cutoff switches shut off the fuel supply to the engines almost simultaneously, causing confusion among the pilots.
According to the preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), released early Saturday, the cockpit voice recorder captured one pilot asking the other why he had cut off the fuel in the final moments before the crash.
