Air India Crash: Pilots’ Final Words Reveal Fuel Confusion Before Tragedy
A month after the horrific Air India crash in Ahmedabad, a preliminary report sheds light on the final moments in the cockpit. This devastating accident, which tragically took the lives of 270 people, is the worst aviation accident in India in decades.
Cockpit Recorder Reveals Fuel System Concerns
The report reveals crucial information gleaned from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR). It indicates a rapid, back-and-forth switching of the engines’ fuel cutoff switches from the “cutoff” to the “run” position mere seconds before the crash. The pilots’ final words included the phrase “I didn’t cut off fuel,” suggesting confusion and potential issues with the fuel system.
Investigation Continues into Cause of Crash
While the fluctuating fuel cutoff switch positions raise serious questions, investigators are still working to determine the exact cause of the crash. The investigation is ongoing, and a final report will be released once all evidence is thoroughly analyzed.
