Air India Crash Tragedy: How a Fuel Cutoff Led to Disaster
A devastating plane crash claimed the lives of 260 people last month, leaving the world in shock. A preliminary report into the Air India tragedy has revealed a critical sequence of events that led to the catastrophic incident.
Engines Starved of Fuel Seconds After Takeoff
Within moments of the aircraft leaving the ground, the engines’ fuel cutoff switches were almost simultaneously flipped from “run” to “cutoff.” This sudden disruption starved the engines of the crucial fuel supply they needed to stay operational, ultimately causing the plane to crash.
Investigation Continues into the Cause of Fuel Cutoff
While the preliminary report highlights the fuel cutoff as the immediate cause of the engine failure, further investigations are crucial to understand why this occurred. Authorities are diligently working to determine the root cause of the switch activation, examining possibilities ranging from mechanical malfunction to human error. The families of the victims and the aviation community await answers as the investigation continues.
