Air India AI171 Tragedy: Fuel Cut-Off Mystery Deepens
A chilling revelation has emerged in the Air India AI171 crash investigation. Preliminary findings indicate that the aircraft’s engines were starved of fuel shortly after takeoff on July 12, 2025.
Flight data recorders show both fuel control switches were inexplicably positioned to “CUTOFF”. The cockpit voice recordings, however, suggest this was an unintentional action.
Despite frantic efforts by the crew, the engines failed to restart before the devastating crash. The exact cause of the switch movement remains shrouded in mystery.
The ongoing investigation is focusing on potential mechanical failure, pilot error, or even a yet-undiscovered factor. The nation awaits answers to prevent such catastrophic events in the future. This tragedy underscores the crucial need for stringent safety protocols and thorough maintenance checks across all airlines.
