  • Preliminary findings into the Air India crash revealed the plane's fuel switches were cut off immediately after take-off, stopping fuel supply to the engines.
  • The report included a cockpit transcript where pilots discussed who turned off the fuel, with one denying it, and experts state it is not easy to accidentally cut off fuel switches.
  • The London Gatwick-bound flight crashed moments after taking off from Ahmedabad airport, killing all but one of the 242 people on board and approximately 19 on the ground.
