Shocking Development in India Plane Crash: Investigation Focuses on Pilots

Striking details have emerged from the investigation into the Air India crash in India on June 12, which claimed the lives of 260 people. While initial technical findings revealed no malfunction in the aircraft's equipment, the investigation has shifted its focus to the actions of the cockpit crew.

According to officials, the switches controlling fuel flow to the engines of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner involved in the accident were determined to have been turned off immediately after takeoff. These switches are used in aviation to start and stop engines, but they are supposed to remain on throughout the flight.

While the investigation team has yet to reach a definitive conclusion as to why these vital switches were turned off, it is considering possible pilot negligence or an unauthorized action. No technical malfunction has been identified to date that could have caused the accident.

Following the accident, attention in both the Indian and global aviation community turned to Air India's operational safety practices and the training and performance evaluation processes of its flight crews.

Additional data from cockpit voice recordings and the black box are expected to shed light on all aspects of the incident in the coming days of the investigation. Flight safety experts, however, emphasize the need for airlines to revise their pilot training and inspection processes to prevent such accidents.
