Day 17 of having no clue what happened to Air India 171.

Take your time, India, it’s not like we need to know for safety reasons or anything

Day 26 after the Air India 171 crash and we are starting to receive some indications that the fuel switches may have been moved to the CUTOFF position at some point during the takeoff or initial climb sequence.

That info is still subject to confirmation in the coming weeks, but it would be a major head-scratcher, involving either a gross error or murderous intent

What scenarios might cause this to happen?

Talking *@! In /extracurriculars reminiscing in /gen-x and curating in /trish

Honestly short of a deliberate action I can’t imagine how this would happen

SilkAir 185 (1997)
EgyptAir 990 (1999)
LAN Mozambique 470 (2013)
Malaysia Airlines 370 (2014) (presumed)
GermanWings 9525 (2015)
China Eastern 5735 (2022)

It’s a long list unfortunately

Pilot several years ago deliberately crashed his plane on the way from Spain to Germany. Turned out he had mental health issues that were ignored (I think that was the case)

Fucked up thing was that a school class was on that plane. Imagine, à whole class in your school just gone!
