The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) on Saturday released its preliminary report on the crash of Air India flight to London, revealing that the mishap occurred after both engines had shut down seconds after takeoff.
Air India’s Boeing 787-8 plane that was operating flight AI 171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick on June 12, crashed seconds after takeoff, killing a total of 260 people, including many on the ground.
The 15-page-long report also noted that Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF within one second of each other. This means the engines of the aircraft were completely starved of fuel supply.
