The Air India 171 crash, resulting in 260 fatalities, is under investigation. A preliminary report indicates that both engines were shut down by manually activating fuel cutoff switches shortly after takeoff. The report suggests a possible cockpit exchange between pilots, with one pilot questioning the other about the fuel cutoff. The investigation is focusing on the captain, while the airline and Boeing face scrutiny amidst safety concerns and attempts at revitalization. Pilot unions criticize the report's lack of conclusive evidence and call for further investigation.
