Engine 1 and Engine 2 cut off within 1 second: What caused Air India plane crash? 10 key findings from probe report
Saturday, 12 July 2025 () A preliminary report on the Air India 171 crash in Ahmedabad, which killed 260, reveals a sequence of engine shutdowns moments after takeoff. Cockpit recordings indicate pilot confusion regarding the fuel cutoff, and a distress call was issued just before the crash. The investigation continues to analyze wreckage and components, with no immediate recommendations for Boeing 787 operators.
A chilling preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) confirms that both engines of Air India’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner shut down seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12, killing at least 270 people. The aircraft was airborne for just 32 seconds before slamming into buildings near BJ Medical College. Crucially, cockpit recordings capture a moment of confusion: one pilot asks, “Why did you cut off?” to which the other replies, “I didn’t.” Investigators found both fuel control switches had flipped from ‘RUN’ to ‘CUTOFF’, triggering total engine failure. The RAT deployed, signaling power loss, and the plane began a rapid descent. Despite efforts to restart, only one engine partially responded. Sabotage is ruled out, but scrutiny now falls on a 2018 FAA advisory and maintenance history. The probe will focus on whether faulty switches or human error led to one of India’s deadliest aviation disasters.
