<h1>Air India Boeing 787-8 crashes after takeoff killing 260 people as fuel switches mysteriously cut off during departure</h1> An Air India Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport, killing 241 of 242 onboard and 19 on ground. The preliminary investigation report revealed that fuel switches for both engines were cut off within one second during takeoff, causing thrust loss. Aviation experts suggest the switch position changes could result from mechanical issues, power supply problems, or software glitches rather than intentional pilot action. Cockpit recordings show pilots questioning why fuel was cut off, with both denying responsibility. The spring-loaded switches require deliberate human interface to change positions, making the incident's cause unclear pending further investigation.
