<h1>Aircraft crash investigation reveals fuel switches cut off one second after takeoff killing 260 people</h1> The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau released a preliminary report on an airline crash that killed 260 people, containing more information than expected according to the International Air Transport Association Director General. The report, published 30 days after the June 12 accident, revealed that fuel switches to the engines were cut off within one second after takeoff, causing cockpit confusion before the aircraft crashed into a building. While no formal recommendations were made to the aircraft manufacturer or engine producer, some airlines have voluntarily checked fuel cutoff switches. The report does not provide conclusions, though pilot error speculation has been rejected by pilot associations. The aviation industry official emphasized the importance of thorough investigations and timely reporting, suggesting video recordings could assist future investigations alongside voice recordings.
