Air India captain may have shut off fuel ahead of deadly crash

Flight AI171 was operating from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, the airline said.

Early analysis of the Air India crash black box suggests the captain manually shut off fuel switches – a stunning revelation, if confirmed.

The June crash claimed 260 lives, with harrowing footage showing the aircraft plunging moments after takeoff.

The report cites unnamed U.S. officials involved in the early investigation, though Indian authorities have not publicly confirmed the claim.

What was first seen as a tragic mechanical failure may now point to intentional human action – triggering urgent new questions about motive, protocol, and pilot oversight.

This story is still developing.
