Air India 171 Update: Fuel Cutoff Switches in 'Cutoff' Position according to WSJ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD64uYK926o&ab_channel=CaptainSteeeveThe Wall Street Journal has just released a report that changes the direction of the Air India 171 investigation. According to sources familiar with the black box data, both fuel cutoff switches were found in the “cutoff” position—meaning the engines were intentionally shut down.
This is a sobering and deeply troubling revelation. In this video, Captain Steeeve takes a measured approach as he walks through what this switch position means, how it affects the engines, and what it might suggest about the final moments of the flight.
As always, our goal is to honor the truth, respect those affected, and help viewers understand complex aviation systems in moments of crisis.
