Air India 171’s SHOCKING Preliminary Report!

About this video

Max analyzes the preliminary report on the Air India 171 crash, focusing on the Boeing 787’s fuel cutoff switches that were found in the off position shortly after takeoff. He explains the aircraft’s safety mechanisms, describes how the crew attempted to restart the engines, and discusses whether the switches could have moved accidentally or were intentionally actuated. Max emphasizes the unusual nature of both switches moving simultaneously and the lack of prior maintenance reports about defects.

Key takeaways

• Max explains that Boeing 787 fuel cutoff switches have a two-step safety mechanism requiring pilots to pull out and flip them, making accidental movement highly unlikely
• According to Max’s analysis of the preliminary report, both fuel cutoff switches moved to the off position just seconds after liftoff at maximum airspeed, with cockpit voice recorder capturing one pilot asking ‘Why did you cut off?’ and the other replying ‘I did not do so’
• Max outlines the crew’s attempted engine restart procedures and notes that while accidental switch movement is theoretically possible due to improper installation, maintenance records and previous crew flights showed no defects, leaving pilot fatigue or intentional action as potential explanations
