India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) report, published on July 12–exactly a month after the disaster–has since strengthened the loss-of-power theory.
The 15-page document containing images of devastation claims one pilot was heard asking the other why he “cut off” the aircraft’s fuel supply, to which his colleague claimed he did not.
The revelation drew attention to the aircraft’s fuel cutoff switches, which, when toggled, deprive the aircraft’s engines of fuel, causing them to stall.

They are described as “highly reliable” and designed to not flip accidentally.

An unnamed Canadian expert speaking to the BBC on July 12 confirmed as much when they said:
“It would be almost impossible to pull both switches with a single movement of one hand, and this makes accidental deployment unlikely.”

“You can’t bump them [causing them to] move,” U.S. aviation expert John Cox confirmed.
Another aviation guru, Anthony Brickhouse, summed up the resulting conundrum by asking, “Did [the cutoff switches] move on their own, or did they move because of the pilots?”
“And if they were moved because of a pilot, why?”
Immediately after, a pilot was heard saying, “Thrust not achieved… falling”
Regarding the Air India B787 AI171 crash report, the fuel control cutoff switch requires manual physical activation by the pilots and locks securely in either the “run” or “cutoff” position. It cannot move independently. Even if one fuel control switch was moved, both switches… pic.twitter.com/wS4As5AlxY
