Following the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, a report revealed that the aircraft's fuel cutoff switches shifted from 'run' to 'cutoff' within one second, resulting in a loss of thrust. Out of 242 people on board, only one survived, while at least 19 individuals died on the ground. The preliminary investigation found that the black box was severely damaged, complicating data recovery. Confusion among pilots was noted in recordings, as one pilot questioned the activation of the cutoff switch without confirmation from the other.
