Investigators probing last month’s Air India crash say the jet’s engines lost power just after takeoff because fuel was cut off from both engines—an action apparently triggered by the pilots, reports the New York Times. According to a preliminary report that comes 30 days after the crash, the plane’s cockpit voice recorder captured one pilot asking the other why the fuel was cut, with the reply: « I did not do so. » The incident, which claimed more than 270 lives, including dozens on the ground, is now the deadliest air disaster in India since 1996.
