Early investigation into accident in Ahmedabad in June also contains details of pilots discussing the switches
Fuel to both engines of the Air India plane that crashed and killed 260 people last month appears to have been cut off seconds after the flight took off, a preliminary report has found.
Air India flight AI171, bound for London, crashed into a densely populated residential area in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on 12 June, killing all but one of the 242 people on board and 19 others on the ground. It was India’s deadliest air crash in almost three decades.
According to a preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, moments after take-off both the switches in the cockpit that controlled fuel going to the engines had been moved to the “cut-off” position. Moving the fuel switches almost immediately cuts the engine.
Bling bling!
Oh hey guys! I’m WFH today!
Sorry Bob, I forgot it was a teams meeting!
No worries Bob, you mind zooming in to a single screen?
Oh you’re seeing both of my screens in a tiny ass piece of your own screen with barely legible pixelated text that a fucking dumbass at Microsoft agreed to make into a default parameter for screen sharing during a meeting using a software they developed and functions poorly for anything?
Yes Bob, exactly. OK I can read the first 10 letters. You mind scrolling a few more letters slowly so I can read what the DFMEA is about?
Its technically an SFMEA as Bob mentioned.
Oh, what’s an SFMEA? I’m only familiar with a DFMEA…
Oh an SFMEA is just like a DFMEA, but for safety.
Oooo! Okay. That’s exciting. Hey thanks for scrolling! Yeah this design again! I don’t known why they won’t approve my ECR so we can ECO a safety cover for the switch. You wouldn’t want someone to accidentally bump this thing while getting up from their seat. In retrospect its not a good idea to put it next to the knee rest.
OK Bob, I got it in full screen, can you see more than 3 excel rows now?
Yup, its great! The new full screen which is actually just 75% of the screen is great for effective communication! But I wish Microsoft would give us larger squares with funny looking people icons. So important for communication to take up most of the screen with useless piece of shit dumbass icons and controls.
Agreed Bob!
Meanwhile at another 787:
Hey Bob, I just put into full power but engine one turned off.
Dumbass! Didn’t you go to the online training?
What training?
The one about the cut off of switch! Turn that shit back on!!! Here’s the full power button!
…folks, your captain speeching… We had some turbulence but we’ll be arriving at Laconia International airport in approximately 4 hrs. For now sit back and enjoy the ride!
