Liputan6.com, New – The initial investigation in the field of flight 171 of the accident on the water in India in June, in which 260 lives died, showed conclusions that raised many questions. Only a few seconds after take-off, two fuel controls switch to the 12-year-old Boeing 787 Dreamliner, suddenly moved to the “cut-off” position.
As a result, the supply of fuel to the engine stopped, which caused a complete loss of power – the situation that should arise only after landing the aircraft indicated from the page Bi -bi -xSunday (07/13/2025).
The cockpit recorded the pilot’s voice, asked his colleague: “Why did you turn off the switch?” To which the confirmation answered that he did not. But this record did not determine who said what.

This investigation was conducted by the Indian authorities with the participation of experts from Boeing, General Electric, Air India, Indian flight regulators, as well as representatives of the United States and Great Britain. In the initial report, a number of results appeared that were considered odd.
Investigators explained that the fuel switch on the controller lever was developed using a locking mechanism to prevent random transfer. This switch should be the first to be tightened before it could be changed, the security function that has existed since the 1950s. In addition, the switch is protected by a special bracket, so it is not easy to suppress. This makes the possibility of random fuel stops almost impossible.
The government of India finally raised its votes about the disaster of Indian water aircraft in Ahmedabad. The Minister of Transport announced a comprehensive exam in all Boeing 787 fleets and created a special investigation group. The black box is now analyzed for …
