    Air India 171: Everything We Know So Far.
    Jul 14 2025
    Join us for a quick debrief on what we know so far on Air India 171. We explain that a preliminary investigation found the fuel control switches were moved to the "cut-off" position shortly after takeoff, leading to engine thrust loss. The reports highlight disagreement over pilot responsibility, with the U.S. aviation authority asserting the fuel switches were safe, and the Indian Commercial Pilots' Association defending the crew. Information regarding the pilots' backgrounds and experience is also included, alongside details about the aircraft, the investigation's progress, and the impact on victims' families. Note that all of this is speculative and based off the preliminary report and in no way intended to place blame on any party, at this time.
