What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

An Air India flight crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) also looking into operational incidents affecting Air India. Preliminary reports suggest that the 787 aircraft's engine fuel control switches moved almost simultaneously from "RUN" to "CUTOFF," which may have starved both engines of fuel shortly after the flight took off.
