Remember the India plane crash? Seems like one of the pilots just cut the engines off!!!

Cockpit voice recorder captured one pilot asking, “Why did you cut off?” The other replied, “I did not do so”.

These switches have safety features to prevent accidental activation, and cockpit recordings show the pilots were surprised and confused by the change.

If a Boeing part were at fault, it would likely be the fuel control switches or their associated wiring/actuators.

If there were a mechanical or electrical fault, for example, a short circuit, faulty relay, or sticking actuator it could, in theory, cause the switches or the valves they control to move or close unintentionally, cutting off fuel to the engines

Could be 100% bullshyt. A grand cover up cause we know Boeing is crooked.
That plane model wasn't new. It was old with a flawless record. That specific plane itself never really had an incident. The problem was with the airline, not the manufacturer. Either pilot error, maintenance error or a combination of both.

Quality analysis.

Boeing leadership has the scruples of a $10 crack whore. They are willing to lie, cheat, steal, and literally murder to avoid liability for a defect.

Watch a show called air disasters/mayday.

Folks will hear this and assume it was intentional but if you watch that show, you’ll be surprised how many of these type of obvious things happen because of legit pilot error or confusion.
