Cockpit voice recorder audio would do a lot to clear this up.

Very good video

Page 14 excerpt:
The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off.
In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so.
MH370.
Now 171.
Gonna have to step up psych review.
A remote possibility is the fuel control switches shorted out. Forward of the throttle levers on the pedestal is a big flat horizontal EICAS/MFD screen. A convenient place to set your large coffee cup. On rotation it falls backwards and spills the contents over the throttle levers and cutoff switches. I’m not saying this happened, just that it’s a possibility. A similar situation occurred on an A350. One engine shutoff and the pilots were able to restart it. It happened at altitude, not on takeoff.
The problem with Captain Steeeve is that he speaks based on leaks and without having all the information. Like he did in first video on this matter when he did not even know that the Ram Air Turbine had deployed even though the internet already knew it. Then he had to correct himself the next day.
I read the comments in this latest video shortly after it came out. The actual report had not been released yet. It was based on Wall street journal scoop. It was clear that people were using reason and logic in there thinking. They were making lots of assumptions. Many people were assuming that when the cutoff switches were reported to be off. That that was based on a physical inspection of the wreckage rather than information on the FDR. Of course that information was based on the FDR. And the physical inspection showed that they were actually on at the time of impact.
Because so much of Captain Steeeve’s audience is so low IQ then he should be much more careful about the worlds he chooses to describe events. He is also not even mentioning the possibility that the computer system glitched and only thought that the switches were off. The meaning of the pilot conversation is unclear. How did the pilot actually deduce that the switches were off. Did he physically see them off. Or did he simply see a message reporting that they were off. Would such a message have appeared on that plane? That is a billion dollar question to be answered. Unfortunately the report says nothing to answer that question. The other pilot said he did not touch the switches.
