The Wall Street Journal has just released a report that changes the direction of the Air India 171 investigation. According to sources familiar with the black box data, both fuel cutoff switches were found in the “cutoff” position—meaning the engines were intentionally shut down.
This is a sobering and deeply troubling revelation. In this video, Captain Steeeve takes a measured approach as he walks through what this switch position means, how it affects the engines, and what it might suggest about the final moments of the flight.
As always, our goal is to honor the truth, respect those affected, and help viewers understand complex aviation systems in moments of crisis.

Captain Steeve has never mentioned the possibility of pilot suicide. Why? It has certainly happened before.
Double not good................
Isn’t that on the checklist?
If not, it should be.....................
Not possible. The flight crew would have to assure they are on to even start the engines.
Your post does NOT mention cut-off switches.
Was there an Allahu Akbar on the cockpit voice recorder?...............
“The fuel was was deliberately shut off. Where are these switches located? Which side - left or right? Anyone know?”
The video gives a very good description.
The Captain goes over the various procedures.
“One of the anomalies on this flight was that the 787 took up almost all the runway before lift off which could mean engine problems”
5he Captain pretty much dismisses that hre and in his previous video.
Was someone in the cockpit on antidepressants? That German co-pilot who purposefully rammed that airliner into a mountainside was on SSRIs.
“Maybe , but cycling the fuel cutoffs is part of an emergency engine restart.”
No cycling in this case ...
Do not hire people who are followers of a cult which demands death to those who believe differently from themselves.
Do not be afraid to profile/stop/search/detain passengers or potential employees based on the past experiences with people from certain groups. This is about safety and security for those traveling. Basing decisions on 'feelings', 'compassion', and virtue signaling gets people killed.
Ammend the list as you see fit...
Firs rule of the Internet: Never believe anything coming from liberal organizations like the WSJ.
“Maybe there was a shift change during maintenance and nobody mentioned the switches to the maintenance crew coming on shift?”
My high pressurer sprayer and generator have a fuel cutoffs. Neither will start when in the off position.
Anyone yell "Allahu Akbar" into their headset?
Isn’t that part of a pre-flight check?
I hope so!................
Not a lot of time in an engine out on takeoff.
Not sure if Captain Steeeve saw this...
See paragraphs 4 through 7.
Note to Captain Steeeve: Love your channel, Captain. But, FWIW, I wouldn’t rely on the WSJ’s reportage for jack spit.
Could not remember the actual flights. Sadly, not the first time.
“Not a lot of time in an engine out on takeoff.”
Watch the video and then come back with a meaningful post.
