On the ground, around 19 people were killed, and nearly 70 were injured due to the crash.What caused the crash?As per the preliminary report released a month after the fatal crash, AAIB noted that the crash was caused by both engines losing thrust. This occurred due to their fuel switches moving from the RUN to CUTOFF position, three seconds after takeoff.The report added that the fuel switch matter was raised by the pilots. As heard in the cockpit recordings, one pilot asked why the switch had been moved to CUTOFF, while the other replied that he had not changed the position.Also Read | Air India crash report answers questions, but also deepens some mysteries | What we knowAfter the switches returned to the RUN position, one of the pilots issued a mayday call after reporting a loss of thrust, nine seconds later.
