"Inside the mysterious crash of Air India Flight AI171 — malfunction or human hand?"

".. potential faults in the fuel control switch locking mechanism, especially in Boeing 737 aircraft. The same part — 4TL 8373D — was also installed in AI171’s Dreamliner."

#AirIndiaCrash: In the cockpit voice recording, one pilot asks the other why he cut off the engines' fuel supply, which the other denies. The switches were moved back to their normal position, restarting both engines, one of which was regaining thrust when the aircraft crashed.

Notably, the switches are virtually impossible to activate by mistake, because they require a very specific sequence of movements.
