[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The preliminary report is out. The plane took off, the two engine fuel cutoff switches were flipped to off.  One pilot asked, Why did you shut off the engines? The other said, I didn't. Then the plane crashed.

The report states that it makes no recommendations about Boeing or the engines.  That is, they were not the reason the plane crashed.

It was released at 1:30 am Friday Saturday morning and the server crashed.[/quote]

Other pilot was lying clearly[/quote]

I wonder if it’s possible that the pilot had early onset dementia or something where he just didn’t realize that’s what those switches were?  It seems weird to answer if the answer is that I’m suicidal and I’m trying to kill us all. I guess there’s no way to know.  How awful.  [/quote]

Switching off the fuel to both engines at a critical moment in takeoff and then turning them back on were very deliberate actions. Sometimes when people survive a suicide attempt they say they experienced immediate regret - the moment they jumped off the bridge, the moment they took the pills. And that may have happened here. But the plane didn't have enough altitude to correct for the sudden loss in thrust. It's not the first time pilots have crashed planes deliberately - EgyptAir, GermanWings, China Eastern, etc. Probably Air Malaysia too. [/quote]
