One year after Air India Flight 171 crashed near Ahmedabad, the final cause is still unknown. The accident killed 260 people when the Boeing 787 crashed into a medical college campus shortly after take-off. Investigators are continuing to study flight recorder data, aircraft systems, engine parts, maintenance records, and human factors. A preliminary report said the fuel-control switches moved to the cut-off position seconds after take-off, which stopped fuel to both engines. That finding led to debate about whether the cockpit crew acted deliberately or whether they were trying to recover the flight. Experts also point to the backup turbine and to engine data that may help show when power was lost.
