The fuel switches to both engines on the Air India Flight 171 moved to the "cutoff" position immediately before the crash that killed 260 after taking off on June 12.

India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation bureau has released a preliminary report on the Air India flight that crashed in June, showing the fuel to the engines was cut off. The London-bound plane had barely left the runway at Ahmedabad airport before it careened back to earth.

A preliminary report into the Air India crash last month, which left at least 270 people dead, indicates that fuel to the plane's engines was shut off just seconds after the plane lifted off.
