The plane’s fuel switch was off at the time of the plane crash in Karnavati!

A report in the American daily ‘Wall Street Journal’ claims

Washington (USA) – The preliminary investigation report into the Air India ‘Dreamliner’ plane crash in Karnavati last month is being awaited by everyone. Against this backdrop, a report in the American daily ‘Wall Street Journal’ has said that the switch controlling the fuel supply to the plane’s engines was turned off. Due to this, the ‘thrust’ (the force that keeps the plane in the air) in the engines, i.e. the lifting power of the plane, decreased immediately after takeoff and the plane started to crash.
