Fuel to Air India Plane Was Cut Off Before Crash, Report Says

It appears that that Air India crash might have been caused by Pilot Error. While it's still early to be conclusive the black boxes do seem to confirm that there were no mechanical issues and that the fuel was cut off and caught the attention of the pilots.

The captain had 10,000 hours and the first officer had 3,400.

To me it definitely seems very early to be blaming the pilots

I agree but I think you and I are unfortunately in the minority here. Hacker News, the top comments are about it being a murder suicide, and in some group chats I'm in they're parroting the same thing

Unfortunately you know how it is when it comes to racism and United States airplanes.

Given that this is on the 787 which allegedly has some issues by a whistleblower I really curious to see the final report before I condemn anybody.

Besides both of these Pilots flew for years. That means they've flown probably thousands of flights over their lifetime and it was just this last flight that didn't go well.

Also there isn't any proof about this being a suicide. No one's released anything about any statements any of the pilots have said. And isn't that really frowned upon in India anyway?

It's difficult to conclude anything other than murder-suicide.

How the actual fuck did they come to that conclusion?

Does seem like there are people pointing out different ways this could have conceivably happened their too which is nice to see.
