AI 171 crash: Pilots' association slams "reckless and unfounded insinuation of pilot suicide"

The pilot monitoring, however, is the only one with free hands. Using vague terms to suggest otherwise seems misleading. The action was deliberate, which is why I said it has to be manually done.

"It cannot be done automatically or due to a power failure because the fuel selectors are not the sliding type. They are designed to stay in a slot, and you have to pull them out to move them up or down. So, the possibility of inadvertently moving them to the "off" position doesn't arise. It's definitely a case of deliberate manual selection to move it to 'off'."

One of the pilots is really innocent.

So the fuel was deliberately cut off by someone not necessarily the pilots. It could be a Pakistani terrorist taking revenge for the recent war started by India.
