    When I watched the crash video, I thought that something cut the fuel off. Because that was the most likely reason for all engines to stop.

    So, if the pilot or copilot did not do it (I assume it is not just a switch that you can trigger accidentally), what other system has the capability to switch off all fuel lines? Fire suppression systems? Some general “switch off”? And how hard would it be to restart fuel supply? Is it possible to override e.g. such a fire suppression system?

      The report specifically says that “cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec”. They were later switched back to RUN. It wasn’t some other system.

      This is such a bizarre situation that with just the voice recording we will probably never know what really happened.
