Sounds like the pilots killed the fuel, and did not mean to do so. Having watched the video, and being totally ignorant of this sort of thing, that makes sense of what I saw.

I’m not trusting any report until I have had heard from Admiral Cloudberg. If you’re not familiar, plane crash investigation is what he does. He’s completely unbiased and seems to be the expert, at least for us layman.

So, so many poorly informed people in here jumping to conclusions, many of which were already ruled out in the preliminary report.

I don’t know any more than what’s in that document myself.

Perhaps some of the armchair aircraft safety investigators in here might want to at least skim the details before coming up with wild theories? Or at least provide reasoning and evidence to support them.

May those who lost their lives, and their loved ones, find peace and closure as best they can once we have all the details. Until then, it would be crass to speculate, especially as non-experts not privvy to the details of the investigation.

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?

is it clear that FADEC cannot cut-off via software?

one would think such a fail state should be only accessible after the user has bypassed and confirmed the action.

let’s be honest, do we trust boeing at this point?

This article has a photo of the switches in question, and goes into more detail about how they work.
