A news report states: “Fuel control switches for the engines of an Air India flight that crashed last month were moved from the ‘run’ to the ‘cutoff’ position moments before impact, starving both engines of fuel, a preliminary investigation report said early Saturday. The report, issued by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, also indicated that both pilots were confused over the change to the switch setting, which caused a loss of engine thrust shortly after takeoff. The Air India flight—a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner—crashed on June 12 and killed at least 260 people, including 19 on the ground, in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad. Only one passenger survived the crash, which is one of India’s worst aviation disasters… Aviation expert and former airline pilot Terry Tozer said the engine cutoff switches being switched to off only seconds after takeoff was ‘absolutely bizarre. Unfortunately, the altitude was so low that the engines were only beginning to recover and they didn’t have enough time,’ Tozer told Sky News. The report also indicated confusion in the cockpit moments before the crash. In the flight’s final moment, one pilot was heard on the cockpit voice recorder asking the other why he cut off the fuel. ‘The other pilot responded that he did not do so,’ the report said.” Who turned off the flow of fuel to the engines and why?41 views0 answers0 votes

A news report stated on April 28, 2025: “A massive power outage affected both Spain and Portugal, leaving the entire Iberian Peninsula without electricity. The blackout occurred early in the afternoon and impacted various essential services, including public transport, traffic systems, and hospitals. The outage appears to have been triggered by an imbalance within Spain’s electrical grid, leading to a disconnection from the European power system, although the exact cause of the power surge remains under investigation. By late afternoon, power had been restored to many northern and southern regions, aided by interconnections with France and Morocco. Speculation about potential cyberattacks has arisen, especially given Spain’s geopolitical stance. However, European Commission Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera stated there is no evidence of sabotage or cyber interference. A full investigation is underway to ascertain the specifics of the outage, which has been described as one of the most severe in recent European history.” What caused this?140 views0 answers0 votes
