Six months after an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed killing 260 people, the investigation remains inconclusive. The preliminary report indicates the fuel supply switches were turned off after takeoff, but whether this resulted from pilot error or technical malfunction is disputed. Tensions between pilots, victims' families, the airline, and Boeing continue as experts question the investigation's focus on the deceased pilots rather than potential technical failures.

This follows the deadly June crash of Air India flight 171, where preliminary investigations revealed unusual deactivation of engine fuel control switches. Both incidents point to potential electrical system concerns in Boeing 787 aircraft operating in India.
