  • ✈️ Aviation expert Captain Steve Scheibner believes the Boeing 787 Dreamliner operated perfectly as designed in the Air India crash.
  • 💡 He asserts that the fuel cut-off switches being placed in the 'cut-off' position would cause engines to flame out, indicating a human action.

Human Factor vs. Boeing Fault

  • 👨‍✈️ Scheibner firmly believes a human hand was involved in placing both fuel control switches to cut-off, leading to the engine flame-out.
  • ⚠️ He distinguishes between intentional and unintentional actions by the pilot or co-pilot, but insists a human was responsible for the switch placement.
  • 🚫 The expert explicitly states that Boeing does not have fault in this specific incident, separating it from other potential past issues with the manufacturer.
  • 🧩 He criticizes the tendency to blame Boeing for this crash, emphasizing that past issues should not be confused with the circumstances of this particular event.
