A black-box recording and report details indicate that the flight’s captain switched off fuel flow to engines.

A black-box recording of dialogue between the Air India flight's two pilots indicates it was the captain who turned off switches that controlled fuel flowing to the plane's two engines, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday,

The cockpit voice recording captured one pilot asking, “Why did you cut off?” and the other replying, “I didn’t.” The AAIB report, however, did not identify which pilot said what.
