I do not suppose I should go into detail as we all know what plane I am talking about
Shocking news that the switching off the fuel led to this disaster Only the pilots have access to those switches and surely one of them must have resorted to it.

This is what I have read:
"In 2018, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) highlighting a potential issue with fuel control switch locking mechanisms in certain Boeing aircraft. The Boeing 787-8—the same model as AI 171—was included. "...
This means that may be the two pilots are innocent!
Have a look Jim @Ineeddentures

That was in the year 2018, Surely that was set right. What was the purpose then to highlight it?
Let's wait for further information

@allknowing Because it was published yesterday suggesting that "may be" it was not replaced.
