The crash of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner in India occurred shortly after the fuel supply to the engines was turned off, according to a preliminary investigation of the crash.

"The aircraft reached its maximum registered speed and immediately after that, the fuel supply switches of engines 1 and 2 turned off. On the recording of conversations in the cockpit, one of the pilots can be heard asking the other why he turned off the switches. The co-pilot replied that he had not done so," the report said on Friday.

It is noted that this happened a few minutes before the crash. The report says that one of the engines was able to restart, but this could not stop the sharp decrease in the speed of the aircraft. At the same time, there were no birds in the flight area of the liner that could get into the engine and cause an accident.

In addition, the report says that only one black box survived the disaster.
