  Well, we’re told it can’t happen by accident. I agree that it probably can’t, but I also don’t know how all the wiring and programming is made.

      My point wasn’t that the switch was or wasn’t flipped, but that, do we know there isn’t a bug or electrical failure that caused the computer to think it was flipped when it wasn’t.

      Idk it seems very unlikely given how carefully designed aircrafts are, but so many things are less “control by wire” though airlanes due seem to retain that safety still, but Boeing’s recent decade with the new max planes def leaves me with some doubts of their quality and design decisions.

        I was gonna say it is a boeing so they should check anyway … and it looks like they are:

        India on Monday ordered its airlines to examine fuel switches on several Boeing models, while South Korea said it would order a similar measure as scrutiny intensified of fuel switch locks at the centre of an investigation into a deadly Air India crash.
