Fuel Cutoff Mystery: Air India Crash Sparks Global Concern

A preliminary investigation into the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 has revealed that both engine fuel cutoff switches were flipped just seconds after takeoff, starving the aircraft of power and leading to its fatal descent. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, en route from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick on June 12, crashed into a residential area, killing 260 people — including 19 on the ground — and leaving only one survivor. According to India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), cockpit voice recordings captured one pilot asking the other why the fuel had been cut off. The response: “I did not do so”.

Trump Vows New Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, Threatening Global Trade

 

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will impose new tariffs on products from Canada, Mexico, and China as part of his strategy to address illegal immigration and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl. Trump stated that he will sign an executive order on his first day in office to implement a 25% tariff on all products entering the United States from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China.

Trump's announcement has sparked concerns among economists and trade experts, who warn that such measures could lead to higher prices for American consumers and potential retaliatory actions from the affected countries. The tariffs are expected to impact a wide range of products, including automobiles, electronics, and agricultural goods.

Canadian and Mexican officials have yet to respond to Trump's announcement, but the move is likely to strain trade relations between the three countries. The tariffs could also complicate the implementation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which was designed to facilitate trade and economic cooperation in North America.

As the January 20th inauguration date approaches, businesses and consumers are bracing for the potential economic fallout from these tariffs.
