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”.

Canada Post Cuts 50 Managerial Positions Amid Financial Struggles

 

Canada Post has announced the layoff of nearly 50 managers as part of a broad corporate restructuring aimed at curbing ongoing financial losses. The Crown corporation, which has faced years of operational and fiscal challenges, confirmed that about half of the impacted managers are based in Ottawa, with the remainder located in Toronto and other regions across the country.

Officials stated that these difficult decisions were made in response to what they described as a “critical financial situation” and “significant operational challenges.” The move follows earlier restructuring efforts—including the elimination of 20 percent of senior roles—to streamline processes and reduce overhead costs, while a federal loan of roughly $1 billion provides temporary financial relief to keep the service running smoothly.

Despite the management cuts, Canada Post assures Canadians that there will be no disruption in mail and parcel services. However, the decision has raised concerns among union representatives, who have long argued that too many managerial positions exist within the organization. As the postal service continues its efforts to modernize and return to financial health, further adjustments may be on the horizon.
