    In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx20p2x9093t

    Until there’s independent evidence otherwise I’m going to assume either fudged maintenance reports or the switch designer at boeing is about to commit suicide by shooting themself in the back of the head hours before talking to the press.

      Surely someone committing suicide and taking hundreds of people with him in the process wouldn’t lie about it.

        It’s also possible that the one that did it said “why did you do that” to try and shift blame for reason(s) of insurance payout, shame, or something else and the one that said “I didn’t” is telling the truth.

        Whichever one did it, that video from Captain Steeeve makes a pretty good case that one of them did.
