Apparently nothing wrong with the plane. Now investigation will focus on the pilots. One of the pilot cutoff fuel to the engines.

The other immediately notices the error and tries to correct the mistake but it's too late...

Redditors think this is a deliberate suicide. imo, it's more likely due to sheer incompetence.

Will scoot proceed with their plan to hire 100 pilots from South Asia? India has very weak guardrails against fraudsters, scammers, imposters etc. very poor accountability.
