[00:00:00]India is about to release a new interim report on the deadly Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash that killed 260 people last year. But here's the twist, it's not the final report. Investigators say the case is too complex and they still need more time. So what could this interim report reveal? According to earlier findings, both engine fuel switches on the 787 were flipped almost simultaneously just seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad to London. That reportedly starved both engines of fuel.

[00:00:28]Now investigators are focusing on three big possibilities: pilot action inside the cockpit, a possible mechanical issue with the fuel switches, or a system failure nobody noticed before. Earlier this year, pilots on another Air India Dreamliner reported fuel switches behaving abnormally during engine start.

[00:00:45]India's aviation regulator is now even traveling to Boeing's Seattle facilities to observe switch testing. The upcoming interim report is expected to be much more detailed than the original 15-page preliminary report. But families may still have to wait longer for final answers.
