According to data from the flight recorder both the fuel control switches, which are normally used to switch the engines on or off when on the ground, were moved from the run to the cutoff position shortly after takeoff. This caused both engines to lose thrust.
This caused confusion in the cockpit, with the voice recording catching one pilot asking the other why he “cut off” – The other pilot responded that he didn’t do it.
“The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec,” an excerpt from the report stated.
“The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cutoff.
“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.”

Flight 108, operated by a Boeing 787-8, departed IAD at 18:11 on Friday and was climbing through 5,000 feet when the left engine failed. The pilots declared a "mayday", and after a tense half hour in which it dumped fuel, were able to safely return to the airport without harm to passengers or crew

LATAM Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner making an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with its Ram Air Turbine (RAT) deployed.
This event occurred on July 31st, 2025 (or possibly August 1st, 2025, according to some reports).
The aircraft, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, had been in a holding pattern over the Pacific Ocean for nearly an hour before returning to LAX.
The deployed Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is a small turbine that can be extended from an aircraft to provide emergency power in case of a main engine or generator failure.
Videos of the emergency landing, showing the deployed RAT, went viral on social media.
