A cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight that crashed last month supports the view that the captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane's engines, said a source briefed on U.

A preliminary report released last week included detail about the fuel, saying that the fuel to the plane's engines appeared to have been shut off.

A cockpit recording suggests the captain may have shut off fuel switches before Air India Flight AI171 crashed, killing 260 people.
