Air India crash: new details in probe shift focus to plane's captain, report says

A cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight that crashed last month indicates the captain turned off the switches that controlled fuel flowing to the plane's engines, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The newspaper cited people familiar with US officials' early assessment of evidence uncovered in the investigation into the crash, which killed 260 people. The first officer, who was flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, asked the more experienced captain why he moved the switches to the 'cut-off' position after it climbed off the runway, the report said. The first officer expressed surprise and then panicked, while the captain seemed to remain calm, the WSJ reported. A preliminary report did not identify which pilot said what during the exchange. 02:40 Air India plane bound for London crashes moments after take off in Ahmedabad Air India plane bound for London crashes moments after take off in Ahmedabad India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Boeing and Air India did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report.

Smurfs movie review: Rihanna can't save subpar return of the beloved blue creatures

2/5 stars Smurfs opens with the population of Smurfs' Village harmoniously singing the 'Happy Song' from the original 1980s animation series featuring the little blue creatures. As the warm glow of nostalgia creeps in, director Chris Miller (Shrek the Third) cuts to Papa Smurf on the decks, blasting out an obnoxious pop track. 'Now that's what I call a banger,' he yells. This unfortunately sets the tone for the latest film about Belgian comic artist Peyo's cute creations. Play Smurfs is primarily a marketing tool for Rihanna, who voices the blonde-haired Smurfette and provides material for the soundtrack.
