Liftoff at 8:08:39, fuel switches moved to CUTOFF starting 8:08:49, a second apart. 8:08:52 switch 1 was moved back to RUN, 8:08:56 switch 2 was moved back to RUN. Data recording stopped at 8:09:11.
So two seconds after second switch was moved to CUTOFF the first switch was moved back to RUN and four seconds later the second switch was moved back to RUN.
Report doesn’t say when the conversation described above took place, doesn’t mention other conversation or noises, I am thinking about noises of a struggle. I assume investigators can figure out who said what and infer who moved the switches to CUTOFF. Co-pilot was flying, pilot (the senior guy) was monitoring.
This is insane.

I guess everyone who knew or had contact with the pilots will be questioned.
