    These fuel switches cannot be accidently turned off, the switch must be pulled up. Obviously one of the pilots turned off both fuel switches in a deliberate act.  The fuel switches were OFF for 10 sec and 14 sec  so engines were OFF

    08:08:33 - The aircraft reached takeoff decision speed.
    08:08:39 - The aircraft air/ground sensors transitioned to air mode, consistent with liftoff.
    08:08:42 - Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF.
    08:08:52 - Engine 1 switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN.
    08:08:56 - Engine 2 switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN.
    08:09:05 - A MAYDAY call was made by one of the pilots.
