"For context: these are the Engine Start Levers (fuel cutoff switches) on the XXX. They are a kind of locking switch; you have to pull them outward (back) to move them. Once moved to a new position they lock back in place. The triangular metal on either side are switch guards. The design is an old one. On at least one earlier occasion the switches were moved by accident; that investigation revealed another incident in which the switches were also probably moved by accident. Im not saying that is what happened here but the context is important" @MCCCANM on X 2025-07-11 23:26:24 UTC 32.2K followers, 281.2K engagements
