It would be the first time such switches remain in RUN even after the forces of a crash.
The spring and gate/bridge together are the single mechanism that prevents uncommanded operation of the switch. Neither works without the other.

The BBC have a report today:

Blame game over Air India crash goes on
Nearly five months after a plane crash in India which killed 260 people, the investigation has become mired in controversy – with the country's Supreme Court the latest to weigh in.

An interim report was released in July, but critics argue it unfairly focused on the actions of the pilots, diverting attention away from a possible fault with the aircraft.

On Friday, a judge in India's Supreme Court insisted that nobody could blame the aircraft's captain.

His comments came a week after the airline's boss insisted there was no problem with the aircraft.
