Pilot’s ‘tragic final words’ on Air India flight suggest what went wrong as black box found

Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London from Ahmedabad, crashed moments after takeoff on June 12, killing 241 of the 242 people on board. The aircraft struck a hostel building at BJ Medical College, resulting in a fiery explosion.

The airline confirmed: “Of the 242 aboard, there are 241 confirmed fatalities. The sole survivor is being treated in hospital.”

The passenger list included 169 Indian nationals, 53 British, 7 Portuguese, and 1 Canadian. The tragedy has left families grieving across multiple countries.

The pilot’s final transmission revealed a critical emergency. According to the London Evening Standard, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal radioed, “no thrust… unable to lift,” when the plane was under 650 feet in the air.

Flight data shows the aircraft lost contact just seconds after takeoff, pointing to a sudden and severe failure—likely engine-related.
