In addition to unveiling the final words of the Air India plane pilot, reports have released his photo and the promise he made to his father about spending some time with him a few days before the crash.

A routine departure turned catastrophic when Air India Flight 171 plummeted from the sky just moments after takeoff, resulting in a devastating crash. The aircraft had only been airborne for 11 seconds when it encountered a critical failure.

What should have been a standard ascent quickly escalated into chaos as the situation, in the words of a news outlet’s report, “suddenly became an irrecoverable disaster.”

Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, leading the flight, radioed a chilling emergency message to ground control — “Mayday… no thrust, losing power, unable to lift!”

Over the following 19 seconds, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner began losing altitude, drifting to the ground before smashing into buildings. The crash claimed the lives of nearly everyone on board and inflicted casualties on the ground, as stunned air traffic controllers could do nothing but watch.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, though officials warn that answers may take months. Among the possible causes being considered are bird strikes and mechanical failure.

As investigations continue into the catastrophic crash, authorities have now released the names and photographs of several crew members involved in the disaster, including the flight’s pilots and cabin crew.

Accompanying Captain Sabharwal, a seasoned aviator with 8,200 hours of flying experience, in the cockpit was First Officer Clive Kunder. Hailing from Mumbai, Kunder had logged 1,100 hours in the air and was a graduate of the Paris Air Flight School in Florida, according to local reports. More details on the story will follow shortly.
