Air India pilot’s terrifying last words have been made public
On June 12, 2025, a terrible accident happened in Ahmedabad, India, when Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, crashed from the skies shortly after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
A flight to London Gatwick with 230 passengers and 12 crew members crashed, killing everyone on board. This made the country mourn and brought communities together to help those who were affected.
A Deadly Climb The jet had a big problem just a few minutes after taking off. Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who has more than 8,200 hours of flying time, and co-pilot Clive Kundar fought hard to make the plane safe.
Sabharwal’s voice was full of desperation as he called air traffic control: “Mayday…” We can’t climb higher because we don’t have power and we’re losing push. The engines had a hard time keeping the plane in the air.
The jet crashed into a house about 1.5 miles from the airport, and within seconds, it exploded into a massive blaze. As the plane and the houses close caught fire, thick black smoke rose into the air. A Big Load Sadly, the disaster killed 241 people.
The only survivor, a British citizen of Indian ancestry, was plucked from the debris and is now getting critical medical care. Brave emergency workers pushed through the flames and debris, but the damage was so bad that there was little hope for anyone who was still alive.
Families in India and beyond are grieved by the sudden loss, and the sadness has touched whole towns. Air India published a sincere statement in which they said they were very sorrow for the victims and promised to fully support the investigation.
The plane, a 12-year-old Boeing 787-8, was a good friend for their long trips. The airline has promised to help the families and is determined to finding out what happened while the authorities look into it. Searching for clues The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India has begun a full inquiry, and experts from Boeing will help.
Early reports say that the plane’s heavy fuel load, which it needed for the long voyage across the continent, may have made the fire worse and made it harder for rescuers to get to the scene.
To figure out what caused the crash, investigators are carefully looking at flight data, wreckage, and the pilots’ last messages. The government and Indian Railways acted immediately.
Vande Bharat trains were dispatched out to help passengers who were stuck, and local officials made sure that those who needed it got medical help and support. This shows that individuals in this country are coming together to help each other during terrible times.
The Pain of a Nation This crash is a sad first: it’s the only time a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has ever killed someone. This loss is very sad for India, because flying is a sign of progress and a way to connect with the rest of the world.
The goal of the investigation is to understand how bad this catastrophe was and to stop it from happening again. India is taking a minute right now to mourn those who have died and to help those who are still alive during this very sad period.
