Air India flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 carrying 242 people, crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad on its way to London.

Sabharwal was the pilot-in-command of the London-bound AI-171 which crashed into a medical college’s hostel in Ahmedabad soon after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. He was one of the 12 crew members, including first pilot Clive Kunder, who lost their lives in the tragic accident killing 241 onboard.

Medical students who survived when an Air India plane crashed into their hostel say their first reaction was to help treat the injured

At least 270 died when the Air India flight crashed into the campus of a medical college in Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Only one passenger among the 242 aboard survived.

Investigators have now recovered the cockpit voice recorder from last week’s devastating Air India crash and will analyse the pilots’ final words to help determine what caused the disaster that killed more than 270 people.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.

PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in an official statement, confirmed that a second black box has been recovered from the Ahmedabad plane crash site.

In the video, the woman is seen smiling and giggling as she films the interior of an Air India flight. Her demeanor, given the video's context, has provoked strong reactions on social media.
