The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner collapsed in the busy suburb, only a few seconds after he left Ahmedabad Airport this morning and claimed the life of all passenger.
Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who had 8,200 hours of flying experience, desperately cried ‘Mayday … no thrust, losing power, unable to’ lift before the plane went down and hit a residence.
Air India confirmed tonight that 241 of the 242 people on board flight AI171 died in the crash.
Miracle British Survivor Vishwashkumar Rameh, who flew next to his brother, remembers ‘a loud sound … Then the plane crashed’.
The Boeing was not much more than 400 ft above the ground when the two experienced pilots on board apparently lost the current in both engines.
They then had 17 tormenting seconds to struggle with the controls before their ultramodern aircraft hit a medical college, satisfied with doctors and sent a fireball in the air.
Verhaen video images shows the fatal last moments of the jet, because it quickly lost the height and speed that the cockpit would have filled with a cacophony of frightening alarms.
Captain Sabharwal and Clive Kundar, his co-pilot with 1,100 hours of experience, gave a desperate Mayday call warning that the plane lost ‘power’.
The images seem to show that they are hopelessly trying to push the nose of their sinking plane, moments before the devastating impact.

A video posted on social media seemed to show the aircraft in a controlled way with a high nose corner and the landing gear that has been used

The plane disappeared from sight behind trees and buildings before a huge fireball broke out on the horizon
Instead of the planned 4,200 miles, nine hours ’50 minutes non-stop journey to Gatwick, the Air India flight only passed 1.5 miles past the end of the runway, in the densely populated Meghaninagar neighborhood of the city in Gujarat, Northwest India.
The jet hit the hostel of the BJ Medical College in the doctors, sent debris, smoke and fire hundreds of foot in the air and turned the entire area into what looked like a war zone.
Like most on board, at least 50 people would have been killed on the floor and scores more injured.
Doctors, students and employees have lunch in the canteen of the hostel when the landing frame of the Boeing 787 embedded in the hall with a deafening tree. The hellish video showed Shellshocked dinners who fled in the midst of tables that were recorded with abandoned lunches.
Nowadays, aviation experts put two leading theories forward: a swarm of birds that are sucked into the engines, which they both eliminate when needed, and a mystery about the ‘flaps’ of the plane.
Captain Saurabh Bhatnagar, a former senior pilot, said that the engines may have failed after a bird strike, similar to the Jeju Air-Crash in South Korea last December.
He said: ‘From the images I have seen, it looks like a great facie of several birds. The start was perfect. ‘
Salil Colge, Aviation Management teacher at University College Birmingham, added: “Historically, there were reports of various bird attacks in this area in the past, and that could be one of the possibilities.”
But others said there were no clouds of engines in the video images that can be expected from bird stitching.
Marco Chan, from Buckinghamshire New University, in Wycombe, asked the apparent position of the flaps on the wings. There was speculation that the plane was not correctly set for taking off, where the flaps were not used correctly. They are segments of the wing that can be extended to help with Lift. If they are set incorrectly, they could block the plane.
Terry Tozer, a former pilot and author of the book ‘Why Planes Crash’, said Sky News A problem with the flaps was “a fairly logical explanation for a well -designed plane that sinks to the earth in this way.”
The tail end of the hull of 186 feet was depicted that stuck from a higher floor of the college and other large chunks, including a severed wing, were spread over the neighborhood. About five or six nearby buildings were immediately converted into Infernos by the catastrophic fireball; The Air India plane was loaded with 80 to 90 tonnes of air fuel for the long journey to London.
