‘Take care’: Pilot’s last words before doomed Air India flight
July 19, 2025 at 23:42
New details about the captain of Air India flight 171 have emerged as speculation continues about what caused the tragedy.
The lead pilot in the Air India plane disaster said he would “be back soon” as he left for work on the day flight 171 crashed, killing 260 people.
Speculation has mounted about Captain Sumeet Sabharwal after the probe into the June 12 crash indicated switches controlling fuel flow to the plane’s engines were turned off shortly after takeoff.
Some experts who have reviewed the initial report from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) believe a pilot on board moved the switches.
