Chilling Final Alerts: Captain Sumeet Sabharwal Issued Warning of Power Loss Prior to Indian Air Flight Crash

By now, the distressing news concerning Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and the Indian Air Flight has circulated widely. This incident is truly heartbreaking. Mere moments prior to the tragic crash, Captain Sabharwal issued a stark 'Mayday' call, alerting to the aircraft’s loss of power. With an impressive 8,200 flying hours under his belt, he desperately communicated, ‘Mayday…no thrust, losing power, unable to lift’ before the plane struck a residential area. Air India confirmed that 241 of the 242 passengers on flight AI171 succumbed to the crash. Miraculously, British passenger Viswashkumar Ramesh survived, recounting, 'a loud noise…then the plane crashed.' At just 400 feet above ground, the dual-engined Boeing tragically lost power, forcing the pilots to battle controls for 17 harrowing seconds, culminating in a catastrophic collision with a medical college, unleashing a fireball into the atmosphere. Expert perspectives suggest the possibility of bird strikes impacting engine performance, amplified by previous incidents in the region. Our thoughts remain with the victims and their families.
