Overview

• The Boeing 787, en route to London with 230 passengers and 12 crew, crashed into a medical hostel shortly after takeoff on June 12, killing at least 265 people including ground victims.
• Vishwash Kumar Ramesh is the sole survivor of the crash, and passenger Bhoomi Chauhan avoided the disaster by missing the flight due to traffic delays.
• Captain Sumeet Sabharwal sent a mayday message stating “thrust not reached, we’re going down” just moments before the aircraft impacted the hostel.
• Authorities have retrieved one of the plane’s two flight recorders and are still searching for the second device to aid the investigation.
• Preliminary probes by multiple agencies focus on a loss of engine thrust during takeoff, prompting India’s aviation regulator to order detailed inspections of all Air India Boeing 787s.
