All but one of the 242 people on board the Air India plane were killed — with one man miraculously walking away with apparently minor injuries — and others lost their lives as the Dreamliner jet crashed into the hostel.
Shortly after lift-off, the captain called out down his radio: “Mayday … no thrust, losing power, unable to lift”.
Mr Sabharwal had years of experience and had racked up 8200 hours in the air.
The plane had just a few hundred feet of altitude when the power apparently cut out.
The two pilots wrestled for 17 seconds with the controls before the jet careened into the buildings below.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner lost contact just seconds after take-off, according to flight tracking website Flightradar.
Air India confirmed on Thursday evening that just one person survived out of the 242 people on board.
