Hundreds mourn 'hero' Air India pilot at funeral service

Hundreds gathered in Mumbai today to honour Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, the Air India pilot who has been hailed as a hero for limiting casualties on the ground during last week’s crash. Captain Sabharwal issued a mayday call to air traffic controllers moments after takeoff and residents on the ground have credited him with avoiding a large residential building that was directly on the flight path. Investigators have recovered flight AI171's cockpit voice recorder and will analyse the pilots’ final words to help determine the cause of the crash that killed more than 270, 241 of whom were passengers and crew.
