Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who had 8,200 hours of experience, was today named as the pilot of the doomed Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plunged into the busy suburb just seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport this morning, claiming the lives of all but one…

Inside the cockpit of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, the two pilots may have already known that they were doomed to die.

The London Gatwick-bounded Dreamliner plane was carrying 242 passengers, including 53 Britons - with none thought to have survived except one UK national.

The captain was reportedly a few months from retirement.
