India’s Supreme Court has declared that the pilot of the doomed Air India Dreamliner that crashed in June is not to blame.
On Friday, the court told the grieving father of Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who was at the helm of Flight AI-171 when it crashed into a hostel in Ahmedabad, that his son bore no fault.
“Don’t carry the burden on yourself. The pilot is not to be blamed,” said the bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, adding that even the official accident report made no such accusation.
