"Pilot's Last Message Was 'Mayday'": Aviation Ministry On Ahmedabad Air Crash

The pilots of London-bound Air India flight AI-171 - which crashed 36 seconds after take-off from Ahmedabad - sent one last radio message to Air Traffic Control at 1.39 pm, the Aviation Ministry said Saturday afternoon. The Ministry said the pilots made the distress call after the plane failed to rise above 650 feet. But the ATC's responses got no reply; the plane had crashed by then.
