Pilot's final words revealed

Indian aviation officials have confirmed the pilot issued distress calls before the Gatwick-bound flight crashed in Gujarat state on 12 June, killing 241 people on board and at least 29 on the ground.

"Thrust not achieved... falling... Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" the pilot said moments before the aircraft began losing height and erupted in a fireball.

The London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner struck a medical college hostel in a residential area of the northwestern city of Ahmedabad minutes after takeoff. One passenger survived.
