Mumbai Bids Farewell to Heroic Air India Co-Pilot Clive Kunder

An emotional gathering took place in Mumbai as hundreds paid tribute to First Officer Clive Kunder, the Air India co-pilot who perished in last week's Ahmedabad crash. Mourners, including his family and friends, assembled at Sewri Christian Cemetery to bid goodbye.

The Air India flight AI-171, bound for London, tragically crashed shortly after take-off, with almost all passengers and crew losing their lives. The crash also claimed the lives of many on the ground when the plane hit a medical hostel complex.

First Officer Kunder's remains were brought from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and were kept at his home prior to the burial. The ill-fated flight was under the command of Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who, along with Kunder, was lauded for his dedicated service.
