  • May their Soul rest in Peace. From the first impression the terrain seems to be very difficult one for pilots to manoeuvre. There has been 32,000 landings since 2006 opening of the airport without incindence. All the commercial pilots are well trained for such landing terrain and they also gain experience, but still the level of difficult is the same. At the spot of touch down this 'level of difficulty' was overcome by the pilots experience for all the 32,000 landing since 2006 but this time. The pilot may have hit the handle a split second earlier and the aircraft landed just short of the runway and split by the impact of the uneven surface (the front part got veered to one side and the other part -from the middle to the tail- went off perpendicular to it.
  • I EXPRESS DEEP SORROW FOR ALL THE DEAD AND WISH SURVIVOURS TO RECOVER FULLY. Now nobody will question the followings which as a technical person I will ask? 1. Who has recommended the orientation of the new air strip, which is probably made with the idea of making it INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ? There is no level land and adequeate for even a SECOND RUNWAY equal to the existing one !
  • This Should Never Happen Again...........so sad think of kids who were on on board....My Prayers To All....

  • We can only have speculations and speculations. Truth was that the plane was fully loaded with petrol . Some peaple are harping about runway had enough length to land with any latest model. But there was no extra length incase of overshoot or any fault. So there was no factor safety. There were no cameras on run way and even the radar was also of retro quality. Everybody pointing fingures on pilot error . I think itz the easy escape as both r dead. Even if the black box was found , the exact decoded information may not be made public becoz its not in the well interest of airport or air india. One can easily assume that report will blame pilots only. Besides it , can't think of agony those passengers went threw final seconds . Pain they went threw burning in inferno and suffocation . May God give them the eternal peace.
