Air India Express 737-800 Carrying Crashed at Kozhikode

This is one of those 'table top' airports with 35-40 ft drop on either side of the runway. Landing long combined with torrential rain is a recipe for disaster. More people would have died if the aircraft caught fire after landing, but luckily that did not happen. Sad to hear that both pilots are dead.

To borrow from Sherlock Holmes: “It is hazardous to theorize in advance of the facts.” I’ll await the report from the Indian investigators.

Most of the aviators are aware of what happened externally to the ill fated AC,on its final leg.What 'actuallly' enused is yet to be known.Let the reports come.Let's not speculate.May the souls of ALL those who die,Rest in Peace !

Initial information indicates the plane over ran the runway and dropped into a valley. The nose of the aircraft separated and at least two dead including a pilot.
