At least 14 people, including the pilot and co-pilot, have been killed as an Air India Express aircraft carrying 191 passengers (including crew) skidded off the tabletop runway and fell into a 30-feet valley, breaking into two pieces while landing at Kerala’s Kozhikode airport late Friday evening.
Several passengers have been injured and rushed to a medical facility. Initial reports say the incident took place at around 8.15 pm.
As per the images at hand, the plane can be seen in severely damaged condition. It was a Dubai-Kozhikode Air India flight number IX-1344.
As the plane crashed, the first 5 rows of seats suffered extensive damage.
It is being reported that it is highly unlikely that passengers seated in these rows would survive the crash.
