Pray for those who have lost there family in manglore plane crash

An Air India Boeing 737-800 attempting to land on a hilltop runway in good weather and clear visibility shot beyond the runway, careened over the cliff, and exploded into a fiery wreckage on Saturday, killing 158 passengers and crew in India's worst aviation

According to eye-witness, the plane landed at 6.02am. In a matter of seconds, the pilot seemed to have lost control and sped towards the end of Runway 24, overshooting the sand-bedded safety area of 90 metres. When the Mangalore airport was expanded and the runway lengthened in 2006, some critics had claimed that a 90-metre safety area was insufficient as a 300-metre area was the norm.

Not being able to stop with the 90-metre safety area, the aircraft, barely 2-1/2-years old, plunged 300 metres down the cliff into the forested valley and broke up into flames after hitting a landing aid called the localizer at the extreme end of the safety area.
May god give them a peaceful soul. Government shud investigate and find out the cause of accident so that all these unfortunate things should not happen again.
