A Mangalore bound Air India Express flight coming in from Dubai with 166 people on board crashed early on Saturday killing 158 people. The Air India Express IX-812, operated by a Boeing 737-800, had 160 passengers and six crew members on board overshot the touchdown point on the Mangalore airport runway by 2000 feet on Saturday at 6:30 AM while attempting to land.
What is equally disturbing, (I think,) is the fact that the family of the dead will be given just 4,264.4 U.S. dollars in lieu of a lost life!
