158 Innocent lives were nipped in the Bud though 8 of them were fortunate enough to narrate the Last few moments of this Phenomenal tragedy.
Routine analysis showed that the safety norms have not been adhered to while costructing this Airport atop a hill.As per the aviation safety norms atleast 300 meters on either side of the air strip has to kept just in case of any sudden emergency ,whereas this air strip has only about 90 metres of space.Further at the end of the air strip the hill ends into a steep gorge.
This Airport is Classified as ''SPECIAL'' because of the peril inherent in its Construction.Even a small margin of error would culminate in a Disaster which is what precisely happened.
The Directorate General oF Civil Aviation and the Airports Authority of India have to answer this to the families of those who have perished in this AVOIDABLE Targedy.
As per the norms in our Country some Commission would be set up to enquire about this accident which itself would give its report after spending colossal amount of money and time and blame the Pilots as it is easy to pass off the buck onto PEOPLE WHO CANNOT ANSWER OR DEFEND THEMSELVES.
Lastly there was more drama attached as the Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel took moral responsibilty and offered to resign.Every one knew the out come of the Stage managed show as the PM refused to accept the resignation.
Politicians try to seek mileage and publicity and try to label themselves as Heroes even in such adverse conditions.
The only silver lining amongst this gloom was the logistical support and help provided by the Local Population who despite the adverse conditions,the surging inferno battled and saved 8 precious lives,who lived to tell the horrendous tale of one of the most disasterous Accident in Aviation History in recent times occuring in the sub-continent.
