India, there was an accident while bringing people from abroad as a special plane to avoid the corona crisis. Heavy rain poured in, and the plane with 190 people got off and two rivers broke out, causing great damage.

night of heavy rain, rescuers are busy moving next to the two aircraft.

I work hard to save even one more person.

Airliner chairs and fixtures are scattered around the split fuselage.

At around 7:40 pm on the 7th local time, an Air India Express plane that was about to land at Kojikod International Airport in southern India left the runway, and two rivers fell.

It was fortunate that it did not lead to a fire.

At least 18 people, including pilots, were killed and 150 people were taken to the hospital for treatment.

The accident airliner was a special plane for Indians who had been trapped in the UAE due to the spread of Corona 19, and 190 passengers and crew were on board.

Cozy Kod Airport is considered a difficult place to land, as it has a steep slope right next to the runway.

[Hardip Singh Puri/Indian Aviation Minister: It seems that it slipped while trying to land at the end of the runway in heavy rain and fell down a cliff of 10 meters.] The

accident plane went down to the runway after attempting to land several times in heavy rain, but local media reported a problem with the landing gear. I'm estimating whether there was.
