M. F. Husain is perhaps Indias most famous artist of modern times. Famous for his stunning paintings of Indian women, and his habit of getting into controversies, he is also a multi-faceted person, having made movies, and served in Indias Parliament. I am sure he will like to come back to India some day as he cannot be separated from Indian soil.

For BCCI and Indian players, money is first and not the nation. Ban them and we do not want a sports team which is not patriotic.

Without India participating the charm will not be there in Asian games cricket. I think and BCCI and Asian games authorities should find a way in resheduling so that India can participate.

I wonder why airports do not install a camera which records the take offs and landings of all the aircrafts? If installed these video clippings would have given the vital clues.

In our anguish, we may spread the blame too thin and in haste. Accidents of this nature will have exhaustive analysis by National Aviation Safety Board. Remedial actions will come.
There is of course the safety track record of AI, though fairly good, not the best. To improve this, there is need for us to develop better skills and change our won mindset of mediocrity to that of excellence.

I am shy of of flying AI unless it is the only option. I should not be blamed, because QA/QC of AI services do not meet my expectations of excellence.

This is also the case with most Indian institutions, whether in private or public sector. Hence privatization, extension of runway, and modernization of airports may not be the panacea. A holistic approach to reach levels of excellence in everything we do is not in sight, but we can strive for it. Let us begin with ourselves.

For all these questions and disaster which killed 158 people, only Aviation Minister Praful Patel has to answer.Where was the urgency to inaugurate this airport in a hurry without meeting all these problems and convert into International Airport?

A. Sharma, Doha

We should have our own Indian pilots for our domestic flights. Only Indian pilots are familiar with our climatic and geographical conditions and also are sensitive to the Indian needs. It is high time we provide better facilities and better working conditions to Indian pilots to stop them from going abroad towards greener pastures. It is common knowledge that Indian pilots are poorly paid compared to their counterparts in developed countries and also are overworked. It is high time that the govt. looks into these aspects on priority. It is always better to be pro-active than re-active.

I would be interested to know what it would cost to extend the runway by 1000 ft and what it costs for the ministers inaugural ceremony of the new terminal. Important to know if the local authorities have approached the civil aviation ministry for this vital extension or this has only been considered after the tragic plane-crash. Because, so many innocent people have lost their lives only because of the negligence.

Gilbert Dsouza, Belle / Florida
01/06/2010 09:48:02

In most of the accidents and mishaps across globe is attributed to the human error factor. Just because of ones mistake hundreds have to lose their lives. As per the report, the pilot descended at a higher speed and the co pilot was concerned and advised the captain to abort landing and go around, but the pilot was adamant and misjudged his colleagues judgment and took chance, thereby killing himself and other 157 on board.

The Air France airbus 340 flight in 2005 overshot the runway and went down the ravine. The terrain was similar to the Bajpe airport overrun area. The difference is all 307 survived the post-crash fire and were rescued. The 158 passengers in India were not so lucky with the rescue effort at Bajpe. Are all our airports capable of quick emergency response and rescue efforts? Areas surrounding the airports are all built up and there is no clear passage for crash tenders to access an aircraft in case of an accident during approach or during a take-off. What needs to be done is to hold the plane within the periphery of the table top in times of crises.

Simon Noronha is a gentleman businessman. I know very well that he has always helped youngsters who come to Dubai in search of job and particularly he has helped several youth from Moodubelle by giving them jobs. He has also contributed for several projects such as Moodubelle church, English school building and several other social causes. May God always bless and protect you and your family.

As you rightly mentioned acquiring additional 200 acres of land is a difficult task for the government since powerful politicians are owning land around the airport.
Hope the aviation ministry will take necessary measures immediately to increase the safety of airport to meet the required international standards thus building confidence of the travelers.

Valerian Alva, Moodubelle / Dubai
01/06/2010 02:50:05

Civil Aviation and Government should do more to make it a safe airport. Now after losing 158 precious lives government has woken up and decision is made to extend the runway. How many more lives to be sacrificed before the project actually takes off.

It is really unfortunate that 158 of our people had to sacrifice their lives to increase 1000 ft of runway. Therefore, this run way is very expensive for us.

Simon Pinto, Pithrodi / Sharjah
01/06/2010 01:10:44

Mangalore airport is safe, the recorded safe landings until the recent crash is evident to that. But when it can be made safer like other airports why not do it. I think the focus now should be on taking measures to upgrade it and prevent any future mishap.

Mangalore Air Port is safe and one need not be panicky about it. Even in Santacruz plane accident has taken place. It is accident. Here as it is now learnt, Pilots, errors caused the crash. Run way is sufficient and the Government has taken decisions to provide modern radar and other equipments and also to extend the Run way by another 1000 Feet. Therefore the media may take care not to create fear in the hearts and minds of the People. Death or suffering is God s plans and not as Human beings think or plans. One has to be supplicant to the Almight. Accidents take place even on road travels. Therefore my view is that every one must be fear less and leave the life and matter in hands of God with faith and live a fearless life thanking and Praising HIM for that is we feel and enjoy. He is Great. He knows to take care of every one. Fear kills the Man than any other thing. Give Thanks to the Lord and He will be with you always taking care of you at every step.

India Values human life worth one lakh rupees for adults and 50,000 rupees for children as per the government regulations. Being a highly populted nation, People losing life for no reason specially with accidents on air, train or road is considered normal as long as the hign officials are safe. It is now Praful patel has thought of extending the runway by 1000mts at the cost of this tragedy. The reason is not known yet for the tragedy and it will be silently forgotten

Whenever my flight took off from Manglore airport, I wondered what would happen if plane does not leave the ground for few seconds. This airport is built on top of a hill and both ends of runway has deep vally. I hope there will be a new standard for I ndian airports after May 22nd tragic incident. ( Especially with government s plans to build 400 new airports ).

Does the fact that the author and us-those who comment- are based expatriates, (and potential immigrants?) give us a clue about what is wrong with India and Indians? Meritocracy hasn t been our priority. Serfdom was, is and is likely to be for some more time.
