If it was so, we should have had multiple incidents if not accidents of these type in the same runway before which we haven't had.<br /><br />For me, this looks more like propaganda with some motive rather than plain breast beating that we said it so.Prashanthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-76430130454140549332010-05-25T04:48:09.493+05:302010-05-25T04:48:09.493+05:30@Dilip, I agree, we should look at how the airport...@Dilip, I agree, we should look at how the airport was built, but at this point, it may or may not be related to the crash. <br /><br />To argue that it is a 'deliberate failure of officials ...' without a full technical inquiry that actually points to this reason is improper.Sharad Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-68611883726947663722010-05-24T23:59:24.784+05:302010-05-24T23:59:24.784+05:30J&V, I'll speak to the people concerned ab...J&V, I'll speak to the people concerned about what they are planning regarding new legal proceedings.<br /><br />Sharad S, there are indeed a lot of things tht could have gone wrong.

Flying is a complicated business, there are a lot of things that could have gone wrong. There could have been equipment malfunction on the aircraft. There could have been an issue of ground landing equipment. There could have been pilot/ATC errors. <br /><br />It is premature and irresponsible at this time to use assign blame for this tragedy. It may well be that all those mentioned in the letter are responsible, but until a technical inquiry pinpoints the cause, we should withhold judgment.Sharad Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-49819407100637634872010-05-24T11:41:44.539+05:302010-05-24T11:41:44.539+05:30Dilip, We think that in the light of the facts pre...Dilip, We think that in the light of the facts presented in your post, a fresh legal case involving some of the victim's families and the original litigants of the various PIL's, charging the airport authorities with criminal negligence and false representation to the High Court and Supreme Court in their affidavits, should be filed without further delay. Some exemplary damages of the order of 50 -100 crores should be sought from the Airport Authorities of India. If employees from Air India also feel the same way, they can also be parties to this suit. <br />You should hire a very high profile lawyer to handle this matter.
