Mangalore Air India Express Crash

Today at around 8:30 Kuwait time, my father heard his co-passenger exclaim loudly about some crash in Mangalore airport. After asking around further, we came to know that IX-892 from DxB to Mlore has crashed.

It was shocking news. The Air India Express plane had skidded from the runway and it crashed into a gorge. 158 passengers were killed and only 8 survived.
India's aviation minister, Praful Patel, says he feels morally responsible and deeply saddened by the accident. He says chief pilot Z. Glusica - offically identified as a Serbian national - had logged more than 10,000 hours of flying.
Indian civil aviation officals have started investigating the crash of FLIGHT IX - 892. According to the Hindustan Times 'The bodies of the victims were so charred that the state government said they would have to be identified with DNA tests.' And the black box is yet to be found.

As thought about what happened to the passengers, I found out there is just a thin line between life and death - and how much we take that for granted. We really must look to God for His grace and mercy for everyday. God bless the loved ones
