India has seen its share of tragic plane crashes, but none have been as devastating as the one that occurred in Mangalore on May 22, 2010. The Air India Express flight 812 crashed into a ravine killing 158 people on board, making it the deadliest plane crash in India's history. The aircraft was overshooting the runway during its landing, which caused it to fall into the ravine, bursting into flames. The cause of the crash was attributed to pilot fatigue and the lack of proper landing procedures. This tragic incident is a reminder of how important it is to stay alert and follow safety protocols when operating an aircraft.
