An Air India Express plane with 190 onboard from Dubai overshot Karipur’s tabletop runway and dropped about 35 feet into a valley on Friday evening. Officials said 19 people, including the pilot Captain Deepak Vasant Sathe and the co-pilot, have died in the accident and over 140 more are injured, some of them seriously.

Images from Karipur airport, also known as Kozhikode international airport, showed the aircraft split into two pieces.

Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said it was raining heavily when pilots of the Boeing 737 plane from Dubai tried to land. According to reports, the plane continued to run at a high speed and skidded off the runway when the pilots tried to stop it.
