A rather disturbing incidence took place yesterday at the Srinagar airport. A Sahara airlines plane literally bumped into an Air India plane after getting the clearance to land on the same runway by apparantly overworked ATC (Air traffic control) tower. The passengers were lucky survive, a midrunway collision with the landing plane more than 250km/h would have surely resulted in total annihilation.
The incidence points out the dire need of modernization at Indian airports, but what is apparantly more interesting is the take on the incidence by the Indian express. Check out the wording:
"Hundreds of passengers had a close shave today, when two planes—a Sahara Airliner and an Air India plane, carrying Haj pilgrims—grazed each other at the Srinagar airport."
Frolicking around with words on an incidence that might have costed the lives of nearly 300 passengers.....
A new definition of Irony that is.
