CISF Assistant Sub-Inspector Ajith Singh spoke about the final minutes of Air India Express that crashed in Kerala on Friday (Screengrab)
“No, the plane did not slide 35-feet down the hill.” CISF Assistant Sub-Inspector Ajith Singh, who was on duty as Kozhikode Airport’s Gate Number 8, had this to say about the final minutes of Air India Express AI-IX1344: “I saw it slightly take off from the cliff and then collapse on to the road, just 15 feet away from our post. All of it happened in less than 4 seconds.”
At 7.40 pm on August 7, when the Air India Express aircraft from Dubai was about to land at the airport in Karippur, the 31-year-old Singh was talking to ASI Mangal Singh at the duty post, as part of perimeter patrolling duties. “There was no sound before the crash. The endpoint of the runway is parallel to the entrance of the perimeter gate from where we could see any flight take off or land,” Singh told indianexpress.com.
“I have seen flights take off and land for the last five years. This one did not slide down. Had it slid down, the body of the plane would have broken mid-way and you could find debris on the hill slope. It did not happen that way.”
Singh, who hails from Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, has spent the last five years of his six-year-long service in CISF at Kozhikode airport. From control room duty to the security hold area (SHA) duty, he has worked in every department. On Friday, he was on PTL duty and was in charge of patrolling the perimeter wall.
“I was on B-shift that day. It was raining incessantly. So before finishing my duty at 9 pm, I took my bike and went around the 9-km perimeter area to check for any wall or fencing intrusions,” he said.
As the plane crashed near the road, making a thundering noise, the area near the cockpit separated and slid down further crashing into the perimeter wall at a distance. The ASI alerted the airport control room and also the CISF barracks, just a kilometer away. The accident site is around 3 kilometer from the airport terminal.
