Again like the 2010 crash of Air India Express IX-812 a Dubai flight. This time evening then it was early morning. pic.twitter.com/zeNYjHoMwM
Major accident at Kozhikode airport in Kerala as flight breaks into two after overshooting the runway strip. Second such incident in a decade on tabletop runways in the country. In 2010, a flight crashed at Mangalore, another tabletop runway, leading to more than 150 deaths. pic.twitter.com/tuECBYtrdp

Table top airports are scary. After Mangalore, now Kozhikode. May God heal the injured and comfort the families of the deceased.

Are NOT table -top airports a problem? In 2010, we had Mangalore crash and now #AirIndia plane accident in Kozhikode. So many precious lives being lost. #kozikode

The devastating news brought back the memories of Mangalore crash. Why can't we be more careful with tabletop runways, especially in such awful weather conditions. A 2011 report submitted to the Ministry also flagged unsafe conditions at Calicut airport. :( https://t.co/Y6IHSOc38x

Last sec go-around (abort landing) due to poor visibility @aaiclcairport last year. Calicut airport has a table top runway similar to Mangalore @aaimlrairport which makes landing in inclement weather much more dangerous. pic.twitter.com/lD0O6jKqCi

Similarities are eerie to what happened in Mangalore in 2010😞

Another #AirIndiaExpress Flight / Boeing-737 / From Dubai / Skid off the tabletop runway...

160 perished
I stood three days amidst the wreckage - as the DGCA tried to find the black box
Never flew AI after that. pic.twitter.com/EdOPjoUmr7
Wish #Mangalore too gets a new Airport at alternate location..The current airport is tabletop and scary #KozhikodeAirCrash https://t.co/17vY8I3dVh
