BSF Aircraft Crashes Near Delhi Airport, Kills All 10 People On Board (India)
Why were they given such an old plane? "Its engine had been sent to Canada few months ago for a complete overhaul", he added.
There were two pilots and eight technicians, all men, on board. According to eyewitnesses, the aircraft burst into flames just outside the IGI airport shortly after take-off. The Beechcraft Super King Air family is part of a line of twin-turboprop aircraft produced by Beechcraft. This was among the many questions that Union home minister Rajnath Singh had to face on Wednesday from the families of the 10 personnel killed in a BSF aircraft crash in Delhi. Delhi Lt-Governor Najeeb Jung also visited the accident spot.
A BSF air plane crashed in Dwarka, neighbor of New Delhi today at around 09:50 AM IST. "As I said, this aircraft has been flying very well...it had been flying three to four days in a week and there was absolutely no problem. Had the plane crashed at the station, there would have been many more casualties", he said.
Initial investigations suggested the aircraft overshot the runway while taking off, which could have caused some damage that forced the plane to turn back. So, there was no excess load.
