<p>“I was returning from Maravoor mosque after morning prayers and heard a sound of an aircraft readying for landing. Within few seconds, I heard some loud sound which made me look at the runway on the hillock. I saw aircraft sliding down the hillock.” <br /><br />“Immediately I called the control room. They took down my name, cell number and address. Within few minutes, Bajpe police called me and asked me the nearest way to reach the spot. I gave them all the details. Within few minutes, even Police Commissioner called me and asked me to go to the spot with the locals and all give possible help to the victims.” <br /><br />“I along with other friends walked to the spot using the nearest possible path.
