Kozhikode, PTI: Screams of pain, blood soaked clothing, terrified children and the blare of ambulance sirens. The distressing scenes that unfolded after the ill fated plane from Dubai fell into a valley with a deafening sound, killing at least 17 people on Friday.
Amid downpour, while rescue personnel, including the local civil police hastened to pull out the injured men and women from the aircraft that broke into two, passengers were stunned to even comprehend what had happened in a matter of moments.
Screams of people in pain and initial chaotic moments were appalling.
Children, some as young as four or five years clung on to rescue personnel and things strewn around, from shoes to baggage, bore tell tale signs of the agonising moments endured by passengers.
The scene was similar in hospitals where the injured were rushed as screams rent the air as health workers rushed to provide succor.
People living nearby pitched in on time to lend a helping hand to the grief struck passengers.
A local man said he rushed to the airport after hearing a "terrible thud" when the flight fell.
"Small kids were trapped under the seats and it was such a distressing sight," he said.
"When we reached there some were deplaned.
Many of them were seriously injured.
Legs were broken....My hands and shirt were soaked in the blood of the injured persons", he said.
Another man who participated in the rescue operations told a TV channel that "injured pilot of the aircraft was taken out from the cockpit after breaking it." By the time ambulances started reaching the spot, the locals had already started shifting injured passengers in cars to various hospitals in Kozhikode and Malappuram districts, he said

Wing Commander Deepak Vasant Sathe, the captain of the ill-fated aircraft that crashed at Calicut on Friday, was a top-notch Indian Air Force fighter pilot. He honed his skills flying the Soviet-origin MiG-21 fighter planes during his 22-year IAF career, the Hindustan Times has reported. 59-year-old Sathe was awarded the coveted &ldquo;sword of honour&rdquo; when he graduated from the Air Force Academy, Hyderabad, in 1981. The former IAF fighter, an alumnus of the prestigious National Defence Academy, was also an accomplished test pilot. Sathe joined the air force in 1981 and quit the IAF prematurely in 2003.

New Delhi, PTI: The Union Health Ministry has asked states and UTs to test grocery shop workers, vegetable and other vendors for coronavirus. The govt has stated that if undetected they can potentially spread the infection to a large number of people.
In a letter to states and UTs, Secretary in the Health Ministry, Rajesh Bhushan also stressed the need for operationalising ambulance transport system with oxygen facility and quick response mechanism.
He underlined that refusal rate of ambulances must be monitored at a daily basis and brought down to zero.
With the Covid-19 pandemic now spreading to newer areas in the country, Bhushan said there are likely to be scattered cases, cluster of cases or large outbreaks in districts and that the primary aim is to control outbreaks especially in new locations.
&ldquo;The focus at the same time should be to save lives at all cost," he said.
"While we have so far done better than many other countries in this respect, our aim should be to further reduce mortality and ensure that it does not cross the 1 per cent mark," Bhushan said in the letter, addressed to additional chief secretaries, principal secretaries and secretaries (health).
Bhushan pointed out that early detection of cases through aggressive testing, prompt isolation or admission in a healthcare facility and ensuring proper clinical management are major components of mortality reduction.
"Early detection of cases is the most crucial element to ensure that the case fatality is reduced. It helps in terms of not only identifying the case before it may become critical but also supports in terms of checking the spread of infection," he said in the letter.
He stressed on enhanced surveillance for influenza like illness (ILI)/severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) as their symptoms are mostly the same as COVID.
Once a positive case is identified, a prompt contact-tracing should be undertaken and at least 80 per cent of the contacts must be identified and quarantined within 72 hours, he said.
Normally, a person would have an average of 30 contacts for a period of tracking that two days before the symptom onset, Bhushan said.
"There can be potential hotspots for spread of infection like industrial clusters with closed work environment, people coming from high prevalence areas, other high density areas such as slums, prisons, old age homes etc.
"In addition, grocery shops, vegetable and other vendors etc can be potential spreaders of infection to a large number of people. Testing in such areas and of such people should be taken up proactively as per ICMR guidelines," Bhushan underscored.

Survivors of the Kerala plane crash say "brave pilot and vigilant local people averted a major tragedy." People rushed to the spot and retrieved passengers before help came in. Locals retrieved the injured passengers on board the ill-fated aircraft even though there was smoke inside it. Officials also lauded the pilot's experience and presence of mind as he managed to keep the plane from hitting a big settlement just 300 metre away. The impact would have been much bigger otherwise, officials said.

The Air India plane that crashed at the Kozhikode airport was part of the Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian nationals from overseas during the coronavirus lockdown. 2 teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) comprising 60 personnel -- one from Mallapuram and the other from Wayanad, have also been dispatched with first aid and electrical equipment to cut through the wreckage. Officials say they are still searching for around 100 people, adding that a shortage of torches and incessant rainfall were hampering the rescue process. About 108 ambulances from Kozhikode and Malappuram have been rushed to the airport.
