The families of victims of the Air India Express crash in Mangalore last year are entitled to a minimum compensation of Rs 75 lakh each, the Kerala High Court held today.

Justice P.R. Ramachandran Menon passed the order while allowing a petition filed by Abdul Salam and Ramla, parents of 24-year-old B Mohammed Rafi, who was killed in the crash.

158 passengers and crew on board the Air India aircraft from Dubai had perished in the worst air disaster in the last decade, when the plane caught fire after one of its wings hit a hillock before landing at Kenjar in Mangalore.

Air India is responsible for the crash in Mangalore and the court order is reasonable.
Hope this verdict to a limited extent succeeds in compensating the family of the victim!
It will surely bring the respite for the victim's family. Emotional loss can't be recouped but they will breathe the sigh of relief since it will help in stopping the financial loss for their family.
I support the decission and think that it is totally justified...
The cockpit recorder revealed that the pilot was in deep sleep during landing!How it happens???
