Plane crash in south India -Manglore

[agnivayu]

From reading the reports sounds like the cause was a tire burst on one of the mains, which caused the airplane to veer sharply in one direction and off the runway. With a visibility of 6 km, they would have seen the runway a while back. The touch down point in a ILS is usually 1000 feet down from the threshold (captains bars), 2000 beyond that is 3000 foot down, still 5000 feet is plenty to stop the airplane with brakes and reverse thrust (probably only need about 2000 beyond that). Could be they got anxious landing a little long and put max breaking, not sure...
