"I can't believe I survived the crash," said Pradeep reliving the moments when the plane hit the ground after it overshot the runway.



"There were vibrations before the plane crashed...as soon as it hit the ground, I managed to get out and jump into a pit. There was smoke all over as the plane caught fire. After ten minutes, there was an explosion," he said.



According to most of the survivors, the fuselage of the aircraft had split into two.

Abdul Puthur, another survivor, said he, along with two others, managed to get out of the mangled remains of the aircraft from an opening on the left side. "It all happened within a few seconds," he said.
