Vaccination is the medicine to boost economy: FM
”All our prayers are not for a third wave (of the Covid-19 virus). Suppose, if it occurs, then one has to think about the availability of hospitals, even if there is a hospital, does it have an ICU, and even if there is an ICU, does it have oxygen support?

Pilot”s non-adherence to SOP probable cause for Kozhikode plane crash: AAIB report
The Boeing 737 aircraft (VT AXH), which was operating Dubai-Kozhikode flight, landed half way down the runway before crashing into a gorge. Twenty people, including both the pilots, were killed in the accident.
The investigation report, which was released by AAIB Director General Group Captain Aurobindo Handa on Saturday, concluded that the probable cause of the accident was the pilot’s decision to continue with an unstabilised approach and failure to carry out a “go around” despite calls for the same by the co-pilot.
It has also listed out other factors that contributed to the crash. Low visibility and a faulty windshield viper led to degraded visual cues upon landing. “The pilot in command was taking multiple un-prescribed anti-diabetic drugs that could have probably caused subtle cognitive deficits due to mild hypoglycemia, which probably contributed to errors in complex decision making,” the report noted.
