Nearly 160 people are feared dead after a passenger jet crashed on landing in the southern Indian city of Mangalore. Air India Express said there were seven survivors among the 160 passengers and six crew on board its Boeing 737 arriving from Dubai. The plane overshot the hilltop runway as it tried to land and burst into flames in a forested valley beyond. Survivors said they thought they heard what sounded like a tyre bursting just before the crash.
