I would take any news reports coming from 'Times of India' with a grain of salt. It's no better than a tabloid. They're known for exaggerating or even concocting stories.
If the same facts weren't reported in 'The Hindu', I wouldn't believe this incident.

As for the Hindu: I said I would not believe this incident if it were NOT reported in the Hindu. Obviously, Hindu is more reliable than TOI.

I find timesofindia.com no better than a tabloid (their print version is more bearable). I work in the internet ads business, so I know why they write hyped up/cooked up stories. (juicy stories=more clicks=more ad revenue)

The horrific Air India Express crash in Mangalore on May 22 that killed 158 people could have possibly been averted had the expat commander heeded his Indian co-pilot's advice. Records of the conversation between the pilots and ATC has shown that co-pilot H S Ahluwalia more than once urged Captain Zlatko Glusica not to land and instead go around.
