Panic grips Kannadigas in Israel as war intensifies
MANGALURU: Hundreds of Kannadigas working in Israel are living in fear with the conflict between Tel Aviv and Tehran escalating with each passing day. The situation now is more intense than the Israel-Hamas conflict a few months ago, according to many Mangaloreans living there. We are really feeling unsafe. During the Israel-Hamas conflict, we did not feel so threatened. But now, its raining missiles day and night, Roshan Veigas from Kulshekar in Mangaluru, who works as a caregiver in Tel Aviv, said. His wife has stopped working to take care of their two children. They constantly monitor alerts on their phones. As soon as we get an alert, we rush to the nearest bunker, Roshan said. On Sunday, a missile hit a defence facility just 2 km from their home. Earlier, attacks were mostly at night. Now, even daytime isnt safe, he said. Despite this situation, returning to India is not an option for many. Weve taken loans up to Rs 30 lakh to come here. Returning home will lead us to a financial crisis, Roshan said. Janet Lobo, who hails from Kankanady in Mangaluru, echoed similar concerns. In Israel for over two decades, she now runs a general store in Tel Aviv, with a loan of nearly Rs 50 lakh. Though her family in Mangaluru wants her to return, she said, I cannot afford to. This store is everything for me. Due to the conflict, she closes her store early and stays in a fortified safety room in her home. While those working in the formal sector receive salaries despite the conflict, those in the informal sector are in distress. Many like Roshan continue to risk their lives commuting over 30 km daily by bus to keep their jobs. The real problem starts by month-end when bills are due. Food is available, thanks to community support. But what about rent, loans and other essentials?, said another Mangalurean working as a guard.

15 years have passed, but fear still lingers, says Mangaluru air crash survivor
BENGALURU: For 39-year-old Joel Prathap DSouza, the miraculous story of Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the lone survivor in the Ahmedabad Air India crash, is a personal one. On May 22, 2010, Joelseated in the middle seat of row 23 on Air India Express flight IX 812was one of the eight survivors after the aircraft overshot the runway at Mangalore International Airport, killing 158 people. Sharing his story with The New Sunday Express, Joel says that fear still lingers even after 15 years of the crash. I have not travelled alone since the accident in 2010, says Joel, who was 24 at the time of the Mangaluru air crash. He was returning to Mangaluru from Dubai to complete a visa exchange process required for his first job at Dubai Cables. Joel had been hired in the technical department and was to report in a week. Instead, he was taken to a hospital with a fractured leg and a slipped disc - injuries that he says continue to affect his daily life even now. More than 15 years have passed, but the fear still lingers. Each time my plane starts to land, I get panic attacks feeling that fear again, he adds. Thursdays air crash in Ahmedabad has brought back everything he has been trying to move past. It triggered my anxiety again. I still get nightmares. Every step I take reminds me of that day (Mangaluru crash). I cannot run like others or lift heavy items, he says. On May 22, 2010, the flight, arriving from Dubai, overshot the runway at Mangaluru International Airporta tabletop runway surrounded by a steep valleyand plunged off the cliff before bursting into flames. Of the 166 people on board, 158, including six crew members, died. Recalling the panic inside the cabin, Joel said that people were falling on each other and there was no visibility due to heavy smoke. I was stuck under other passengers while trying to unbuckle. I ran once I got free, he recalls. Though he wasnt seated near an emergency exit, he managed to escape. Local residents helped him reach the Mangaluru airport terminal on a two-wheeler. At the terminal, families were still waiting, unaware of the crash. When I told them what had happened, people just ran aimlessly, hoping their loved ones had survived, he says. But the aftermath was difficult. With his injuries and mental trauma, Joel could not return to Dubai in time, and he lost his first job. I had worked hard to get that opportunity. It was gone in a moment, he says. Currently, Joel works as a factory supervisor with a private firm in Dubai and lives with his family. But flying, he says, remains a challenge. I never fly alone. Someone always has to come with me. If not, I cancel the plan. Though 15 years have passed, what he witnessed inside the aircraft continues to haunt him even now. I saw passengers crying for help. I saw them burn into ashes. I could not do anything. Nobody could. That does not go away, Joel concludes with a heavy heart.
Mangaluru and Karipur air crash survivors recount horrors of near death
KOZHIKODE: The rain had just begun to fall lightly that morning in May 2010 as Flight IX-812 descended towards Mangalore airport. For the 166 people on board, home was just minutes away. But within seconds, that hopeful descent turned into catastrophe -- a misjudged landing, a fuselage torn apart, fire, screams, and chaos. Fifteen years have passed. For some, time has dulled the pain; for others, memories are etched as deep as the burning metal of that ill-fated aircraft. Survivors of the Mangaluru and Kozhikode air crashes carry not just scars on their bodies but grief in their hearts. These are not just disaster statistics. These are men and women who lived to tell stories of survival, pain and betrayal. A morning that changed everything On May 22, 2010, Air India Express Flight IX-812 from Dubai overshot the tabletop runway at Mangalore airport. It crashed into a valley and burst into flames. 158 people perished. Only eight survived. Uduma native Krishnan Koolikunnu, was one of them. Now 62, he runs a small grocery shop in his village in Kasaragod. At that moment, I thought it was the end. I saw my childrens faces flash before me, he says. I felt something was off just before landing. The plane was too fast. Then came the screech, a sound like metal scraping over rocks. It all went dark. He remembers a small crack in the planes body, his gateway to life. I pulled off the seatbelt and crawled through that gap. Outside, it was forest and fog. I ran and I didnt even know what I was running from. Krishnan was joined in survival by K P Mayankutty, another survivor and a native of Kannur district. His seat, 22F, is etched in his memory. All survivors were seated on the same side. I saw the fireball coming. I heard children screaming for their parents, Mayankutty said during a conversation with TNIE. That sound still wakes me up. The aftermath was even more harrowing. Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru became a scene of heartbreaking reunions and unimaginable grief. There were 19 children and four infants on that flight, said a former nurse at the hospital. Some bodies were beyond recognition. Families were asked to identify loved ones by jewellery or tattoos. The crash not only tore families apart but plunged survivors into financial ruin and legal limbo. Mayankutty, who had worked as a PR officer for Emirates Shipping, lost his job after the accident and now works at half his previous salary in a real estate company in Umm al-Quwain. We were promised jobs, compensation, counselling. We received nothing but hollow assurances. Yet another tragedy: Kozhikode 2020 A decade later, on August 7, 2020, tragedy struck again. An Air India Express flight skidded off the rain-slick tabletop runway at Kozhikodes Karipur airport, killing 21 people. Shahala Shajahan, a survivor now residing in Dubai with her husband, recounts the events. It felt like the sky was collapsing. Everyone was screaming. I couldnt move. I was pinned under the seats, Shahala now residing in Dubai with her husband recounted. But the local people didnt wait. They rushed in, pulled us out of burning metal. They were our angels. Despite the quicker emergency response at Karipur, survivors speak of the trauma that lingers. Some suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), others avoid travel altogether. None have received sustained psychological support. I was supposed to give my wife a gold necklace for our 25th anniversary. I lost that in the fire, Mayankutty shares. But I gave her myself. I survived. That was my gift. Yet, survival came at a cost. Survivors were paraded, promised help by politicians, but nothing changed. Many of us lost jobs, families fell apart. Theres no system to support those who survive air tragedies. It was supposed to be a celebration, a return home. But it turned into a lifelong nightmare. We are alive, says Krishnan, but every day since then has been a fight to truly live again.
