Air India debris finally get a resting place

Mangalore: The Air India engineering crew today started evacuating the debris of the IX 812 Air India Express plane that crashed in a village near Bajpe airport on May 22. Heavy machinery that arrived today from the new Mangalore Port and the timber yard started picking up the parts of the plane one by one.
According to the Air India officials a team of the Boeing Company will be here next week to identify the parts of the aircraft and assemble them in a bunker in the same order they appear on the aircraft when it was produced. This re-assembly will help the investigators of the crash to determine the cause of crash.
The tender for clearing the debris had been bagged by Fiza Group.
The cranes picked up parts like the fins, belly and the wings and fuselage and the engines. The work will take not less than a week to fully clear the debris from the site and heap it up in a distant corner of the airport the Air India authorities told. The AAI has been approached by the Air India to allocate a corner of the Mangalore Airport terminal near Kenjar for storing the crash until such time the investigations are over.
