CM Sukhu expressed grief
CM Sukhu also expressed grief over the passing of Kangra resident pilot Namansh Syal at the Dubai Air Show. He wrote on Instagram, “The news of the death of Naman Sayal, a brave son of Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra district, in the Tejas plane crash at the Dubai Air Show is extremely sad and heartbreaking. The country has lost a brave, dedicated, and courageous pilot. I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved family. I pay my heartfelt tribute to the indomitable courage, dedication, and devotion to national service of the brave son, Naman Sayal.”

How did the accident happen?
Sources in the Indian Air Force said, “It is quite possible that the pilot took a positive-high g turn, came out of it and rolled into a wing over to gain some altitude. He then rolled into a negative g pushover and in the meantime something went wrong with the aircraft. The pilot tried to come out of it by leveling the wings and pulling away from the crowd. Then the aircraft hit the ground in a flat attitude. All this is just speculation. The reality is that the pilot sacrificed his life to save the people below. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered. The cause of the accident will be known only after analysis of the flight data recorder.”
