More than 160 people were killed when an Air India plane crashed today as it came in to land in the southern Indian city of Mangalore on a flight from Dubai, police said.
Mangalore deputy police commissioner R. Ramesh said the plane, a Boeing 737 believed to be carrying 160 passengers and six crew, crashed about 6.30am (10am AEST) after overshooting the runway.
"All are dead. There is no doubt about it," Ramesh told AFP by telephone from the crash site.

Speaking to the NDTV news channel the chief minister of Karnataka state, B.S. Yediyurappa, said: "They're all not alive".
However, an Air India spokesman in Mumbai said some people were believed to have survived.
"There are a few survivors. We have confirmed that. But we don't have the number," the spokesman said

Karnataka Home Minister V.S. Acharya called for local people's cooperation in what he called "this hour of crisis" and urged them to stay away from the crash site.
"It is feared that most of the people have died," Acharya told reporters.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, although Ramesh said the airport had been lashed by heavy rains which had hampered rescue efforts.

Television footage suggested the plane had partially broken up, with smoke billowing from the main fuselage, as rescue workers sought to douse the fire with foam and pulled bodies from the wreckage.
Mangalore is a coastal city, around 320 kilometres west of Bangalore.
It was the first major plane crash in India in nearly a decade.
Sixty-one people were killed when a Boeing 737 aircraft belonging to the domestic airline, Alliance Air, crashed into a residential area near the airport in the eastern Indian city of Patna in July 2000.
Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel was expected to fly to the site from New Delhi later today.
India's worst aviation accident occurred in 1996 when two passenger planes collided in mid-air near New Delhi with the loss of all 349 on board both flights.
The crash was blamed on a Kazakhstan Airlines plane descending below its assigned altitude, putting it in the path of a Saudi Arabian Airlines plane that had taken off minutes earlier from the Indian capital's airport. |
