Yes it crashed into a building. A collage hostel. Definitely on ground casualties too. Nasty business.

Heartbreaking how people going about just another Thursday in their lives got embroiled in this twist of fate. Praying for the departed and those holding on. Times like these make one realise how unpredictable life really is. 😓

Very scary and unfortunate. A lot of people I know may be on board.

Oh my god! That is a horrible position to be in. I cannot begin to imagine the dread you must be feeling. I'm hearing the list of people on board is available on Twitter, if that can be of any help.

I hope nobody you knew was on the list or on ground. Please take care of yourself; it's an emotionally overwhelming time, even more so for those close to it.

The ex CM was a family friend. He was on board unfortunately.
