Sabrina Nasrin Huq, 23, a Bangladeshi national pursuing her medical internship at Kasturba Hospital in the coastal town of Manipal in Karnataka, is among the eight lucky passengers who survived the disaster that struck Air India Express Flight IX 812 at the Bajpe airport in Mangalore on May 22. The early-morning, low-cost Dubai-Mangalore flight, which overshot the runway before plunging into a ravine and catching fire, was carrying 160 passengers and six crew members.
Sabrina had delayed her departure from Dubai by two days because her friends were not available to drop her off at the Dubai International Airport. It was not her first trip on this route. She had taken the flight of three hours and 45 minutes several times before.
Sabrina recalls that when the captain asked the passengers to fasten their seat belts she realised they were about to touch down. It was going to be 6 a.m. (local time).
