A Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operating Air India Express Flight 812 from Dubai to Mangalore, India, crashed on landing at Mangalore. The captain had continued an unstabilized approach, despite three calls from the First Officer to "go around", resulting in the aircraft overshooting the runway, falling down a hillside, and bursting into flames. Of the 160 passengers and six crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only eight passengers survived. With its 158 fatalities, Flight 812 is the second deadliest accident involving the Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft being surpassed by Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 10 years later with 176 deaths and was the deadliest accident involving all variants of Boeing 737 until Lion Air Flight 610 crashed in October 2018 with 189 fatalities, and the third-deadliest aviation disaster in India, after the 1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision and the 1978 crash of Air India Flight 855.
