BREAKING: SURVIVORS OF AIR INDIA CRASH HEARD LOUD NOISE JUST BEFORE CRASH

Following up on Reliapundit's post here,

From the BBC:


The plane overshot the hilltop runway as it tried to land and burst into flames in a forested valley beyond.
Survivors said they thought they heard what sounded like a tyre bursting just before the crash.
Speaking to Indian TV from his hospital bed, survivor Umer Farooq said he heard a loud thud as the plane touched down.
"Then the plane veered off toward some trees on the side and then the cabin filled with smoke. I got caught in some cables but managed to scramble out," he said.

MORE FROM THE LA TIMES:
One survivor, Umer Farooq, said after being admitted to the hospital that "there was a loud noise, followed by fire."

"I managed to jump out of a broken window," he said.
