The owner of the three-storied building into which an Indian Navy plane crashed during an air show,killing two pilots and another man here on Wednesday,blamed the authorities for holding the event in a residential area and demanded suitable compensation for the damage.
It was wrong on part of the authorities to organise such an event near a residential locality. They could have held the event far from residential area on the outskirts of the city, said L Ramesh Kumar,a retired engineer and the buildings owner on Thursday.
The Kiran MK-II plane,which was part of the Sagar Pawan aerobatic team participating in a display at the India Aviation show 2010,crashed around noon on Wednesday,at New Bowenpally area,about 4 km from the Old Begumpet Airport.
The naval plane crashed into the top floor of the building,killing two pilots and another man on the ground besides injuring a woman and her son who were sitting in the second floor of the balcony.
Whatever damage has happened to my building should be undone,and that is the least I expect to be done from the authorities, Kumar said. He was also apprehensive that a part or the entire building would have to be demolished.
