Gen Rawat was Spear Heading the important Reforms which would have changed the world war era fighting Practices despite facing huge opposition from IAF and IN.

What the f***. Saw the footage. People and mediapersons are just standing there and recording it instead of helping. If you can't help, just clear the area, don't hinder rescue efforts.

India should enact a law stating that shooting crash sites and accidents should be a crime.

How many laws will you make to install common sense, man? It's a different discussion altogether

Need an educated guess from you.

Based on the fire post crash, it looks like it was fuel triggered. Is it common for such short flights to carry a full fuel load?
Yes. For a VIP sortie you would want to avoid any snags vis-a-vis technical and logistic problems. And considering that mi 17 is dual engine and can carry more load but conoor is at 6000+ feet above mean sea level. You can reduce fuel loads to take more passengers if the sortie leg is shorter.

Many cheetah and chetak crashes where the remains were engulfed in fire were due to fuel spillage. The fuel tank bursts open due to impact.
