2002 Jalandhar MiG-21 crash
On May 3, 2002, an Indian Air Force (IAF) Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21''bis'' crashed into a bank in Jalandhar, Punjab, India, killing eight and injuring 17 people on the ground. The pilot, who ejected from the aircraft, survived. A number of passers-by were also injured as they attempted to rescue people trapped in the buildings.〔(Singh, Varinder Singh, ''8 die in MiG-21 crash'', Tribune News Service, May 3, 2002, accessed April 17, 2007 ) (() another source for the same article)〕
==Overview==
The aircraft, piloted by Flt Lt SK Nayak, had taken off from Adampur Air Force airbase about 10:00am, five minutes prior to the crash. The pilot reported that he "heard some unusual noise followed by an explosion in the engine", and ejected.〔
The aircraft crashed into the Bank of Rajasthan (Jalandhar Branch), located in a heavily populated residential and commercial section of the city. The crash started a large fire in the bank and the adjoining lumber store. Pieces of the aircraft also landed on nearby homes.〔 The first fire fighting units to respond could not find water sources with which to fight the blaze, which was not attacked until Indian Army trucks with foam arrived on scene. It took 40 fire units five hours to contain the fire.〔(crashes into bank, 8 die", ''Times of India'', May 3, 2002, accessed April 19, 2007 )〕
At least one news source reported that a copilot had also ejected, however the MiG-21bis is a single seat aircraft.〔("Indian Air Force Suspends Flight Training on MIG-21", ''People's Daily'' (English edition), May 4, 2002, accessed April 19, 2007 )〕 Following the crash, the IAF suspended all MiG-21 flight training operations.〔〔
