At least 17 people were killed Friday when a passenger jet ripped in two after it overshot and skidded off the runway upon landing in southern India, officials said.

The fuselage was ripped apart and surrounded by emergency personnel working in the dark. Video footage showed them spraying the wreckage with water, although there was no sign of any fire. “We fear that the death toll will go up further. The rescue operation has been completed. We are now collecting and sorting people’s belongings and valuables around the runway,“ he said.
