Terrible incident. However, rain or weather is one of the causes but ultimately this is going to be pilot error since they always have the option to divert if they think the landing could be risky. With Kerala having so many international airports within the state and surrounding areas, that question remain valid.As of now the Pilot (died at the scene) and a passenger died. Hopefully no more deaths. Cause of accident possibly heavy rain and short tabletop runway.
Landing is always risky under these circumstances, but the downpour in this region has been extremely high and the runway is over a hill. I've landed in that airport more than once and it's a scary view. IMO this airport should be shut down for good we have four intl airports including this. This runway was closed following the Mangalore accident, similar runway style, and due to poor runway. This airport was made by levelling three hills.Terrible incident.

Whatever the reason, the most important thing right now is tending to the wounded. What a horrible year for India and the world. Hope we have very few casualties and the wounded recover quickly.
