An Indian Air Force Tejas fighter jet crashed during the Dubai Airshow on Friday, killing the pilot. The jet was performing a barrel roll when it appeared to lose balance and dropped too close to the ground. Experts said the aircraft may not have had enough height or speed to pull up again. Some also suggested the possibility of an engine flameout. The crash is only the second in Tejas’s 24-year history. The incident came a day after the government dismissed rumours of an oil leak in the same jet. The IAF has not yet confirmed the exact cause. (PC: India Today)
