2002 Jalandhar MiG - 21 crash On May 3 , 2002 , an Indian Air Force ( IAF ) MiG - 21bis 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 bypassers were also injured as they attempted to rescue people trapped in the buildings . 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 . At least one news source reported that a copilot had also ejected , however the MiG - 21bis is a single seat aircraft . Following the crash , the IAF suspended all MiG - 21 flight training operations . Safety record . The safety record of the IAF ' s MiG - 21s has raised concern in the Indian Parliament and media , leading to the aircraft sometimes being referred to in the IAF as a " flying coffin " . One source estimates that in the nine years from 1993 to 2002 , the IAF lost over 100 pilots in 283 accidents . During its service life , the IAF has lost at least 116 aircraft to crashes ( not including those lost in combat ) , with 81 of those occurring since 1990 . " Prior to discussion on the accident proneness or otherwise of the MiG - 21 aircraft , the figures of loss of 221 aircraft and 100 pilots during the period 1991 - 2000 appear to be incorrect . During this period , 221 MiG - 21 were never lost nor 100 pilots lost their lives in MiG - 21 accidents . The figures as reported perhaps are the total loss of IAF aircraft involving all the types operated by the service . It is also possible that the figures were wrongly reported in the press . " http : / / www . bharat - rakshak . com / MONITOR / ISSUE5 - 1 / suresh . html The age of the MiG - 21s , and their safety record , led the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament to call for their immediate phase out in a March , 2002 report , and this crash added urgency to that recommendation . However , Chief of Air Staff , Air Chief Marshal S . Krishnaswamy and Air Chief Marshal A . Y . Tipnis have stated that the aircraft are " fit to fly " . Besides the raw age of the aircraft , their maintenance and upkeep have been called into question . Other sources blame the accident rate on failures in the pilot training system . A similar crash occurred on June 14 , 1986 , when the pilot of a MiG - 21 taking off from an air base in Bareilly , India , ejected . The aircraft crashed into nearby Rampurmasi Village , killing 13 people on the ground .
