Pakistan Proves Yet Again, How Fucked Up It Is

Forget about the endless power failures, the contaminated water and the high inflation and not to mention the faked edibles. Now we're dealing with fucking comprimised airlines. My head is hurting real bad now but you should read this:
ISLAMABAD: Bhoja Airline's Islamabad-bound maiden flight # B4-213 has crashed near Chaklala airbase, Geo News reported.

According to sources, a Boeing 737 with 121 passengers and five crew members on board, which flew from Karachi at 5:00 PM was supposed to land in Islamabad at 6:50 PM, but crashed just before touchdown.

According to sources in Civil Aviation Authority, the flight was given clearance to land but it lost contact with the control tower at 6:40 PM.

Rescuers say the plane's wreck was ablaze when they arrived at the site with mangled dead bodies, severed body parts, burnt luggage, and small parts of the fuselage strewn over all over the place in roughly one square kilometer area.

Saifur Rehman, an official from the police rescue team said the plane came down in Hussain Abad village, about three kilometers (two miles) from the main Islamabad highway.

"Fire erupted after the crash. The wreckage is on fire, the plane is completely destroyed. We have come with teams of firefighters and searchlights and more rescuers are coming," Rehman told Geo television.

An expert said that it appeared as if the aircraft was struck by a lightning bolt as the electrical activity in the thunderclouds above was in full swing, which may have caused the crash.

Residents said they had seen a ball of fire in the sky when the plane crashed. Parts of the plane smashed into electricity poles, blanketing the area in darkness, they added.

Local residents have also volunteered for the rescue work.

Many dead bodies have been carried away to safety in a nearby building.

"Owing to nightfall as well as a heavy overcast, it's pitch black out there, making rescue work extremely difficult", rescuers said.

Reportedly Bhoja Airlines had bought this 27.4 years old aircraft from Shaheen Airlines after it was scrapped by the latter for its compromised flight-worthiness.

Ministry of Defence and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have confirmed the reports of crash.

Inclement weather has been held responsible for the crash.

Rescue teams including Pakistan army personnel have rushed to the crash site.

Airplane's flight data recorder (Black Box) has been recovered as well.

All hospitals in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi have been put on high alert after the crash.

Benazir Bhutto Airport, which was earlier closed for operations has been now been opened.

President Zardari has ordered to arrange a chartered plane to bring the relatives of the plane crash to Islambad.

Torn fragments of the fuselage, including a large section bearing the airline's logo, could be seen in television footage.

Rescue crews combed through the charred wreckage of the plane as passengers' belongings -- clothes, shoes, jewellery -- ripped from their luggage, lay strewn on the ground.

Bhoja Air relaunched domestic operations with a fleet of five 737s in March, according to newspaper reports, when the airline was planning to start flights connecting Karachi, Sukkur, Multan, Lahore and Islamabad.

Bhoja was grounded in 2000 by the Civil Aviation Authorities amid financial difficulties, the reports said.

The worst aviation tragedy on Pakistani soil came in July 2010 when an Airbus 321 passenger jet operated by the private airline Airblue crashed into hills overlooking Islamabad while coming in to land after a flight from Karachi.

All 152 people on board were killed in the accident, which occurred amid heavy rain and poor visibility.

Another deadly civilian plane crash involving a Pakistani jet came to pass in 1992 when a PIA Airbus A300 crashed into a cloud-covered hillside on its approach to the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, killing 167 people.

Pakistan, where money is more valuable than fucking life. I HATE THIS PLACE NOW MORE THAN EVER!



It's amazing to see how fucking corrupt Pakistani officials can be, just today a plane carrying 121 passengers crashed before reaching the runaway, it was on it's maiden from Karach to Islamabad. The Airline in question (Bhoja Airline) bought the Boeing 737 from Shaheen Airline after it was scrapped by the latter for its compromised flight-worthiness.

27.4 years old Airline was allowed to fly even though they same plane is banned in some countries but even in this poor condition it was given the go ahead to proceed. Many innoncent lives were lost, officials would blame it on the weather which was harsh but the planes are designed to coup with it.

Only in Pakistan, people mostly the ones in power only THINK about fucking money. This isn't the first incident either. You should have seen the bodies of victims on the ground. I wasn't there but even I have a hard time being cheerful today.

GOD DAMMIT.

    Weird...I thought planes were build to withstand lightning strikes?

    It had to be something fairly fucked, they were pretty close to the runway. If they simply lost power, chances are they could have glided the rest of the way.

    Well, wait till you hear more. After this two more accidents happened. In one case the plane landing gear got stuck and in another case there was a fuel leakage and now everyone is avoiding planes but WAIT, someone fucking bombed a train station waiting room and they're target killings in Karachi. If you travel, you're fucked.

    What the fuck? isn't there any kind of regulation or standard of safety over there?

    And why bomb a train station waiting room? What's the point...what does anyone hope to gain?

    Corporate shortcuts and financial gain are a reality not only in Pakistan, but the world in general. This wasn't so much a political decision, but more a financial one for corporate earn. The fat suits are the masterminds behind it and the politicians are simply puppets making an earn.
    Cheap shitty arsed planes at bargain basement prices. Charge the same flight costs as a flight worthy palne & you're all good to go. If any shit goes down? Then simply blame it on nature. Easy concept to grasp.
    Conspiracy??? I think not. Look at the movie & music download predicament we the average interwebz hoez are in. Are you naive enough to think it has political motive?

    Fuck the corporate world!!! To them we are simply cattle or sheep that are disposable.
