“A bad trip of PIA-661 from Chitraal”

If an accident happens expectedly and intentionally what should we call it?

I cannot explain the feelings, pain and loneness of these families who have lost their members but just wants to tell them that I am with you all

An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, resulting damages, injury, death and sometime fire is called an accident but if an accident happens expectedly and intentionally what should we call it? Unfortunately same as, an accident happened with PIA flight pk- 661 crashed near to Islamabad at 4:15 pm that was loaded with 48 passengers .Now it has become a part of history but every moment, every thing and every word which is connected with this incident will always be alive in our minds, same as all other accidents are still alive with in our memories which happened in previous days.

I cannot explain the feelings, pain and loneness of these families who have lost their members but just wants to tell them that I am with you all. There were 31 men, 9 women, 2 infants on board the flight .The ATR_42 aircraft departed from Chittraal around 3:30 pm and was expected to land at Islamabad’s   Benazir Bhutto international airport at around 4:40 pm but crashed near Abbotlabad. This flight first connect to control tower at 4:09 pm by mayday call secondly there was again mayday call to inform the control  tower that this flight is going to landing but sadly and unfortunately  no voice came after that just news had come that ATR_42 aircraft has crash and there is no survivor .

There were just pieces of bodies .All the bodies burned beyond recognition. Unluckily we have lost very special personalities .They all were very special persons .They were special for their parents ,for Pakistan as well as .Junaid Jamshad who was the bright star of Islam in Pakistan. At that time he was on Tableeghi mission .He was with his family .Deputy commissioner Chitraal Osama Warraich unluckily was also board the flight with his family. Ahtiramul Haq who was newly married .Aisha who had to collect her educational certificates. She was also planning to go to Canada in future .Very talented engineer, Nouman Shafique.Included pilots and airhostesses all gave a huge gape to their families which never filled. Very surprisely ATR 42 _500 is one of the most recent versions of ATR aircraft  .If its engineers are certified to be safe ,strong and    solid performer in a variety of conditions and flown 18,740 hours before its crashed than how the black box cleared that its one of the engine was not working .Infect  it was completely stopped after the lots of struggle of pilot ,the second engine was also not working  properly in the result ,this happened .Now I am asking who is the responsible of all the burned bodies ? What will happen after this accident?

Almost seventeen different agencies conducts the safety audit of PIA aircraft .PIA must keep in contact with these agencies for the best protection of PIA. Be conscious to the repairing, maintenance of planes .PIA Chairman Azam Saighal was addressing with press conference that Investigation will establish the issue of the incidents and why the plane was unable to fly on the remaining engine,Now the point is clear after finding the black box we are clear now what ,where and who’s fault is here .There was no survival it means that no one will come back .but with keeping struggle and consideration on the maintenance ,care and repairing the PIA airline we can stop these accidents at least in future .Just money cannot fill the gap in their families .Money cannot stop this type of  ruins of  PIA .  My point is we must be kept an eye on this point for the sake of lives of innocent people…..
