No Survivors
ARY News: Black box of crashed airliner recovered
Investigators have found the black box of the passenger jet crashed Wednesday into the Margalla Hills surrounding Islamabad, killing all 152 people on board.
Formal investigations have been launched into the crash and a five-member committee – constituted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to look into the reasons of the crash – witnessed the site from a helicopter. The black box has been handed over to the committee, headed by Chairman Safety Investigation Board Air Commodore Khawaja Abdul Hameed, which will submit its initial findings to the authorities within 48 hours.
Rescue workers scouring the heavily forested hills recovered nearly 128 bodies from the wreckage, news reports said. Search mission has been halted at the site due to night and will be re-launched tomorrow, rescue officials have said.
Initial Interior Ministry reports that five people survived the Airblue crash were wrong, said Imtiaz Elahi, chairman of the Capital Development Authority, which deals with emergencies and reports to the ministry.
“The situation at the site of the crash is heartbreaking,” Elahi said. “It is a great tragedy, and I confirm it with pain that there are no survivors.”
The dead included two U.S. citizens, said the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad without providing further details.
The crash left twisted metal wreckage hanging from trees and scattered across the ground on a bed of broken branches. Clouds of dense gray smoke rose up from the burning wreckage as a helicopter hovered above.
“I’m seeing only body parts,” Dawar Adnan, a rescue worker with the Pakistan Red Crescent, said by telephone from the crash site. “This is a very horrible scene. We have scanned almost all the area, but there is no chance of any survivors.”
The search effort was hampered by muddy conditions and smoldering wreckage that authorities were having trouble extinguishing by helicopter, Adnan said.
The cause of the crash was not immediately clear, but Defense Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar said the government does not suspect terrorism.
The plane left the southern city of Karachi at 7:45 a.m. for a two-hour scheduled flight to Islamabad and was trying to land during cloudy and rainy weather, said Pervez George, a civil aviation official.
Airblue is a private service based in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, and Wednesday’s flight was believed to be carrying mostly Pakistanis.
“The plane was about to land at the Islamabad airport when it lost contact with the control tower, and later we learned that the plane had crashed,” said George.
The flight was carrying 146 passengers and six crew members, said George. The aircraft was an Airbus A321, and the flight number was ED202, he said.
The crash site covered a large area on both sides of the hills, including a section behind Faisal Mosque, one of Islamabad’s most prominent landmarks, and not far from the Daman-e-Koh resort.
At the Islamabad airport, hundreds of friends and relatives of those on board the flight swarmed ticket counters desperately seeking information. A large cluster of people also surrounded a passenger list posted near the Airblue ticket counter.
Saqlain Altaf told Pakistan’s ARY news channel he was on a family outing in the hills when he saw the plane looking unsteady in the air. “The plane had lost balance, and then we saw it going down,” he said, adding he heard the crash.
The Pakistan Airline Pilot Association said the plane appeared to have strayed off course, possibly because of the poor weather.
Raheel Ahmed, a spokesman for the airline, said an investigation would be launched into the cause of the crash. The plane had no known technical issues, and the pilots did not send any emergency signals, Ahmed said.
Airbus said it would provide technical assistance to Pakistani authorities responsible for the investigation. The aircraft was initially delivered in 2000, and was leased to Airblue in January 2006. It accumulated about 34,000 flight hours during some 13,500 flights, it said.
The last major plane crash in Pakistan was in July 2006 when a Fokker F-27 twin-engine aircraft operated by Pakistan International Airlines slammed into a wheat field on the outskirts of the central Pakistani city of Multan, killing all 45 people on board.
Airblue flies within Pakistan as well as internationally to the United Arab Emirates, Oman and the United Kingdom.
The only previous recorded accident for Airblue, a carrier that began flying in 2004, was a tail-strike in May 2008 at Quetta airport by one of the airline’s Airbus A321 jets. There were no casualties and damage was minimal, according to the U.S.-based Aviation Safety Network.
The Airbus A320 family of medium-range jets, which includes the A321 model that crashed Wednesday, is one of the most popular in the world, with about 4,000 jets delivered since deliveries began in 1988.
Twenty-one of the aircraft have been lost in accidents since then, according to the Aviation Safety Network’s database. The deadliest was a 2007 crash at landing in Sao Paolo by Brazil’s TAM airline, in which all 187 people on board perished, along with 12 others on the ground.
My Qts who the fuck cares?
Exactly! Maybe we should hand their bodies over to Taliban. They might serve some purpose in death!
ARY News: Cabinet announces one-day national mourning
he Federal Cabinet on Wednesday expressed shock and deep sorrow over the tragic air crash on Margalla Hills and announced a day of national mourning.
Hi guys hows everything.
I am back, a little busy so won’t be able to contribute much.
Recently I was watching Kashif “Off the Record”
Contributors were Faisal Abdi, Abid sher Ali and Laghari
It was about Jali Degree.
I have some comment on Kashif.
He is one of the top TV anchor in Pakistan but see the standard of our top rated anchor.
He failed to conduct a sensible dialogue between rivals instead in a sense he promoted the nonsense of Abdi.
This program was about jali degree but Abdi successfully expand the subject….now it was job of anchor to keep the focus on topic…he failed and himself succumbed to Abdi trap.
It was the job of anchor to tell Abdi
NS apology and other corruptions does not allow you to play foul
Not sending reference on son of cj corruption means it is kept as a tool to fix cj when the time comes….
in the meantime Abdi and his crooks have free hand to play…
no one should even accuse them because they have some old corruption reference of CJ.
Thats moral turbidity of our politicians specially arrogant PPP leaders.
Whats wrong if we are corrupt
You are corrupt too
And who will judge us
Huh…thus CJ…his son himself is corrupt.
In some other program Sharmila Faruqi got away with bigotry when she accused all laghariz of traitors….perhaps host was Mazhar Abbas and this stupid lagahari was also there…he did not even bother to tell her she is a bigot and she could be prosecuted under Constitution of Pakistan.
So the bottom line corruption now has a free hand to play….
those audience who are watching on TV are stupid….
no need to worry about them…
we will take care of them when the time come…
they will cast their vote against us but still we will win because majority votes comes from villages where Zameendar is our accomplice…
he will send his kisan on election day with instructiona how to vote and whom to vote…
we have resources we will provide the transportation….
and we will also make sure on the election day kisan is kept hungry without food…..
with full stomach his thinking faculties may start working…that we don’t want…he must do what he is told.
@jazoo
I saw that program, i disagree wat kashif did was let the politicians fight it out so public can see how corrupt and stupid they are
The standard of the programmes is so poor that I have stopped watching them. There is no genuine debate. The same characters come and say the same thing in the same words!!!
Kashif has been a disappointment lately.
