The Deadliest Plane Crash in Pakistan that Became World News

The domestic plane crash of Air Blue airlines in Pakistan on Margala Hills was the worst day in the life of the Pakistani people. There were no survivors and the 152 passengers on board found instant death to be their destiny. These incidents are unpredictable and they sure turn out to be the deadliest ones which end up destroying the lives of families involved. The heavy smoke and fog didn’t stop the brave rescue workers who were risking their lives to save survivors from the wreckage.

Grief stricken realities were devastated with the news and crowded the airport waiting to hear news of the survivors but all were in vain as all the 146 passengers and the six crew members were all dead. All the International news agencies and the local news channels were flashing the latest updates on the plane crash. Thursday became a national day of mourning as declared by the Pakistani government, as about 100 bodies that were badly mutilated and burned had been recovered in the wreckage.

No one can know the true cause of the devastation. Where some speculate that the bad weather may be the culprit, others think that it was an error of the flying pilots. But whatever the truth maybe we sure have lost the lives of 152 Pakistanis. The reality is that the death of these passengers has also destroyed the lives of many close relatives of those involved in the plane crash.

The sad thing is that there is a long list of young people who were in this plane crash that idealized a promising future for Pakistan. Entire families have been wiped out while some have lost their fathers, mothers and their dear siblings. These are devastating incidents that makes your heart cry out for the realities that are living dead. It was the worst plane crash in the history of Pakistan and left twisted metal wreckage hanging from the tree tops with clouds of dense gray smoke rising from it.

No one knows what really happened but as the black box has been found the reason of the crash may be revealed or the truth may still remain a mystery. We can avoid the mistakes that led to the crash but the real fact is that we can’t bring back the survivors to life. Although the cause of the plane crash is still to be found but whatever the cause the irreparable damage can never be replaced.
