Plane crash near Islamabad; 152 on board
Islamabad: 152 people are on a plane that has crashed near Islambabad in the Margalla Hills. It is an Airblue Airline plane.
Rescue helicopters have reached the crash site. Thick black smoke can be seen rising from that spot.
Pakistani media reports that it's raining very heavily near Islamabad. Thick fog is likely to impede rescue and relief operations.
The plane was on its way from Karachi to Islamabad. It had 146 passengers and 6 crew members.
May Allah Take their souls to HEAVEN & Forgive us allz,
AMEEN.
INNAHLILAALHI-WA-INNA-ELHI-RAJIOON........lets all pray to ALLAH(SWT)for the victims....
Fathima, He was a excellent pilot, but what can i say i belong to this community, the conditions at that time, fatigue of the pilots, pilot error, at the time of landing who was flying the aircraft, was it the Captain or the First officer, It is a big question mark.... :(
It must be such a fitna for you too, hearing such news time and again..May Allah grant you ease & safety in your job..Aameen! Truly you pilots are a brave lot!
May Allah have mercy on them all..Aameen! May the family of those deceased be granted with patience & ease in their calamity!
A sad tragedy. May they Rest in Peace and may their loved ones find the strength to bear their losses.
ALLAH humma yerhumna!!!!!! :(
thats bad, reports were suggesting a good number will b rescued
lets pray for the grieving families
yep drmana.... :(
Thats really really horrible....hope all of them rest in peace.
drmana, all of them are dead.... my friend was the first officer, i am still in shock... :(
Saadm, thats sad..what happened to all the rescued ones? They too are dead? terrible :-((
all 152 onboard have lost their lives, no one survived... :(
lawa, the particular aircraft was 7 years old.. A-321...
but if you say this is piolet fault I dont think so i think it is aircraft fault bcz airblue have most of old planes which they got from russia
geo is telling that 8 are in the hospital...
The info that i have got is that aircraft was cleared to do a bad weather circuit and at islamabad only runway 30 has ils ( instrument landing system ) and 12 does not have it, so this means he was making a visual approach, and at islamabad, in bad weather there is windshear. PIA flight diverted to lahore 20 mins before the airbleu reached islamabad.
The capt pervaiz chaudhry was a retired PIA captain.
For the survivors..its amazing really considering the nature of the accident..hope their recovery is easy!
saad, the news of survivors are flashing in our news channels + even in timesofindia..
pak media doesn't know how to count :-P... saad knows better, he's an FO ;-)
saadm80
Media is tteling 45
Piaju I will be busy on sturday need to change all Qatar mobile numbers ( I am using 5 mobiles)
Soniya, 45 is not correct, only 8 are alive and taken to the hospital and 12 of the passenger didn't make it on the flight in the first place
Good news is that 45 survivors have been rescued so far..I really pray that there should be few more survivors from the debris...
Very sad..

paiju don't lock me
I read your earlier comment about the route it flies, only wasn't sure who it belonged to ;-)
this thread under instruction
General YOU ARE THE BIGGEST IDIOT. another idiot british pilot only crashed the air india flight at Manglore a month back. He denied the request from the indian co pilot to take a round.
Colt...its a Private Pakistani Airline. The flight in subject operates from Manchester to Islamabad via Turkey.
colt45, airblue is a pakistani private airline, with ex Pakistan international airlines pilots flying it....
guys no fight n ma thread .. i will lock the thread
Pardon my ignorance, but Airblue belongs to the UK or Pakistan?
rEzyz, we are cool..don't worry..Plane crash that happens in any part of world has always made me to tremble with fear.
My heartiest condolence is with the people who have lost their lives in it..
Yes pilot error leads to human life... :(
let it go yaar... drop it, I'm sure he's having a bad day already and is just too embarrassed to reply ;-)
very sad. Let's hope more survivors in the crash.
ignore his comments... pls dont turn the thread into bashing one by venting out anger...!
Soniya he is not crazy or fool.........
he is __________ (world not exisiting)
saad, PILOT's error leads to loss of human life..right??
gkramer, we can't let go GENERAL's comment..Infact we really want to know why he has brought INDIANS in between this horrific incident?? is he crazy or a fool???

Guys ignore general's comment, he seems to have lost it.
Really unfortunate incident and may the victims Rest in Peace.

general you obviously are not a lesson in Darwinism as you seem to be stuck at the first stage of evolution ;)
You can reserve your wisdom for other threads, don't use the death of innocent peopple to push your claims to superiority. Have some shame.
RIP
Very sad indeed.
....that's really very sad.....till now, rescue workers have recovered 10 bodies...here is the video of the report....
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/07/28/pakistan.plane.crash/index.html?hpt=T1#fbid=ddyBDKHb31Z
so far reported 4 injured in air crash... no casualities
The stupid Indians have no sense of safety or concern for themselves. There are virtually NO safety checks on any of their modes of transportation. There are train crashes every week it seems and plane crashes are becoming more frequent. I'm amazed how simple and stupid they are. Maybe it's the gov't not protecting it's citizens by enforcing tougher regulations. Maybe it's paying off people to look the other way when major engineering problems are found.......India and it's neighbors are truly a lesson in Darwinism.
Why are plane crashes becoming so frequent theses days?
:-(
Very sad news indeed.
TERRIBLE !!!
Yet another one .... very sad
where is Mr.saad and Mr.Captkhan????
very sad news
Sad News ....... Hope we can rescue more people alive Insshallah.
my god ...........
waiting for a good news from that place
huh..not again!!
very sad indeed,
plane crashes r on the rise
Really unfortunate.
Hope there are more survivors.
early morning feel so bad
Four injured passengers have been so far rescued through helicopters.
seems like nowadays plane crashes are common huhh
rEzyz...its was an Air Blue Liner which normally flies between Manchester to Islamabad via Turkey.
A sad accident, indeed.
authorities said the plane was flying from Turkey... if so, then how could a commercial flight got access to fly out of country!
Oh my GOD .... Margalla hills hope all is fine..
soniya indian time 11 AM
When it happened??? Oh, really sad news ..
