This crash was not necessarily a natural disaster. if it was due to the pilot’s fatigue it was a completely preventable tragedy which struck a blow to the lives and families of a hundred people. it is very very tragic that the lives of people are so carelessly disregarded in our country and the results blamed on fateRecommend

THE ABSENTEE LANDLORDS

What a disgrace.Not a word from chairman, managtng director or COO OF Airblue about this tragedy about which the world leaders have spoken.
The CHAIRMAN LIVES IN Losangles and manages the airline on his Laptop. The managing director lives in toronto and visits once in three months. The CCO is gallavanting all around the world and when in Pakistan is busy in his political affairs.
This should be investigated by the Govt .
Please put this on your TV channel.Recommend

Rubina,I believe you got it right, and Sheeba, you got it wrong. Talking about fortune, none has been able to decipher the mystery; many no more than speculations. An eminent scholar, Al Ghazzali, whose name even many ‘educated’ Muslims don’t know, had observed, “The Qur’an is purely Divine. Its understanding purely human”. Scholars who with sincerity and devotion, spend whole lifes, can’t fathom its understanding, much less the depth. And here are you, me and many, not even acquainted with the basics of the Qur’an, passing ‘fatwas’ on topic like Fortune!Recommend

Its definetly a very sad incident…and May Allah forgive all those who died in this tragedy…
pakistan is going through hell of problems….This is all a result of our deeds.. INjustice is the biggest cause of all problems……and every one is responsible for that…from corrupt government that we have to the people who elected these corrupts…Recommend

A catastrophic incident has happened in our country. Hundreds of people have passed away, husbands,brothers,sisters,daughters,sons,mothers have all lost their lives. Families are grieving, parents are wailing for their children and vice versa , yet what most of the talk on every blog/news channel/ talk shows is who do we blame, which one person should carry this horrible claim of killing 152 lives. And blaming the pilot is one of the most cruel blames I’ve  ever heard of. Was he not a father, a husband, did he not want to live?Do you actually think he would be so careless with not only 152 lives but also his. Yes he was old, he had 35 years of experience, is that not worth anything. Stop trying so hard to find a culprit, let the investigations finish,( however,they are,properly done or not) let some time pass before you brandish him as the one responsible for the tragedy. It was unfortunately written in  his fate to be the one flying the plane which would end up taking away so many loved ones, he did not do it on purpose. He was not a terrorist who wanted to take a plane full of people down with him. Let’s just wait for CIA and Air Blue to come up with official statements. I strongly urge everyone not to start pin pointing so quickly. Yes we all want the reasons to this tragedy so we can prevent such cases in the future but let’s not get ahead of us. Whatever happens, happens for a reason.

Agree with you Mariam why are we blaming the pilot only?I agree that age does matter and so is the bad weather conditions but above all there is Fate too which can not ignore. But yes, we cant avoid the negligence too that may be because of the aviation department or may be there was some technical defaults in the plane too. As all we know that CIA and Air Blue would never come up with the real facts so in my opinion its not nice to blame the pilot for this misery. Just put yourself in the Pilot’s shoe and imagine then you will realize that how hard is to see death just close to you and you cant do anything for your self and more importantly for the other lives with you. Everyone wants to fight with death because everyone wants to live and so was the pilot. Imagine the pain of his family what they will think if they go through from such kind of views? Everyone wants to die with respect. Pray for the departed soul and those who died with him. Ameen.Recommend

The pilot was my maternal aunt’s next door neighbour for many many years & was almost like a family to them. I met him & his family on various occasions while visiting my aunt. A very pious & friendly person, and always there for others. He was always the back up pilot, first in PIA & now in Air Blue whenever any pilot failed to show up for duty. Being the person he was, he never refused.
Captain Parvez Chaudhry flew a plane from Italy to Karachi, returned home & slept at 3:30am. A call from Air Blue woke him at 5:30am asking him to report as the pilot of the 7:45am flight to Islamabad hadn’t reported on duty so he should come. He left despite not being on original duty.
Captain Chaudhry I am sure would not have risked so many lives on purpose. I know of pilots who say he was one of the most professional pilots and the best instructor they ever had. It is wrong to just blame him. Agreed that indeed Captain Chaudhry was fatigued, but he had flown planes under fatigue on numerous occasions before. What about the pilot who did not show up for duty? Is he not partly responsible for forcing a fatigued pilot to fly a plane just because he did not show up? Is Air Blue also not responsible to wake up a fatigued pilot & ask him to show up at an hour’s notice for duty? Couldn’t Air Blue have called up another back up pilot who was not fatigued? And it is high time that such God-fearing and always-there-for-the-others souls learn to say no to airlines. That is the only way that airlines & pilots not showing up for duty realise the height of responsibility managing crew and flying airplanes is. And the amount of lives that are at stake when they are irresponsible.
Indeed it is an extremely regrettable loss of lives and I knew some of the passengers directly and indirectly – my seniors and juniors at school and university. And yes, investigations should be done in a transparent manner and lessons learnt for the future. It is wrong to blame just one person. Maybe there was a sudden technical fault which incapacitated the Captain & First Officer. If the pilot was trying to land and didn’t see the hills, the First Officer was there in the cockpit too. It is always a chain of events in air crashes in today’s hi-tech world. It is not just a single human error. Recommend

How? When? Only Allah knowsRecommend

if the air line is so true then why dont they bring that man on media who was guiding the pilot at that time. Yes, i m talking about the air traffic controller of flight ED 202. may be he guided the pilot wrong. and this is the most stupid thing to write that the fatigue of the pilot caused the crash. ok fine if the pilot was tired so was the co-pilot also sleepy?? non-sense statements.
