KARACHI: Shehzad lost two brothers in the plane crash – Mohammad Farooq and Mohammad Sohail. “They work with engines and had travelled to purchase parts from Rawalpindi. They go quite often,” he said. Shehzad said the response from the authorities was “ridiculous”. “The only time I got to see the list was from the media and there is no one at the counter who is telling us anything, there is a crowd here.”  “We don’t care,” Shehzad said, “We’ll pay to get on another flight. Just get us out, whether it is on Bhoja or Khoja.”  “My wife was on the plane, she was alone, going to see her parents,” said Arshad Hussain 27, tears rolling down his cheeks. He had married just a few months ago.”I have seen the name of my sister and her infant girl,” said Mohammad Usman. “Our lives have been devastated.”
