Tragedy on Margalla Hills (III)

ISLAMABAD: This a great loss for all those whose dear ones were on board. My suggestion is that there should be emergency runways and pilots should be trained on the Precision Landing System, i.e. manual landing, rather than training them to rely on Instrument Landing System (ILS) or auto pilot Technology. After all, technology is a human creation and can have errors. May the departed souls rest in heaven and the families who lost their dear ones have patience to bear this irreparable loss.
