152 dead in tragic plane crash

Let us keep the men, women, and children whose lives were lost in the horrific Airblue plane crash and their families in our prayers tonight. No survivors were found among the 152 passengers abroad the flight, whose journey from Karachi to Islamabad met a tragic end, as an attempt to drive through the foggy weather proved to be a fatal blunder. The investigation is underway to find out the cause of the event. Terrorism is not suspected to be a factor and so far, the usual “India, Israel, America ki saazish hai” conspiracy theorists are keeping quiet.

Al Jazeera English reports that “there were initial reports of up to six passengers being found alive, but Imtiaz Elahi, chairman of the state-run Capital Development Authority, later said these reports were wrong.

"So far, we have not found any survivors," he told Reuters news agency.”
