Official: Plane crashes in Pakistan; 121 people on board

[Ramadan90]

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A commercial airplane carrying at least 121 people crashed Friday in Rawalpindi just before it was to land at an airport in Islamabad, according to Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority, which cited poor weather as a possible factor.The Bhoja Air Boeing 737 was on its first flight from Karachi to Islamabad, authority spokesman Pervaz George told CNN, who said weather conditions in the capital were cloudy. Officials initially reported that 131 people were on board, but George later reduced that number.There were no survivors.The crash occurred near the Chaklala airbase, which the Pakistani air force uses, and is adjacent to the Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad.Debris was scattered across the crash site as workers sifted through the wreckage in the heavily populated residential area.

Authorities are investigating what may have caused the crash and the potential for additional casualties at the crash site.Investigators are "going to be looking at technology," aviation security consultant Greg Feith said. "What kind of radio equipment, what kind of ground proximity warning system the aircraft was equipped with, weather radar, things like that ... since the weather may be a factor in this accident."In 2010,152 people were killed when a Pakistani passenger plane crashed on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital.That plane was also was coming from Karachi when it crashed into a hillside while trying to land, officials said at the time.The first known commercial passenger airplane crash occurred in Pakistan in 1953 when a Canadian Pacific DH-106 Comet crashed shortly after takeoff from Karachi. That crash killed 11 people on board.

There is a man at the airport whose 2 daughters were on this plane.

instead of receiving them alive, he received their charred body parts, cut from each other, legs here, arms there, head here, feet there. His life will be misery from now on till he dies after seeing what his own loins produced in such a defeated way. I hope he finds some peace in this dunya.

And I hate to know that human life moves on. Same fate awaits us and humans will move on when we die. And then I am being asked to love these very humans while I am alive? funny Homo sapiens.

Ameen to the dua.

This is what every one who lost their beloved think which is normal, but Allah gives and Allah takes. I cant even imagine how it feels to lose someone very close to me so I will not say that I understand how it feels, because I dont. At the end of the day, human beings are egoistic in nature except the believers who fight against it. This is a test.

innalilahiwainnallillahirajiuun. It's these kind of accidents I'm worried whenever I am on board a plane especially with the latest boeing which is the A380. Could you imagine how many fatalities would result if that
aeroplane crashes?

It is Allahs will if a plane crashes, and if it crashes, so be it, then it will be your time to return to our Lord. Or you will survive. I maybe sound harsh, but this is the truth. Don't be afraid bro, nothing is gonna happen without the will of Allah

He doesn't have to be worried, car crashes do happen alot more, even train crashes. A airplane is very safe, if you compare it to trains, cars. And if it happens so be it. What can you do about it when its the will of Allah?

And I only stated the fact that it is still a scary situation to be in nonetheless, even if it is Allahs will which I am well aware of.
