Karachi Airport Under Terrorist Attack

[foxbat]

you're so funny, you should try out for the circus, you'll make a killing

No need to get personal. Stay on the topic

tbh, I have no words for these idiots, they have lost it, someone with Bachelors in Mass Comm, or Journalism cannot be expected to know the technicality related to the fire, heck there are some fires that require specific type of Foam
someone should ask the pathetic media that it depends on the type of Chemical, that could leave us with a small span of time before people sophisticate to death, i would not even expect them to be alive after 8 hours let alone 26 hours.....once we are past 8 hours, there is very little hope....btw as per ILO, LEL(long term Exposure Limit for Hazardous chemicals) for most of the chemicals is 8 hours, after that it start effecting the health, but it also depend on the space you are in too....in a confined space, there is little room before chemical are filled in and very little O2 is left....

Coming back to the question of "All Clear" then I said this last night as well, Military/ Ranger, Police are LEA, who were called in to assist in CT operation, IF CAA does not want them they cannot even enter the site ASF is the dedicated Security Force for the facility so that leaves them with little responsibility....But the actual Responsibility lies with CAA, that is the Administrator of the site, it is their site, they run it....Once Op was finished and Site was handed over to them they were suppose to carryout the head count, do the Damage Assessment and Risk Assessment, but nothing such was done....do you know CAA did not even know if any Aircraft was damaged, that is why i was told the same, they only found out about the damage when they saw it on the TV....(btw that PIA plane was already on the way out and Shaheen airline took some round)......
It doesn't matter which company that storage belonged too, whether they were Third Party contrators, Clients or whatever, CAA has the "Duty of Care" towards everyone on site - as we call it in Occupational Safety.....so it is stupid to blame any LEA....

The amount of bullsh!t on news channels in through the roof.

Express is just milking the news now.

"Pani itna baha dia gaya? Yeh normal aag to nhn thi, raat say aag jal rahi thi yeh kia ho gaya? Aam admi ko bhi yeh pata tha..". To aam admi hi udhar chala jaye na, itnay expert hogaye hain sab.

Just to make it clear, it was DNATA building, there were medical supplies and also batteries. The employees were of Dnata.

It sort of makes sense why extinguishing the fire was made second priority. A fire tender (the airport one) did go there, got shot at, driver got a hit on the arm and it came back. The fire was then allowed to rage on and the op was made first priority. Terrorists killed, the search operation is underway. Mind you, search operation is underway by the Rangers and Army for finding more terrorists. They give the all clear. Job finished, for the Army and Rangers. People questioning the DG Rangers that why was the all clear given when fire was still raging on are just wankers on TV.

Now, it was the responsibility of the Karachi airport admin and Dnata to account for all the people and extinguish the fire. We all know how hard it is to extinguish Li-po battery fire.

@balixd, @Irfan Baloch ....comments gentlemen?

What is the purpose of such an attack?
Taliban claim, it is for revenge aginst drone bombings of civilians, but there are so many city bombings for the same purpose, so, this possibility does not hold very well, something else is behind these events, and we shall know in time.

Your Highness,Your Excellency,Well this Airport attack was done by MQM supermo Altaf Huessin & Mr.Asif Ali Zardari. It cannot be ruled out Both of them might have “OUTSOURCED” the work to Indians Well both of them are from Karachi,they know the layout of the Airport & the exit routes.Even the water mafia in Karachi is controlled & operated by Indian thugs

Well i dunno what news you read everyday(might be that clown bharat verma's news agency)...TTP terrorists have claim responsibility of this attack.

Of-course, but not a single made in india weapons were recovered. Plus, if terrorists had some made in pakistan, available in India product, India would not level charges against pak without other evidence....
FYI- tons of POF ammo has been recovered in India. Not a single IOF weapon has been displayed by pak, till date. prove me wrong with proof if you can...

 

[manojb]

RIP to brave security forces , otherwise what could be ugly situation given amount of ammunition. GoP should respond as if worst has happened .
About Indian involvement, we've been hearing for few years without concrete proof..

What kind of proof ??
Just like you guys proved that Ajmal Kasab and all terrorist were Pakistanis

 

[OCguy]

Where the weapons came from is irrelevant. Someone attempting a false-flag attack would use the weapons of the party they are trying to pin the blame on, and a covert plot would intentionally use outside weapons in order to prevent tracing it back to the source.

 

[Pak_Track]

Since when has any of our media's been careful not to exaggerate?
Airport Attack: Somebody says that the weapons are Indian. So yeah, the attack was by India.
Mumbai Attacks: The attackers were handling their weapons properly. It's obvious that they are the SSG!
Get Real. Some people can believe anything.

Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd has cancelled all flights to Karachi from Bangkok, the airline said on its website on Wednesday.

HONG KONG: Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd has cancelled some flights to Karachi from Bangkok, the airline said on its website on Wednesday.

“We will continue to monitor the situation closely,” the company said in its statement. “Customers are recommended to check flight status before departing for the airport.”

The cancellations came after Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for an attack on a security academy at Karachi's airport on Tuesday, less than 48 hours after an all-night siege by Taliban gunmen at the country's busiest airport.

Cathay Pacific shares were down 0.28 per cent in mid-afternoon trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

An audacious gun-and-explosive attack by heavily armed militants on the country’s busiest airport had left at least 30 dead.

A day after the five-hour long destructive battle, the Airport Security Force (ASF) camp number 2, had also come under a fresh assault. The flight operations were resumed after being temporarily suspended, and routes leading to the airport were cleared for traffic, the Civil Aviation Authority had announced.

Earlier today, the Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen cancelled his visit to Pakistan for an indefinite period.

According to the Foreign Office source, the embassy of Maldives had not replied officially but hinted that the attack at the airport was the reason for cancellation.
