we can't prevent aircrashes even though they say air travel is one of the most safest way to travel


i think they can be prevented if lessons are learnt theough fair and professional investigation, so that the same mistake isnt made turning into such a major tragic incident which leaves the whole nation depressed

PIA plane coming from Kabul escapes accident

Just a day after an Airblue plane crashed into Margalla Hills in Islamabad killing all 152 people on board, a Pakistan International Airline plane coming from Kabul escaped an accident.

The PIA flight PK-252 with 107 passengers aboard took off from Kabul airport on Thursday afternoon for Islamabad.

According to a source in the Civil Aviation Authority, some ‘hard object’ hit the plane, a Boeing 737, damaging its windscreen.

“When it was approaching Islamabad airport the control tower asked the pilot to divert the flight to Lahore as weather was rough,” he said. The plane landed at the Allama Iqbal International Airport at 6.10pm.

According to PIA spokesperson Yasmin Haroon, the sight panel’s outer cover of the windscreen cracked when it took off from Kabul. She said the plane did not make an emergency landing at Lahore airport.

Ms Haroon said that passengers would leave for Islamabad on Friday at 9am

Another PIA plane apparently hit a bird while taxing at JIAP and the engine caught fire an hour or so ago. Flight was from Khi to Lhr. Passengers are safe.

sorry to quote this but they say "these things happen in bunches"

Pakistan is going through a long series of disasters and the recent airbus crash is both a tragedy and an enigma because A320 or A321 are one of the safest aircrafts to fly due to their Digital Fly by Wire control system. Even if the pilot is drunk, its difficult to go out of the allowed flight envelope of the aircraft.

To understand the commercial airliners, a good documentary series is "FLYING HEAVY METAL" and below is a link to one of its episodes where the host flies an Airbus A320 and is pretty impressed by its Digital Flight Control System,

In this episode, the host flies the airbus towards mountains and then pulls up suddenly without increasing power. The aircraft increases power itself and gets the aircraft out of risk of stalling. If one tries to bank the aircraft more than 67 degrees (or allowed limit), the aircraft simply does not allow it. Other than that, there are ground proximity warning systems etc and its enigmatic to see that the aircraft hit the margalla hills.

May be there is more than meets the eye.
