‘No survivors’ in Pakistan air crash
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] None of the dozens of people on board a Pakistain International Airlines aircraft that crashed into a mountain in northern Pakistain on Wednesday survived the accident, the airline’s chairman said.I'm leaving this on front page because it's Pakistain and who knows what might have shot it down. "There are no survivors, no one has survived," Muhammad Azam Saigol told a presser late on Wednesday, about five hours after flight PK661 from Chitral to the capital, Islamabad, crashed near the town of Havelian, in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province. The airline had earlier announced 48 people were on board the aircraft. Saigol said the ATR-42 aircraft had undergone regular maintenance and had in October passed an "A-check" certification, conducted after every 500 hours of flight operations. "I think that there was no technical error or human error ... obviously there will be a proper investigation," he said. Posted by: Fred 2016-12-08 |
