Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
It is a natural disaster and no one is sensationalising the issue but the families of the soldiers who have died there and the nation expects some answers and also focus of the govt should be to keep the nation informed. I dont see anything exaggerated in this. Maybe you can clarify the exaggerated bit.
may be its because i am watching paki news channels etc...

**DAY 7
ISLAMABAD: The rescue operation in Siachen entered its seventh day with the arrival of three Swiss, six German and eight American experts on Friday.**The search operation, undertaken to evacuate buried soldiers, gained momentum after German, Swiss and American experts reached the Gayari area, a military official administering the army operation said.
Other military officials, who provide updates about the rescue operation through a helpline, said that at present rescuers are set to dig a 130-foot tunnel into the snow and are mainly focusing on six ‘priority points’ where they believe the army’s battalion headquarters was present in Gyari.
The rescue teams had earlier focused on five priority points and the sixth one was added on Thursday. More than 450 rescuers are working in sub-zero temperatures at the site, though experts have said there is virtually no chance of finding any survivors.
The officials while talking to The Express Tribune said that the rescue teams have managed to reach the accommodation area of the battalion’s building structure and are now trying to find the buried troops under the snow with the help of sniffer dogs.
One of the officers also added that the foreign rescuers have reached the Gayari sector by road, after travelling through long and difficult routes carrying special equipments. He appreciated the spirit of the foreign teams and said their arrival would help speed up the operation.
According to an official statement issued by Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the search and rescue operation at Gayari is going on at top speed despite severe weather condition, snowstorms and low temperature.
Spokesman ISPR Major General Athar Abbas said that the spirit of troops busy in rescue operation is high and that they are determined to “dig out their valiant comrades from tones of snow.” He however added that the low temperature poses serious challenge to the effectiveness of the equipments being used in the operation.
“The spirit of troops busy in rescue operation is high, who are determined to dig out their valiant comrades from under tonnes of snow. The low temperature poses serious challenge to the effectiveness of plant equipment too,” an ISPR press release said on Friday.
Disregarding difficulties posed by 145 feet high pile of snow in the vicinity and extreme cold at the bottom of excavation, the troops are attempting a horizontal tunnel at the base of main excavation site to access suspected location of a structure to reach out to survivors.
The access tracks have been improved. Some infantry troops grouped into small teams continued to be employed on the periphery for search work. The outflow of water channel remains the same.

Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
does this mean that there is some positive development… if they have reached the buildings , it will be anytime now that they will get to the soldiers inshallah …
Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
yes inshaAllah ... and if soldiers are under the building, there is a good chance they will be alive!!!
Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
Rangoli, issue is mainly about oxygen .. its the 8th day tomorrow , i dont think they will have enough oxygen to survive ... that snow has turned rock hard , which is why they are using such heavy machinery to break it ... and it might have crushed the buildings underneath .. I dunno scared to think of the outcome, hoping for some miracle only ..
Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
I dont remember where i read it but Mr.Kiyani said something about the possibility of staying alive for max 15 days, if there is enough oxygen ... you are right, if there is no enough oxygen, chances are very slim, its been a week but honestly I just dont wanna think about the worst possibility .. miracles do occur and insha Allah we will witness a miracle!

Good for west and little good for commission agents of the both sides .

Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
Was this a glacial surge? If so then this tragedy seems to be the result of human activity on the glacier, and maybe a reason for melting of the glacier at a high rate.

Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
By now survival of these jawans are very remote. It is sad but that is the reality.
Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin
It looks like the mixture of dirt, rubble and hard ice.
i wonder if any kind of heating device such as laser can melt away the ice quickly so they can reach the bottom soon.
