Who else thinks the army has the black box?
Re: Breaking News: Plane crashes in Islamabad
^ ofcourse they recovered it , and handed over to PAF
lies is all what the people of pakistan will get from the government.
fokker that went missing in 1989 is still listed as missing and no one from the government bothered to explain what happened to it except for a series of speculations to get camera time just like in this case

His life is money, more money.

**Black box found at plane crash site **
Investigators searching the site of an airliner crash near Pakistan’s capital in which 152 people died have found the plane’s black box, a minister and a civil aviation official said Saturday.
“The investigating committee found the black box from the Margalla Hills this morning,” Junaid Ameen, director-general of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority, told AFP by telephone.
The 10-year-old Airbus 321, operated by Airblue, slammed into the hills overlooking Islamabad in heavy rain and poor visibility on Wednesday as it came into land after a morning flight from Karachi.
“The black box was found from the bulk of the wreckage of the crashed plane. It is going to be a central part of our investigation,” Ameen said, adding that it would be sent to “foreign experts” for decoding.
Interior minister Rehman Malik also confirmed the find.
“I have received the confirmation that the black box of the crashed plane has been found,” Malik told private news channel.
“It will very helpful in the investigation.”
Ameen said the black box was recovered at 12:55pm (0755 GMT) by a joint team of French experts, the Civil Aviation Authority, the Capital Development Authority and Islamabad police.
“The black box is now in our possession. Its condition and other things will be analysed. Let’s see what we are able to get from the results,” Ameen said.
A five-person team from Airbus, based in Toulouse, France, was assisting with the recovery and using cutters to slice through the wreckage.
The bodies of 102 people have been returned to their families and 62 relatives have given blood that is now being used to DNA test other remains in a bid to positively identify them, the airline said.

Re: Breaking News: Plane crashes in Islamabad
The most tragic thing is that the accident happened so close to landing
It also shows the dangers of air travel despite it being the safest mode of journey statistically i.e. we all take huge risks with our lives everytime we board a flight. If godforbid something goes wrong there is no hope of survival whatsoever. With car, bus, train or ship accidents there is atleast some hope. It is a different matter ofcourse if there is a bomb etc. on the plane (and there is nothing you can do about it) but when mishaps happen purely because of mechanical failure or bad weather, technology is still no better than it was 40 odd years ago
Maybe technology will improve one day and smaller planes will be designed that are able to glide and stop on land anywhere (cf. a helicopter) or float on water in an emergency
A boeing-777 for instance has a take-off weight of almost 240 tonnes (that is the weight of 50 elephants)!
Ina Lilahi Wa Ina Ilaihi Rajion
