Things haven't been very good for our country lately. "Stuff" keeps on piling on top of each other. We have already become immune to little disasters like suicide bombing! A waste of 20-30 lives doesnt really raise our eyebrows except for a little "tch tch" here n there. We talk about it for a day or two and then move on to the next big news.
Yesterday, on 28th July, an Air Blue plane coming from Karachi crashed in the Margalla hills Isb. All 152 onboard died. No Survivors. Seriously! I have witnessed such a plane crash in GIK in late 2007 maybe. A fighter jet on training crashed near FME and Habib Bank causing an ugly scene of body parts and plane debris. So I can imagine what it must be to stand in those hills looking for little body parts, not knowing who they belong to. However, the magnitude is many times bigger!
It is totally very sad. Floods have already drowned more than 400 in various parts in the last 2 days, and mind you, the toll is still rising and since it is Pakistani media reporting it, so you can easily multiply the casualties by '3'. Misery isnt ending for us. Zardari still holds the reins for this poor nation. Well, cant really blame him for this. We elected him didnt we.
Here's a good article i found out on this topic:
