Yesterday’s tragedy is something that cannot be ignored. Countless young people died in that crash. Fixing the blame would not bring those 152 people back. Who gives a damn whether it was human error or some technical problem that caused this tragedy! Just like always rescue operation too was not up to the mark. Although I give them points for recovering so many bodies or rather body parts.
My siblings were friends with people who were on that plane. Naturally I get to hear stories revolving around the victims who are dead. I’m quite worried about 2 kids who are actually infants & their fathers are dead. One of them is just 6 days old & the other one is 2 months old or something. Can you actually imagine what kind of lives these kids would have? And I’m sure there must be other kids like them as well who have lost their parents in this god-damn Margalla Hills plane crash.
My brother was friends with this guy Hassan who was Youth Prime Minster. My sister also knew him. This guy was just 26. Z’s friend Ali was only 28. I heard so much about him, but I didn’t meet him in person. He adored his baby like anything; he called him his little toy & now that kid would never know that love of his father.
Then there was a couple who were going on their honeymoon. 4 friends from Baldia also died in this accident; they were going with their friend on his wedding. A man who couldn’t make it to the airport on time lost his family in that crash.
People who are dead are dead, but their loved ones would never forget this god-damn tragedy which has altered their lives forever.
If we reflect on this accident, naturally what is obvious is that death is certain & it cannot be avoided. And I couldn’t help thinking that so many devilish people are alive who go around tormenting others, but good people who might have contributed a lot died in that crash. And as long as I live, I can’t get those 2 kids out of my mind. Life without your father or mother is hell on earth & only those who have lost them know it. And it fucking hurts to see that someone else would go through the same ordeal & there’s nothing that can be done about it. This is just one aspect that I have touched. Life is way too complicated & tough in all its aspects, so to speak.
