Sad ! Tragic.whether they are Pakistanis or Indians they are human beings for whom the whole universe belongs.except for a few wretched saffronites entire India grieves over the tragedy. May God give courage to your country to bear the loss.do not believe in the sympathy of politicians whether Indian or pakistani! They should all be on the ill-fated planen and the world would be a better place to live.

Let's hope that the authorities are responding efficiently to save lives, and that an honest investigation takes place to identify the cause of this incredibly sad event. Anything less would an insult to the memory of those who have lost their lives in this crash.

I have 40 years of Aviation experience, both engine failure is very rear. The inquiry will determine the cause. My opinion is the contamination of fuel uplift from Lahore.

Similar to some other Airbus crashes. Probably a control software issue. Believe similar thing happened in Benguluru about 8-10 years ago.
