Bhoja Air Crash: Decoded black box returns from the US
Islamabad: (Friday, May 25, 2012) The black box of the Bhoja air plane that crashed last month in Rawalpindi minutes before its landing, taking all 127 lives on board, has returned to Pakistan from the US after being successfully
decoded.
Under supervision of a senior Investigation Officer Mujahid Islam, a team has already started to transcribe the conversation that took place between the pilot and the co-pilot of the Boeing 737-200 aircraft before it crashed.
During the investigation, the statements of Mukhtar, an on-duty worker at the Radar at the time of crash, have also been recorded.
As per the initial investigation, the plane was at a height of about 2,000 feet instead of 28,00 feet at the time of landing.
It is still being investigated why Mukhtar did not intimidate the pilot regarding the plane’s height and its change in direction, and why did not transfer the information to the Air Traffic Control tower.
The Bhoja Air flight travelling from Karachi to Islamabad had turned into flames after coming down in fields near a village on the outskirts of Islamabad as it tried to land in rain and hail at the city’s international airport
