That's terrible news. We never know the minute.

Very sad. My heart goes out to their families.

God, how awful.

""it is being said that the aircraft was pretty old"

Would any of us fly with "Bhoja Air" ???

I have and ropy it is/was

I was listening to this on R4 in the wee small hours. 27 yr old plane apparently.

I think it was a B737-200 series. They`re pretty ancient. The airline was strapped for cash too. Maybe that`s why they didn`t abort the landing - not enough fuel on to go around? Too early to speculate though.

Although the plane came down in a small village there were no ground casualities which seems to be a miracle.

Poor souls, really dreadful. I fel as JJ mentioned, very judgemental but I would never fly with any airline with that type of name, not aeroflot either!
