    This is the story of Bhoja air flight 213. On the 20th of april 2012 Bhoja air was gearing up for something big, their 737-200 was scheduled to fly from karachi to islamabad. The domestic flight was special for Bhoja air as it was the inaugural evening flight for the airline on this sector in more than a decade 12 years to be precise. Honestly i am surprised that they went 12 years without an evening flight. But on that april evening all of that changed. The 737 lifted off from karachi at 5:05 pm local time. As the plane climbed to 31,000 feet all the systems on the plane looked great the plane was in tip top shape and nothing looked out of the ordinary for this flight. At 6:08 pm the pilots tuned into the lahore ATIS or the automatic terminal information service. The ATIS is this automated broadcast that is sent out from an airport to update pilots about important things in the area, like in this case weather. It wasnt the best weather ahead of them. The captain goes on the PA system to let everyone know about the weather ahead of them he says ““It will be cloudy weather and thundery activity is also there and let’s see.when we reach there may be it would be raining anyway God willing after some time we will see Lahore on our right”. At this point the pilots got to know that the landing at islamabad might not go ahead as planned so the pilots got to talking about alternatives to land at, they talked about the possibility of diverting to lahore, but that might not be possible, as they found out that lahore had a sandstorm warning until 8:30 pm. Ontop of that the winds at lahore were coming in from a weird direction that the captain was not used to. As the pilots were discussing alternative airports to land at the captain randomly started singing a song. In the cockpit the alternative airport was going in concert with the captains song. The first officer asked “Sir should I take Peshawar weather” to which the captain replies “no, god will help us”. As the plane streaked towards islamabad the captain saw the weather get worse right before his eyes. As they started the descent the pilots turned on the seat belt signs. At this point the plane was in a race with the weather, a line of weather was starting form in front of them and the pilots wanted to be on the other side of that line before it became like a wall of rain. What they had ahead of them was known as a squall line, which is basically a line of thunderstorms and most pilots knew to avoid a squall line. As they punched through the turbulence the pilots sped up to 280 knots to smoothen out the bumpy ride. At this point they knew that they would have to push through the weather, no matter what they did but the captain was adamant to land at islamabad. Soon after that the pilots got in contact with islamabad approach, they wanted to know if there was a break in the squall line. If a break in the weather existed then they would be able to punch though and land at islamabad. The pilots of flight 213 were in luck. The controller said “I am observing some kind of gap (ah) between radial 160 to radial 220”. The captain had a decision to make either divert or thread the line between two thunderstorms. He chose the latter, he was gonna go for it. The controller started to give the pilots the vectors to go through the storm and to line up with runway 36.
    As the plane was being battered by bad turbulence, the first officer wanted the captain to divert but the captain just said “no no we don’t have to go there, we have to land here”. He had made up his mind, this plane was gonna land at islamabad. As the initial bout of weather subsided, the captain started to relax a bit and he started chatting with the air traffic control and he also joked with the first officer. As the 737 got down to 5500 feet, the pilots started to receive signals from the ILS on the ground. They were so close to landing and the pilots began their descent down to the runway. The pilots got a weather report from Islamabad and they acknowledged they were going to go ahead with this landing. The squall line was still 10-15 miles away from the plane. The pilots knew that they were cutting it close, they said “so...we are likely to get very
    close to it”. They were playing a dangerous game and they knew it. As the plane got closer to the airport it entered a cloud bank and it was battered by heavy rains. As they pushed deeper into the weather system the cockpit grew dark. In the cockpit the an alarm was heard as the plane breached 2500 feet of altitude above the ground. As they made their final turn towards to the runway. The captain turned off the autopilot and joked “what have i done?”. As the captain kept the plane under control they prepped the plane for landing, the flaps came out and the pilots made some adjustments to make sure that the plane was lined

      The result is not only a dim witted population (Muslims have the lowest average IQ of all major religions), but one where the people pay more attention to what their life will be like after they die.

      Next thing he knows, he's dead and staring at God. The rabbi is totally dismayed. "God, I believed in you 100%. Why did you abandon me?? Why didn't you help me?"

    I don't understand this. One of the very basic things a student pilot learns is, level the wings, FULL power, raise the nose level when safe, as the airspeed comes up, start a climb,. positive rate, gear up, the flaps up as the aircraft gains altitude. It's basic airmanship. So I guess the PR was better landing at destination even though they were all killed, then diverting which would be bad PR.

      It’s amazing because usually the aviation industry is hyper sensitive about safety issues.
      I mean once on one of my first days as part of the ground crew teams I’m riding the van that’s taking us across the airfield to the next 737 max 8 that had recently landed to clean it and I spot a half full bottle of water seemingly discarded in the middle of the taxi way leading to the bottom of the runway where the planes get into position to power up along the runway and takeoff. I’m surprised so I say what I see out loud.
      This made my supervisor stop the van hard and demand where I’m seeing it. He follows to where I’m pointing and then gets on the handheld radio to report it. He thanked me, but it wasn’t until later I learned that the planes were grounded and incoming planes were put in a circling holding pattern for about half an hour while the offending bottle was removed and the rest of the taxi ways, apron, aircraft stands and the runway itself were carefully examined for and more FOD then re-opened.
      All that happened because a cleaner on her first week on the job had spotted something wrong and been taken seriously. That’s what the aviation industry is normally like. Safety is priority and so even the most lesser of employees are trained to look, and report even when they just feel that something isn’t right.
      I’m just amazed things like this story keep on happening.

(quite literally, nose up, loss of altitude, loss of airspeed is the exact sequence brought up in more than one of my aviation textbooks) it's incredibly important for pilots to understand that you should not mess around with torrential rain. it can and will push airliners into the ground like they're paper airplanes.

      @@Rapscallion2009 I’m not a pilot, but from what little I understand if the autopilot is on, and the human pilot makes a strong enough movement manually with his flight controls be it yoke or side stick then I think that will disconnect the autopilot. But nowadays the aircraft will bleep at the pilots whenever the autopilot disconnects. I’m not sure about the auto throttle though.
      One of the tragic things about that flight is that Airbus has included a system that can allow one pilot to take control from the other one in emergencies. I think pilots are trained that if one sees the other doing something potentially dangerous then he can say “my aircraft” and the other one is supposed to let go of the controls. Which it sounds like the FO should have done here. But if the captain doesn’t let go, then the FO can press a button on his side stick and hold it down. While he’s doing that the aircraft will ignore all inputs from the captain side and verbally announce it he first officer side has priority control.
      At that point if the captain wants control over the plane back, he has to force the FO to let go of the button by attacking him physically. Sadly, when a captain makes mistakes and the first officer doesn’t save the aircraft because he’s too scared to challenge the captain has crashed more than one airliner jet.

      Tenerife, other examples from the U.S. whose names slip my mind for now... have happened aa the PIC was hell vent on either covering up on lost time... or wanting to not divert but land at the scheduled airport... so as to not mis out on suitable rostering for the near future flights.
      Or simply being too exhausted to have to come back from the alternate airport or under moral or actual pressure from the company and/or the management to not increase incidental costs for the company.
      .
      .
      Diversions often lead to delays of subsequent flights or ancillary costs of rebooting the connecting flights of the PAX or adjusting them with flights on some other partner airline.

    Am I the only one who was thinking of adding power in that situation before the narrator explained it? Anyway, I worked as an intern at a PIA facility back in the day. One of the head engineers told me a story about a senior PIA pilot and it's shenanigans.
    A flight was bound from Pakistan to EU. There was a senior captain and a young FO piloting the plain. As they were approaching their destination in EU, they were receiving warnings that there is a huge storm ahead and were asked to divert. Other aircrafts in the vicinity obliged, but the captain said to the FO, "Would you like to see a real storm today?", the FO said nervously.... 'oooook'
    That captain took the plain through that storm and ended up battering the plane to oblivion, they landed safely though.
    But what happened was the plane ended up being benched at that EU airport for repairs as it was deemed unflyable and PIA ended up paying loads of PUBLIC money because of that egotistical pilot.
    Back home, he didn't even get a slap on the wrist.

    I eventually entered my housing society a few minutes later which is at an elevated land. It was super cloudy and dark. But then I felt as if sun broke through the clouds in the sky on my right. I found it stra ge because it was evening and my car was moving towards west so the sun should have been straight ahead.
    That's when I looked right and saw a huge fireball rising up from the ground at a far away distance. It was this ill fated plane.
    I couldn't believe my eyes. I drove straight back home and switched on the TV. Nothing related to the incident was on it. At least not yet. So I went to my house's rooftop with my zoom camera.

The joke has the structure and feel of a typical dig at atheists but lacks the non-believer who gets schooled at the end.

    Its amazing how often there are accidents when something is unusual.... Look at the Titanic or the Costa Concordia for two shipping examples of smilier kind of things. I would bet that likely there where company people onboard or at least they where in contact with such and there was pressure on them to get the play through... three days later chances are no one would have cared but for the first flight that's not going to be the case.

    This was a very tragic incident. I remember aunt of my office colleague lost her life in this.

    2:02 When the pilot says "No God Will Help Us" you are in deep trouble.

    This was one where I couldn't help yelling "punch it! Throttle to the wall!", but easy to say when you're not there. Bad training.....

    The last thing I'd want to hear from a pilot is 'god will help us'. I want to know that the pilot(s) have the skill to deal with the situation, not just leave it to chance.

    Landing is a relative term. You can land in a field, a tree line, a neighborhood, or preferably...the destination airport.

    I always wanted this landing challenge in the new MS Flight Simulator 2020. I tell my self with more preparation I could have saved or landed.

    Sounds like the Captain should not have been in charge of so many peoples lives. Terrible CRM and bad choice to fly through a thunderstorm. Should have diverted, obviously.

    Wow, well I guess when your relying on the big invisible guy in the sky to get you on the ground safely...this could happen. Who could've imagined that outcome🤷‍♂️

    Just discovered your channel, and if I could offer some constructive criticism, I'd recommend staying from subjective comments, and opinions. Saying things like "The captain was terrified." You have no idea what his state of mind was at that moment. I'd also recommend watching The Flight Channel" RUclips channel, as he/she keeps it very factual, with no additional commentary.
