Plane crash
The recent crash of a fighter plane of Bangladesh Air Force with its pilot flight cadet Taniul Islam dead on the spot drew our notice to the hazards associated with operating aircraft in our country. A survey report says that there have been 44 deaths of air force personnel so far and only in 50 per cent cases could the reasons be unearthed. That means that the other accidents are still clueless.
With this awesome fact there goes the syndrome of nose-diving of the flights of Bangladesh Biman which rings an alarm bell.
There had been much talk over the issue, many measures have been taken into account, yet none could stop this ghastly phenomenon. That reveals our incompetence, sheer negligence and above all our ailing mindset. We do not do the fact-finding.
