The Tragic Story of Bhoja Air Flight 213

On April 20, 2012, a Boeing 737 filled with 127 people plunged from the sky during a violent thunderstorm, leaving passengers and crew in a desperate struggle for survival. Flight 213, serving as Bhoja Air's inaugural service from Karachi to Islamabad, faced an impending disaster that would expose deep flaws in pilot training and airline regulations.

Setting the Stage for Disaster

Bhoja Air Flight 213 took off from Karachi with 121 passengers and six crew members onboard. Among the crew was an off-duty cabin crew member who was riding in the cockpit. Despite the cheerful start, the conditions were primed for tragedy. Islamabad was engulfed in severe thunderstorms, which the two pilots were ill-equipped to handle.
