The Lukla-bound AG-101 crashed on August 24, 2010 at Shikharpur, Makawanpur, 19.5 aeronautical miles (35 kilometers) south of Kathmandu while it was diverting back to Kathmandu due to bad weather in Lukla.
Captain Lucky Shah was one of the most experienced pilot in the domestic airline industry. Air Hostess, Sarah Sherpa had left her job at Yeti Airlines and joined Agni... it was her first flight for Agni! There were tourists visiting the Lukla region and other Nepali entrepreneurs and tourist guides as well!
And today, our dailies report that the accident was due to failure of both generators rey! In Nepal, when a domestic plane crashes, the media and them Civil Aviation folks blame the pilots and the weather. Yes, we know that the weather is pretty rough in them mountains but our pilots have the experience to fly our planes anywhere in Nepal.
Our media and the government folks never blame the maintenance crew or the station manager at them remote places! Buddha has the best crew in town and then Yeti comes second and what about the rest of them? Agni has them old planes and Guna bought all them 'old' ones from Buddha!
Talking about them station managers, there is $$$ to be made when it comes to them rural areas. Thanks to our leaders, our hilly regions are still way behind when it comes to them infrastructure stuff. The only roads we see... probably the ones leading to some MP's house in some gau ... hola!
So most of them goods need to be transported via air and that's where them station managers make them moolah! The media never reports about how station managers load more cargo than allowed and some of the crashes have occurred due to the plane not being able to maintain the speed for take-off or something like that!
Well, some of you might say ... 'When it's your time to go, then you gotta go' but to lose your loved ones due to the failure of the maintenance crew or the civil aviation folks (them air traffic nautankis) ... is something that could have been avoided!
I usually fly Buddha or Yeti but have tried Agni few times as well. Flying to Pokhara or Bhairahawa is like playing Ludo and sipping milk-chai for our pilots. I have no idea what that meant but ... it's like a piece of cake for them rey.... but flying to them hilly regions requires ... a little more concentration than usual ... rey!
Anyways, our love and prayers to all them Agni Air Crash vicitms and their families.... and hope one day we will have better people managing the Civil Aviation body and have more competent folks who do them maintenance stuff and more professional station managers at them airports!
