[Bad plane crash in Pakistan](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17788698) - no reason for me to think **AK84** was on it but when I saw the headline I just had one of those quick thoughts - “Hope **AK84** wasn’t on it.”

You might be amused to hear that it crashed not far from district courts. Less amusing, it fell on a residential area.

My colleagues neighbour’s were on the flight. Both of the couple died and left behind a young son and a newborn daughter.

People on the ground died as well. All in all a vile situation.
