Product Description
Passengers aboard Pakistan International Airlines Flight 805 - many of them school children - were increasingly nervous. Some verged on panic. Even the flight crew looked pale and worried.Aboard was General Pervez Musharraf, chief of the Pakistan army and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. At 6.45pm, Musharraf was quietly summoned to the cockpit. The pilot informed him that air traffic control in Karachi had radioed that the place could not land there. This was not all: it was forbidden to land anywhere in Pakistan. The pilot had been ordered to leave Pakistani airspace immediately. The Karachi airport tower official would offer no explanation and would not suggest alternative airports.
