The book, “Seat 1C: A Survivor’s Tale of Hope, Resilience of Renewal”, written by the survivor of Pia Crash Zafar Masud was unveiled during an event organized by “Milkar” in Karachi on Saturday.
The Mir Khalil-Ur-Rehman (MKRF) Foundation, in partnership with British Asian Trust, launched the “Milkar” national campaign to solve mental health problems in Pakistan last year.
The “Milkar campaign aims to raise awareness, eliminate stigma, raise red flags, profile successes and facilitate the supply of aid”.
In his book, Masud, one of the two survivors of the PIA plane accident in Karachi in 2020, discussed the impacts of traumatic events on human life. The book also discusses his post-prehinean experiences, his recovery and autobiography of the author.
A large number of people from different backgrounds attend the event.
During the tragic incident on May 22, 2020, 97 passengers and crew members were killed when a pia flight in Lahore in Lahore in Karachi, PK-8303, crashed in the model colony of Karachi. However, two passengers aboard the unhappy plane miraculously survived.
Recalling the moments of the tragedy, Muhammad Zubair, the second survivor of the plane crash, said: “The whole aircraft was on fire, I miraculously survived.
“I still cannot believe that I walked in the hospital after the accident,” he added.
“Even today, I feel fear during takeoff and landing,” said Zubair.
