Story of Engineering Diasaster

Story of an Engineering Diasaster

A.H Amin

An engineer battalion is tasked to dismantle a Bailey Bridge at Baraluma on Gilgit Skardu Road in 1982.

No officer goes with the team to supervise this highly complicated operation.

A JCO ( something higher than NCO and lower than juniormost officer ) is sent.

The bridge is triple story,single span , 190 feet long , bailey bridge.

Since the team was non technical the bridge collapses into a 110 feet deep rocky ravine.All 39 men killed !

No one held responsible ! No one punished !

This is Pakistan and Pakistan Army !

Anything goes !
