Truck drowns into ATTABAD Lake!

[fazalwahab11375]

The same video is getting viral, recorded at different angle. But this is more detailed as it was recorded by someone else standing on another raft of FWO.

A friend is working on a road project nearby in FWO and he updated that the driver who was inside the truck has survived and was rushed to hospital. Thanks Allah no causalities as of now.. Driver is in stable condition.

Everyday many trucks and jeeps cross this lake on Boats. Again not a good idea but this is what is possible at this time. I have seen close friends crossing same lake few months ago their SUV with family. The raft was not anchored this time it seems and I don't see any tug boats..

I have seen some pakwheeers crossing this lake same way on their expedition tours... Please be careful if anyone is planning.. Make sure all safety is in place..

I saw some crossing pictures here. But these rafts seems more technological advanced and well organized. But some of these are very very unsafe.. just planks on top of boats... https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/road-trips-vacations/216061-tour-de-khujerab-pass-skardu#post3911062

Problem with Pakistani's

You ask them to do one thing specific, " koi masla nahi, kuch nahin ho ga" they don't even know the outcome lol.
here it is.^^^ You cannot convince a Pakistani by stopping him from doing the wrong thing!

You can notice in the video how the ramp was made, is it wooden? and the speed of the truck on MUD.

Mud ain't as solid as concrete etc. and putting a certain amount of load can make sure it gives up. concrete does too, but that's after tonnes and tonnes of load.

The speed of the truck, damn it made sure it bounced really hard. feel sorry for the truck owner as it wasn't probably insured. You build proper ramps, this won't happen. But Pakistan main sab kuch chalta hai. All about destiny. Nice video btw

military raft is charging 150000/- for each single trip to these big loader's and a local desi boat is charging only 70000/- for single trip so these guy's pay attention to the price not on the safety and for more info this truck was re recovered after 2week's a humble pakistani draged it out without any sofisticated equipment. salute to his hosla.

Wait, 150,000 for a big truck loaded.. isn't that too much? and how much distance does it cover? damn that's a lot to pay!

[fazalwahab11375]

This truck is under millions of gallons of water and more recent. http://pamirtimes.net/2013/12/21/truck-loaded-chinese-goods-sinks-dammed-hunza-river/

The one which was taken out was back in October. And that was in a very shallow water.

In any case; my point is many Pakwheelers go in this area and cross this lake. I believe when they reach the bank ,The owner of the vehicle drive it to land. Everyone should be safe..

Problem in our society is "Pakistani asay and pakistani wesay"... abay tum bhi pakistani hoooo :@. dhoodh kay dhulay nai ho :@.

clearly in video people are saying that this was fault of the boat man, he shut down engines to save some bucks on fuel. but for you "Pakistani asay and pakistani wesay"

Exactly- Pakistani asay and Pakistani wesay...
Isn't the boat driver Pakistani? He obviously knew the risk of doing that, the boat wasn't even docked properly. That's what caused the accident.

Note: I am no where against Pakistani's, but their small shortcuts to save money and trick the other person is really upsetting and embarrassing. Many tourists complain about that too, as soon as a white guy goes to a shop, the price doubles. Honesty is far far gone. Yes, there are some very honest and kind-hearted people too, i remember 2 months ago, i went to buy 5o ft. gas pipe and the shop owner told me" i trust you, you can pay me back tomorrow"

No offense to anyone! And i really hope that they get some new rafts with proper ramps and docks. Imagine how much loss the truck owner has gone through!

indeed a hajoom moving in reverse gear

[faiz.aslam.121]

is this the route the ferry goes? google maps showed me this....

[hamza_xeg]

the driver came way faster then required, thank God everyone remained safe.

the chinees are also in the area and this raft belong's to their operational company working there. they charge 60000/- for small vehicle and 100000/- for loader's they had very ir responsible operator's on it as compared to our military raft's working there as you can see in the video the man was capturing all the video from the military raft loo at the safety levels. no local operator is working on the chinees raft so stop blaming it.

damn it costs soo much high...
