Wind shear was a contributing factor in the crash of Bhoja Air Boeing 737-236 Advanced (registration AP-BKC) that was performing flight B4-213 from Karachi and crashed during landing approach to Islamabad Airport on April 20, 2012. All 127 people aboard the aircraft, including 6 crew members, died in that accident. Weather was bad with rain and lightning at the time of accident.

Why does it take forever for these things to be done?

Why can't it all be done and finished within a month or so and have it up and running ?
