Very sad to hear the loss of the young pilot. May Allah subhantAllah forgive her sins and place her in Jannah.

I have no intention of offending anyone on this forum or but I was just wondering, If this accident had happened with civil aircraft then the whole nation and media would have been blaming pilots, engineers, aircraft, management etc. No one gets the info on these accidents.

Why cant we get the facts on this accidents? was it a pilot error, malfunction etc..?
