While coming from Islamabad to Karachi on 19 August 2007, after our plane landed at Karachi Airport, I heard the news that the building of Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) was on fire again. I straight away went to that place even before checking into the guest house where I was to stay. There was an ocean of people there watching this building on fire. We could not stop the car there, so I took a few shots while the car was constantly moving.

This is the second time this building is on fire. They say that there are offices of some intelligence agency in this buidling who wanted to destroy some critical record, so they managed to stage this drama.

The main sad thing was that the fire brigade was trying to extinguish the fire, but their fire fighters could not through the water to the level of fire.
