OP-ED: Heroes never die

Captain Nawshad was much more than an everyday pilot
Captain Nawshad, who suffered a heart attack mid-air, passed away on August 30. But his name will remain alive in the hearts of many forever. The 124 passengers and six crew of the Boeing 737 of Biman Bangladesh Airlines flying from Muscat to Dhaka could never forget the brave pilot who, risking his own life, made a safe landing at Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur. 

Though Captain Nawshad Ataul Quaiyum suffered a massive cardiac arrest on flight, he remained calm and careful till the emergency landing in Nagpur. Imagining how much responsibility one must possess to make this heroic landing makes us bow our heads in respect to the captain.
