Default Pakistan : Over 100 dead as Airbus A320 crashes residential area, Karachi today

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-Pakistan.html


CNN HD reported it's a 15 year
old plane that has been out of service due to Covid 19.


[Plumes of smoke smothered the skyline after
the Pakistan International Airlines plane smashed
into houses among the poor and densely
populated area of Model Colony that is
two miles from the airport.
Footage showed scenes of chaos with
burning rubble and plane debris strewn
across the area as hospitals ready
themselves for a flurry of victims
and the Pakistani Army desperately
hunts for survivors.
The Prime Minister has pledged to hold
an 'immediate inquiry' into the crash.]

Amazing one man and another survived
but the Deaths of those on the thin street
are expected to be high.


Both engines cut out
maybe while this 15 year old plane
was out of use (around 8 weeks during Covid 19 lockdown)
it should have been checked.

A horrible seemingly avoidable accident RIP to them

On a side note why is a ‘travel correspondent’ reporting on the front page of the Indy that quarantine can be avoided by travelling to Dublin when the Republic has a 14 day quarantine for everyone including UK citizens starting 28th May...such lazy headline grabbing journalism

curious about what is the cause of this crash


RIP to victims of course



but this can be literally still anything, is it a problem with the engines, or was there a blocked pitot-tube (yes that can occur when a plane is on the ground for too long, bugs can go crawl inside, make nests and then your pitot-tube will send faulty readings which in turn make you lose any information as for direction you're going)

i know some things because of me being a watcher of National Geographic Air Crash Investigation
