DAWN.COM | Pakistan | US plane makes emergency landing in Pakistan


Though the news is horribly stated, read it and tell me what you think?



It says all 4 engines of this beast stalled.


But DAWN has put the picture of a 787 there.

Plus they say it was rescuing people from the north. I mean, did USA really send such huge planes?

Don't know if it was rescuing people from the North but the USA certainly has sent these beasts over. I was passing by ISB(Islamabad airport) a few days back and a USAF C-17 was taking off. The runway at ISB runs parallel to the road and you can see planes taking off from there.

PS. The plane on DAWN's website is a 777-200LR, not a 787. PIA was the launch customer for the type.

Yes, they are. I have seen Chinooks too. Moving in the direction of Dhamiyal base
