May Allah shows mercy to her and all passengers who became shaheed in this crash

May their families bestowed with blessings and patience.

Ameen

To imagine they were probably going for Eid to be with their families. Being islolated due to corona and finally some happiness and reunion. Its just so heartbreaking. May Allah have mercy. And those that must anxiously be awaiting their return. So senseless and painful

Absolutely - Catastrophic multiple system failure.

Pilot did his best. Definitely NO pilot error.

PIA Chief Executive Officer Air Marshal Arshad Malik, who has left for Karachi, said the pilot told the control room that there was a technical issue and he decided to go around rather than land even though two runways were ready for landing.

...so I guess the pilot tried to give the landing gear another shot rather than do an emergency belly landing on the cleared runways? and then, when he circled back, he couldn't reach the runway and crash landed right before?

Thank God for survivors. Did the pilot survive?

where is the fucking wisdom in having a residential area less than a kilometer from the runaway ,Ground + 2 and 3 structures , absolute greed and jihalat and corrupt mind set should also be checked

Welcome to Pakistan.

90% of our problems are all structural --- wrong people inducted into govt and making the wrong policies.

I hope this is not true else very irresponsible

This has been done before, its a common procedure to visually confirm whether the landing gear is deloyed or not.
The question is how the pilots miscalculated their height.

RIP to the deceased.

The aircraft been in storage for last 2 months due to COVID-19.
It's possible maintenance checks weren't thorough enough to notice the landing gear issue (which according to @PanzerKiel had previously been repaired)

multiple failures , after go around? then he called mayday.?
seems like the pilot was in approach for a belly landing,.. another 1 minute he, would have been on runway..

Already blaming the pilot.

Wow. He said we have lost engines. At that point, it's just about trying to make it to the runway for a belly landing.

Listening to the ATC is painful indeed!

The pilot states "We are comfortable now" and requests a go-around.
When asked to go to 3000 he realises the engines not responding at which point panic sets in.
Things may have been different if he attempted a belly landing as trying to increase altitude for go-around may have lost him a precious few hundred meters to get onto the airport land atleast

This was copy/pasted from a Dawn article, which quoted him directly.

Not blaming the pilot at all. Trying to understand what happened. In fact, earlier in the thread, I told people off for blaming the pilot.
