PIA plane crash near Model Colony Karachi with 93+ on board

Looks like both engines.

1)RAM air turbine deployed which means, both engines failed an APU failed or was out of service(mostly in PIA a320s)

2) the black soot emerging from within the engine cowlings, this may have been caused by the IDGs which generates electricity for the plane and is the most changed component of the engine, it probably ran out of oil and overheated.

The pilots had no power and relied on RAT and once reaching approach speeds it was useless too.
 
Noticed from the images that the FLAPS were not deployed. Is this normal during approach and also could this point to total Engine & Hydraulics failure?
 
Seems a bird strike on approach. Lately, there have been too many birds in that area, specially the populated area. A plane can't lose both engines simultaneously unless big birds such as black kites, which are in plenty in Karachi nowadays, strike the plane. These birds fly high and in large numbers.

They are all Shuhada, the passengers as well as those who died on the ground. Also, they are gone in the blessed month of Ramadan, in shaa Allah they are going to Jannah directly. May Allah give sabr to the kins of those who died.

The Final Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, “The martyrs are seven, other than the one who is killed in the Way of Allaah, Ta’aalaa:
– one who dies of plague,
– one who drowns,
– one who dies of pleurisy,
– one who dies of stomachache,
– one who dies due to burning
– one who dies under a demolition (by accident)
– a woman who dies with a baby in her womb.”

(Maalik, Aboo Dawood, An-Nasaaee, Ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibban, Haakim, Ahmad. Authenticated by Sheikh Muhammad Nasir-ud-Deen al-Albani)

May Allah give speedy recovery to the wounded.

There is actually one in that final picture. The practice of dumping trash near the approaches continues(well Pakistanis dump trash everywhere) which is going to keep these risks high.
 
Apparently the aircraft circled 3 times as it had landing gear trouble.
.. its standerd procedure, for landing gear malfunctions, without hydarulic fluid in central hydraulic system, several flight systems become inoperative.among them wing spoilers, the center autopilot,extension and retraction flaps

Look at the engines. Look jagged and burnt on the bottom.

This is why I am pretty sure it is a bird strike.. but anyway it's my opinion.. let the investigation results come and only then we can ascertain the exact reason.
