When that hero pilot ditched the plane in Hudson River, both engines failed due to bird strike.

See I am not saying it's definite, but it's a possibility.

Two different scenarios , one was taking off and the other landing. That plane had altitude and was lucky enough to find river nearby. This plane was at very low altitude/speed due to landing approach so both engine failure resulted in stalling.

I was merely stating the fact that both engines can be hit at the same time, but anyway, this might be one of the many possible reasons.

So what happened first?

1. Dual Engine failure happened first
2. Landing gear and aborted belly landing

I think we get rule out fuel running out because otherwise plane would not have made to all the way from LHE to KHI if it ran out of fuel

Somebody said there is no damage to engine blades which means both engines were not running when plane crashed.

So something caused both engines to shut down in air before plane crashed but fuel didn't run out? What the hell could it be?

Some update ...
Its jam-packed...Jinnah Hospital and CMH......there are 77 bodies which are un-identified....

Two survivors came in CMH...one was BOP Chairman who has been discharged, other was a resident on ground who got some splinters.....

Possible there are maybe 5-6 more survivors who have been taken to other hospitals.

It does not look like a bird strike.

And that 8km is an arbitrary figure because of inter crossing of authorities having jurisdiction.

You are viewing this image in 2d. If you look at the size of the bird you can see the bird is perhaps hundreds of meters away from the aircraft. If you thought the bird was near the aircraft then it would have to be half the length of that very large engine or the height of the planes doorway.

For the belly landing, pilot has to ensure that the fuel is very low so that the plane doesn't explode upon touching the ground. There's a possibility that the pilot completely emptied the tanks.

There are usually multiple factors that lead to air crashes. This one seems to be no exception. From the landing gear to engine flameout to perhaps miscalculation of fuel remaining.

Once again army is rescuing.

This will keep on happening until justice is provided to each and every person of this nation.

other wise this mob will eatup army too.

no one of these rulers allows us to become a proud nation.

these janasheens of yazid will keep on farting on chairs every where in each and every office

totally helpless

have to accept it as will of God.

Then why did video show plane's landing gear was down in correct position?

Also, how could plane run out of fuel if this was only second landing attempt?

Landing gear down, and landing gear down and locked are two different things.

Fuel remaining is calculated with gear up. If the go around was made with gear down, then that fuel burn could be 3 times more.

 

[Baghial]

So what are the possible theories for what caused it so far?

Factors:

1. Landing gear
2. Fuel ran out
3. Belly landing
4. Several attempts to land
5. Black marks on bottom of engine
6. Dual engine failure
7. Hydraulic problems

...engine failure, low altitude, maybe altimeter malfunction.....crashed in houses before reaching runway, plane was already on glide path.........

However, its also a bitter reality that many Indians do possess hatred and venom for Pakistani's.

Lets not get too carried away. Many here including some moderators have rejoiced at the death of Indians.
There are some Brits who would secretly smile at such news of such tragedies.
The bitter reality is that humans everywhere sometimes take delight in tragedies befalling those they consider to be their enemies. That includes Pakistanis

Sir there are 4 confirm survivors.1 discharged from hospital and 3 still under treatment.
there are 35 dead from the plane crash at Jinnah hospital of which 5 have been identified.
All those who got injured on ground and were brought to Jinnah hospital have survived.

Condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones. Seems it was until a few more moments until the aircraft would've reached the runway. However watching the video where there's a passenger from another aircraft coming into the airport show the crash site (down on final) shows the ill-fated aircraft probably veered left of the path to the runway. How long does an aircraft like the A320 have before running out of power to control flight surfaces? It seems as there was a hydraulic failure but no indication if it did affect flight control surfaces too.

They should retire these coffins.My relative came frm dxb few days back look at the condition of the seats,panels.Its the same 320.Besharam begharat chor salay..jis ko vote do hrmza***a nikalta ha.Ask those who lost their brothers sisters, bachay etc etc.View attachment 634848View attachment 634849

You should fly some US airlines - then this blanket dismissal(while not completely without merit) would be less of a rant.

And the thieves are Pakistanis.. and the Pakistanis are thieves. They can join any profession with their culturally exposed tendency for corruption intact or they can rise above it; that choice is a personal one for each Pakistan and no messiah will help.
