Crashed Pakistan plane hit runway three times on first approach: minister

ISLAMABAD - The captain of a Pakistani airliner that crashed last week, killing 97 people on board, approached Karachi airport without announcing he couldn’t open his landing gear and hit the runway three times, a government minister said on Thursday.

Flight PK8303, from the eastern city of Lahore, came down less than a mile short of the runway as it was making a second attempt to land.Minister for Civil Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan told reporters the plane’s engines touched the ground three times on the first attempt at landing. “All marks are present . He was not at the proper height... Control tower informed him you aren’t at the required height, lower your altitude,” he said, adding that the pilot replied: “I will manage.”Under international aviation rules, French investigators from the BEA - the French air safety investigation authority for civil aviation - have joined the Pakistan-led probe because the 15-year-old Airbus jet was designed in France.

لا اله الا الله

The Flight Channel reenactment on YouTube is chilling to watch. The pilot was a complete moron.

Aren’t air crashes suspended with Covid and all?

Another Boeing plane falling out of the sky...the government needs to investigate Boeing now

RIP:(
