Pakistan jet with 98 aboard crashes in crowded neighborhood

Volunteers look for survivors of a plane that crashed in residential area of Karachi, Pakistan, May 22, 2020. An aviation official says a passenger plane belonging to state-run Pakistan International Airlines carrying more than 100 passengers and crew has crashed near the southern port city of Karachi.

The pilot was heard transmitting a mayday to the tower shortly before the crash of Flight 8303, which was flying from Lahore to Karachi and carrying many traveling for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. As darkness fell, crews worked under floodlights, and a portable morgue was set up. The Sindh provincial health department said it had recovered 57 bodies, while PIA chairman Arshad Malik said finding all the dead could take two to three days.

That’s so sad 🙏 I’ll pray for them.

Poor souls. It's Ramadan too. May they rest in paradise and hope their loved ones are able to remain strong.

God bless these people—RIP.

That's simply terrifying... My deepest condolences to their families.

How terrifying! You don’t really hear of engine failure crashes anymore. I wonder why the pilot tried three times to land and couldn’t put the bird down safely even with the one out. My guess is the cockpit was filled with smoke and they couldn’t see.

Tragic
