If you look at the above photo, you can see black kite bird above the plane. And what I have seen all my life living in Karachi, black kites don't come in single digits.
Model colony (just like any other area of Karachi) has been converted into a trash dump. CAA has the responsibility to maintain the area of 8 km radius around the airport, and it does. But like you said, what to do about the people?
Unconfirmed but I am hearing reports of more survivors
Tragic. Landing gear problems, engine problems with a miscalculated decision to burn too much fuel. Missed approach followed by Go-around and after that it was just tragic. As someone who works on A320s, this saddens me a lot.
It does not look like a bird strike.
And that 8km is an arbitrary figure because of inter crossing of authorities having jurisdiction.
I am desperately trying to contact the ones i know who live in this locality. It is highly densely populated area and i pray to Allah that we avert far greater numbers in this tragedy.
I fear it maybe pilot error. Let's hope the investigation boards comes up with something conclusive.Just seems like the odds were against the pilots with landing gear and engine problems. Truly saddening and numbing May Allah grant them all Jannah
Who gave clearance to fly from Lahore? What was this plane's penultimate completed trip?
Maybe its not.
But the bird strike incidents have increased in the past few years.
Regarding overlapping jurisdictions, they need to come up with something useful now to avoid incidents in future. It's not about this incident only, there's another disaster expected if corrective actions are not taken soon.
Quite unlikely that both engines suffered bird strike at the same time unless the plane flew through a swarm of birds. You never know with the lack of flights due to corona birds might have started venturing in the area.Maybe its not.

I heard they were planning a Bahria town Karachi Airport, But then they were rumours, Nothing moreWell, Model Colony is not a trash free area, opps whole Karachi isn't! There is no way to fix our people, we need to move the airport. I am sure Zardari's friends can assist in finding a proper location.
