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

. .
Just let PIA go bankrupt and sell all of its assets. Its an international embarrassment now and a danger to our citizens.

LOL ......... I understand the term, I wasn't asking about the weather storm, rather the "perfect storm". There was probably just one issue with the nose gear not lowering. Not multiple issues as you are trying to table as until now there is no such indication in public knowledge.

A perfect storm means
    • an especially bad situation caused by a combination of unfavourable circumstances.
      "the past two years have been a perfect storm for the travel industry"

That's exactly what I am contemplating we
Know very little at this point we should not pass a verdict against the pilots offhand and in haste with such scarce and sparse data. That's all eid Mubarak

He was calm because he thought there was no emergency at that time or did not realize how grave the situation was, the panic would have struck the moment he calls mayday mayday mayday, probably at that point the plane just dipped and he realized they are not going to make it. May ALLAH have mercy on the departed souls.

Mayday.. Mayday - it's amazing how cool & calm the captain was.
 
.
There will be an investigation.

Keep your schemes to yourself till the investigation is completed.
What is wrong with my schemes if PIA has been nothing but disastrous for Pakistan for past years?! A big burden on our economy. Either sell all of its assets or privatize it. They should have done it as soon as CEO of PIA lost his case in Supreme court. There is no winning after he lost his case, ghost employees are still working at PIA and they are in hundreds.

IMHO he shouldn't have taken off when he scraped the runway for so long. Should've taken his chances on the ground rather than in the air. Hindsight is 20/20 of course and judging is easy as long as we're not in the pilots seat.

Let the investigation take place.

With economic hitmen at the helm you may get your wish in the end

That Jerking may have been caused by the landing gears being deployed.. the drag they created with both engines down led to the plane to fall from the sky.. with both engines failed the pilot should have waited until the last moment to deploy the landing gear...

I agree, but the problem was his first touch down was to way too far and maybe he didn't realize that he had scrapped/damaged the engines, besides when you are intentionally coming in for a touch and go hoping to bump out the nose gear, you are coming in slightly sharp and fast and committed to take off again, it all happens within seconds and you don't have time to look out the window and see if the engines are damaged or not. I think the manoeuvre was fine but the execution was not perfect.

We need to realize this kind of things are practised on simulators only and I am not sure how frequently? so when you come face to face with such a situation it's always going to be risky.

Usually pilots on jets have to re-certify every year in the US (someone correct me if i'm wrong, vaguely remember from Premier1Driver youtube video). I don't get how the pilot managed to put it down in the middle of the runway. He wasn't properly configured for landing is my opinion.
