The year 2020 has undoubtedly spread more gloom than we were prepared for yet after COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian Air Force jet crash, Michigan flooding, Arizona shooting, three earthquakes in Delhi within a month and the havoc of cyclone Amphan, the recent plane crash in Pakistan plucked all the remaining sad strings in our heart. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight from Lahore to Karachi, crashed into a residential area near Jinnah International Airport on Friday, killing at least 97 people including those on board along with others residing in the houses of the congested lane where the horrifying incident took place.
Pakistan had resumed air travel on May 16 after a lockdown, which was imposed to combat the spread of COVID-19. The people travelling were reportedly looking forward to reunite with family on Eid 2020. In an audio circulated across social media, the pilot can be heard making a last-minute distress call, “We have lost two engines. Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. It is very serious.”
Control: appear to be turning left
