A year back, 98 passengers and flight crew members, including supermodel Zara Abid died in a PIA plane crash.
The PIA plane had crashed into a residential area near Model Colony in Karachi’s Malir neighbourhood after losing its engines. The PK-8303 tragedy has become the third most horrifying incident in aviation disasters in the country’s history.
An investigation into the plane crash, however, still remains unresolved.
According to a preliminary investigation report prepared by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board, the pilots were not focused and their lack of concentration caused the crash.
During the ill-fated flight, the pilots made a first landing attempt and the plane briefly touched the ground multiple times, before attempting to land for a second time.
