PIA flight 8303 crashed near Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, killing 97 people.The revelation came alongside a preliminary report announcing the results of the crash investigation. Pilot error was cited — the two pilots were chatting about the coronavirus pandemic during sensitive parts of the landing procedure, and repeatedly ignored warnings from air traffic controllers.In an address to Pakistan's National Assembly, the aviation minister, Ghulam Sarwar Khan, said that 262 of the 860 active commercial airline pilots in the country "did not take the exam themselves," according to CNN, referring to certification tests. The pilots in question had reportedly paid others to sit the exam for them."They don't have flying experience," Khan added.The 860 pilots flew for Pakistan International Airways — the nation's flagship carrier — as well as low-cost domestic <keyword id="44023" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="airlines">airlines</keyword> and foreign carriers.PIA grounded all of its pilots with illegitimate licenses, the <a href="https://twitter.com/Official_PIA/status/1275887690794307585">airline said in a statement</a>."PIA acknowledges that fake licenses is not just a PIA issue but spread across the entire Pakistani airline industry," airline spokesperson Abdullah Khan told CNN.It was not immediately clear whether the pilots involved in the crash had legitimate pilot licenses."The pilots were discussing corona throughout the flight. They were not focused. They talked about the coronavirus and how their families were affected," Khan, the aviation minister, said, according to CNN.Khan added that the pilots were instructed several times by air traffic controllers to abort their landing attempt because the plane was too high, "but the captain did not pay any heed to these instructions."The pilots proceeded with the attempted landing, but failed to properly lower the landing gear."The aircraft touched the runway surface on its engines," the crash report said, causing sparks and damage. The pilots tried to climb back into the air, but the damaged engines failed, causing the crash.Both Pakistan International Airlines and Pakistan's larger airline industry <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pakistan-international-airlines-safety-record-crash-2020-5">have had a spotty safety record over the years</a>, with several incidents including another fatal crash within the past decade.

"The way things were handled, it seemed we would just make a routine landing," he told Geo News.The plane then hit the runway before lurching upwards, Zubair said. At that point: "People began to pray fervently."When he came round, Zubair said, all he could see was "smoke and fire.""I could hear screams from all directions. Kids and adults.

I went towards the light. I had to jump down about 10 feet to get to safety."Alongside Zubair, the only other passenger to survive was Zafar Masud, the CEO of Bank of Punjab, one of Pakistan's biggest retail banks.

The airline that crashed in Pakistan has a spotty safety record, with several incidents in the past decade, including a fatal crash

More than 90 people have been confirmed dead after a <keyword id="404547" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pakistan-International-Airlines">Pakistan International Airlines</keyword> (PIA) passenger plane crashed into a residential area in <keyword id="6587" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="karachi">Karachi</keyword> near the city's airport, while a search and rescue operation continued on Saturday, according to authorities. Sindh health officials have said that 97 people have been confirmed dead, while two survived the crash on Friday that took place in the densely populated Model Colony near the Jinnah International Airport, reports Dawn news. According to PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez, the A320 Airbus was carrying 91 passengers and eight crew members from Lahore to Karachi. Eyewitnesses said the flight PK 8303 appeared to attempt to land two or three times before crashing. Meeran Yousuf, the media coordinator for the Sindh Health Minister, told Dawn news that two passengers had survived and were brought to hospitals. She identified the survivors as Zubair and Zafar Masood, who is the President of Bank of Punjab. "Zubair has 35 per cent burns and is being treated at the (Dr Ruth Pfau) Civil Hospital Karachi, while Masood has four fractures and is being treated at the Darul Sehat Hospital," said Yousuf, adding that both were in stable condition. Moreover, she said that 19 victims had been identified so far. A third person, who had earlier been identified as a survivor from the plane, was later confirmed to be a resident of the area where the plane crashed. She was among the 11 persons who were injured on the ground. Meanwhile, PIA's Chief Executive Officer Air Marshal Arshad Malik has ruled any possibility that the plane had any technical or any other issue. "All standard operating procedures were followed before the plane's takeoff," The Express Tribune quoted him as saying in a news conference on Friday night. He said the inquiry will be held to ascertain the cause of crash. But <keyword id="3001" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pakistan">Pakistan</keyword> Airlines Pilots' Association spokesperson Tariq Yahya, while speaking on Geo News, said that the plane seemed to be gliding at the end. "Communications show that the plane did not have power at the end and was gliding and couldn't make it to the runway," said Yahya, adding that it didn't have power when it was asked to climb to 3,000 feet. The crash came just days after Pakistan allowed the domestic flights to resume operations after being grounded for days due to the coronavirus pandemic. Prime Minister Imran Khan has offered condolences to the families of the departed and has ensured an immediate inquiry is instituted. Federal Minister for Aviation, Ghulam Sarwar Khan, expressed his grief and sorrow over the tragedy and has instructed the Aircraft Accident Investigation Board to come up with a prompt inquiry report for the incident. In Pakistan's most recent deadly crash, a PIA plane in 2016 burst into flames after one of its two turboprop engines failed while flying from the remote north to Islamabad, killing more than 40 people. The deadliest air disaster on Pakistani soil was in 2010, when an Airbus A321 operated by private airline Airblue and flying from Karachi crashed into the hills outside Islamabad as it came into land, killing all 152 people on board.

Death toll from Karachi plane crash rises to over 90

The Pak army had cleared the Karachi <keyword id="6355752" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="airport">airport</keyword> siege after <keyword id="16945" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Taliban">Taliban</keyword> militants attacked the airport on Sunday around midnight. At least 27 people lost their lives in the attack. Although the authorities declared that the area was ‘cleared,’ a news agency reporter witnessed fresh gunfire inside the airport, prompting security forces to re-launch the operation. 
 
The terrorist attack on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi took place around midnight on Sunday and went on till dawn. Ten terrorists, equipped with suicide vests, grenades and rocket launchers, were involved in the attack. 
 Tehreek-e-Taliban <keyword id="3001" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pakistan">Pakistan</keyword> (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was its revenge for the killing of its leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike in November 2013. The TTP also rejected the Pakistan government’s recent offer of peace and warned of more attacks in the future. 
 
“We carried out this attack on the Karachi airport and it is a message to the Pakistan government that we are still alive to react to the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages,” said Shahidullah Shahid, a Taliban spokesperson. 
 
According to officials, the gunmen entered from two sides of the airport – the terminal used for the Hajj pilgrimage and an engineering section near an old terminal that is no longer in use. According to media reports, three blasts took place as suicide bombers detonated their explosives. 
 
The attack raises serious concerns over Pakistan’s security situation.

Another person with the Twitter handle Irfan said: "ALLAH Pak doesn't like those women who are showing their body parts to everyone and jannat [heaven] is only for pure men and pure women."Abid was generally pictured in clothes and poses that would be considered normal to western liberal eyes, but could be seen as revealing in Pakistan.
