KARACHI (92 News) – The investigation team visited the crash site and inspected the plane’s parts on Sunday. The investigation experts inspected the evidence and technical aspects of the incidents. A team of Airbus will reach Karachi from France to inspect the plane. According to a footage obtained by 92 News, the engines of the ill-fated plane had struck against the ground on the runway. However, PIA Public Relations GM Abdullah Khan told 92 News that the people should wait for the inquiry report instead of issuing statement on the matter. Sources said that before the landing, the height and speed of the plane was much more. “Despite instructions of the Air Traffic Control, the pilot did not bring the plane at the required height and speed. The tyres did not open when it tried to land. The engines were affected after striking against the runaway. The pilot could not achieve the height and went out of control,” they disclosed. On the other hand, 34 bodies identified so far have been handed over to their relatives. The people residing in the area hit by the plane did not celebrate Eid. Meanwhile, one of the injured passengers Zubair was discharged from hospital. Another injured passenger Zafar Masood is being treated in a private hospital.
