The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on Saturday issued a preliminary investigation report on the Bhoja Air plane crash.
According to the report, the plane was properly positioned when it begun its approach. Three minutes before the crash, the plane’s captain informed the control tower that the plane was getting out of his control as a fuel tank had caught fire.
The pilot asked for help to attempt an emergency landing, telling controllers he could see the roofs of homes but not the airport’s landing strip. The airliner descended 50 feet more before its tanks exploded, said the report.
The plane was flying at the altitude of 2,000 metres when it last contacted the control tower. Minutes prior to its planned landing at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport, the plane had been descending at a speed of 500 kilometres per hour before it eventually crashed, the report revealed.
May Allah bless them all. Amen.
if the fuel jet exploded, it couldnt be due to weather then.. can it be?
No it couldnt..thats what the eye-witnesses said, they saw it on fire in the air..so if Bhoja was sold a defective plane, or knowingly flew a defective one, where are the souls of these owners eventually end up?..but that could still be a long time away..who will make them pay here?..
Give me a break. Not more than 48 hrs later they already know the cause of the crash? Complete BS. They haven't even analyzed the cockpit voice recorder, nor the flight data recorder.
They would have had the transmission before the recorders were recovered.
I have to wonder if someone on board had powerful enemies?
I wonder if the CAA will own this statement. What fuel tanks? these are built into the wings and not visible externally. Eye-witness must have seen the plane on fire after its first impact with the ground / house tops.
