Statement Of The Surviving Passenger Of The Pakistani Plane: 'When You Come To Your Senses, You Only Hear Flames And Screams'

Agency, June 10. A survivor of a plane crash in the Pakistani city of Karachi on Friday said he regained consciousness shortly after the crash and saw nothing but fire around him.

"I can only hear the noise, the crying and the screaming," he said, describing the tragic ordeal.

Muhammad Zubair, one of the two survivors of a Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A320 that crashed in a residential area near Karachi airport on Friday, said: "The plane tried to land once. But the accident happened in 10/15 minutes. '

Zubair, who is being treated at the hospital, said, "No one knew there was a plane crash. The plane was flying smoothly.

When he regained consciousness after the accident, he said that he only heard noise and shouting from all sides. He said, 'I can only hear screams everywhere. The screams of children and adults alike. I saw only flames everywhere. No man is seen anywhere. I can only hear their cries and screams. '

Describing the painful moment, he says, 'I opened my waistband. I saw a little light and went in the direction of the light coming. To be safe, I jumped to a depth of 10 feet. '

Surprisingly, 97 passengers were burnt to death and only minor injuries were reported in Zubair. Another surviving passenger was Bank of Punjab chairman Jafar Masood, a provincial government spokesman said. Both were sitting in front of the plane. A TV journalist has also been involved in the incident.

Ninety-seven people were killed and two others were rescued alive. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined, but the pilot told the control tower that there was a technical problem while attempting to land. In another conversation, the word maid was used for an emergency landing.

According to a conversation between the air traffic control and the pilot in the Pakistani news, the pilot said that the engine of the plane did not work. The air traffic controller said are you going to 'belly land'? That was asked. It is heard in the audio that the pilot answered 'Mayday, Mayday, Mayday' at the same time.

The crash happened the day after the government, which had suspended flights due to the corona virus, allowed flights inside the country. The CCTV footage shows the accident when it reached the nearest colony from the airport. It is said that a black box should be found to find out the exact cause of the accident.
