The bodies were exhumed wearing oxygen masks. Karachi plane crash

Karachi Highway Faisal is usually congested in the afternoon but due to the lockdown the traffic was less than usual so ambulances and fire brigade vehicles were seen speeding towards Jinnah Garden in Model Colony from where Smoke was rising after the PIA plane crashed.

The route to Model Colony passes in front of Jinnah International Airport, where many of the families of passengers aboard PIA Flight PK8303 will be present to greet them, but outside on television screens when After the first crash of the plane crash, then the news and finally the pictures, we don't know what the scene will be like then, thinking that we left for Malir Cantt.

The same road connects Shahra-e-Faisal to the Super Highway which passes through Malir Cantt. On one side of gate number five is the civilian population of Model Colony and on the other side is the residential area of ​​the cantonment. The airport runway is a few hundred meters away.

As soon as we got there, cars and motorbikes were parked on the road and a large number of people were present. Due to the proximity of the cantonment, there was a heavy contingent of army personnel, with Rangers, police, elite police force personnel and their vehicles in such large numbers that it was difficult for the fire brigade and ambulance to pass. Was The bodies were being transported in the ambulances of Edhi and Chhipa welfare agencies. If you looked through the glass, you could see the burnt body inside, which indicated that it would be very difficult to identify these passengers.  Faisal Edhi, head of the Edhi Foundation, recently recovered from Corona. He was there with his rescue team. He said that when they arrived, there was no smoke but the fire was still burning, access to the street was very difficult, they entered with great difficulty and four or five of the injured were rushed to the hospital.  "The accident happened just two to two and a half hundred meters from the runway. The plane hit a water tank on the third floor and crashed into a twenty-foot-wide alley," he said. The wreckage of the plane blocked the road. We climbed on the roofs of the houses and transported the injured from the roofs to the houses and from the stairs to the ambulance.

According to Faisal Edhi, the bodies they removed were wearing masks that provide oxygen in emergencies.

Meanwhile, a fire brigade official said that seat belts were fastened when they removed the bodies.

Faisal Edhi had a megaphone in his hands while the army personnel also brought with them a large chargeable speaker with the help of which people were being told to stay away.

Provincial Minister Nasir Shah also termed the presence of a large number of people in the rescue operation as a major problem. "People have sympathetic feelings so they rushed to the spot but it is causing problems for the rescue workers," he said.  A video of a camera mounted on the roof of a house has surfaced on social media, showing the plane on a low flight, then colliding and clouds of black smoke rising. It was 2:25 p.m. at the time of the accident.  An eyewitness said, "As soon as we went out after praying, we saw that the plane was coming down a little too much. Well, from here, the planes take off at a lower level, but it was at a lower level than usual." Then I heard a sudden explosion.  A young man named Kamran said that as soon as he reached the scene of the accident, he saw that there was a servant whose arm and leg were broken but he was alive. Meanwhile, the car exploded and his tank may have exploded. Then the smoke went up and I ran away. Then another servant came and we took a man and a woman out of there. ' Model Colony is a densely populated area with two to three story houses in the Jinnah Garden area where three to four houses were affected and bodies were recovered.  A resident of the same affected street said that as soon as he returned from prayers, he rushed his family out. He alleged that "civil aviation vehicles delayed in pouring water, which caused the fire to spread."   Mudassar Hassan, a young man at the scene, said he had gone to a nearby store to pick up goods when the blast occurred. "The road is narrow and its entrance is not known, which is why the fire brigade was also moving around," he said. '

Power was cut off in the area where the plane crashed, while mobile signals were also affected, prompting relatives of residents to reach the area in a state of panic.  An elderly woman repeatedly asks where the plane crashed because her brother lives here. But in this situation, the officials did not have time to listen to him. Officers sternly warned her, after which she moved to another street in tears.   According to civil aviation officials, a black box has been found which will be sent for decoding and the report may take several weeks to arrive.  An audio of a conversation between the pilot and the control room is also circulating on social media, in which the captain says his engines have malfunctioned, and the tower responds in the usual tone to Bailey Landing (remember That when the landing gear of the plane does not work, then the plane is landed on its stomach) The pilot says 'May D, May D' and then the connection is lost. The bodies of the deceased have been brought to Jinnah Hospital. The number of corpses was such that the space in the morgue was reduced and many corpses had to be kept outside, which further aggravated the condition of the burnt corpses and so far only five corpses have been identified.  Biometrics is being done in the first phase to identify unidentified passengers. A spokesman for Pakistan's national registration agency, NADRA, told the BBC that authorities had contacted him, after which teams had been sent to identify as many bodies as possible with fingerprints.  It should be noted that the health department has announced to get the DNA of the unidentified passengers.
