Karachi Plane Crash : What happened?

Yesterday, A commercial flight ended up crashing in a residential area in Karachi. This comes after days of Pakistan announcing that they have decided to resume commercial flights.

The crash happened near the Jinnah International Airport, where it was scheduled to land. The plane took off in Lahore with 99 passengers on board ( previously falsely stated as 107 ), aviation experts suggest an engine failure might have been the cause of the crash although investigation is currently ongoing.

 In an audio recording aired in local news channels, the pilot can be heard speaking to the tower, expressing that one of the engines had stopped working shortly before the crash.

Out of the 99 passengers on board, only one has survived. So far two deaths have been confirmed on ground with more casualties being reported by local hospitals as the hours go by.

 My condolences to everyone who was effected by this gruesome tragedy and my appreciation to those working to help the people effected by this disaster.
