Bossy and overbearing with below average intelligence is a terrible combo.

"Negative sir, we are comfortable we can make it. Inshallah" - As an Arab speaker with no prior knowledge of this particular incident, the second he said Inshallah, I knew that this flight was doomed. Inshallah literally means "if god wills it" and is something you never want to hear, especially from a cockpit in in the context of the pilots of PiA8303. It can be be used as a courtesy, but in in this context it is essentially a "jesus take the wheel" moment. In a cockpit there is no "inshallah" unless you have lost all engines and all controls.

My family doctor, who was one of the most humble and generous old man I have known, was on that plane heading to see his daughter and grandchildren for Eid. May he rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It is insane how safe planes are. The sheer amount of incompetence and bad luck it takes to damage one, and the sheer amount of damage it takes to break one, makes it seem insane that anyone manages to do it - and yet some people take that as a challenge!

The fact that the pilots seemed to fully believe that as long as they managed to actually land they wouldn't be in trouble should be an indictment of the whole company

Im from Karachi where this crash happened. It was so tragic. This was the second major crash in Pakistan in recent years and both of them happened because of the Captain's arrogance. Unfortunately corruption runs very deep in our country and that's one of the reasons why people are where they shouldn't be at all.

I have been an Airline Pilot for almost 20 years and this must be the absolute worst case of total incompetence, gross neglience, and sheer disregard for EVERY basic flying rule and procedure. During the description of the events, my incredulity kept rising to new levels that i didn't think were possible. This represents everything aviation should never be.

If the goal was to ignore the most warnings possible in the least amount of time, this guy takes the cake.

"He (the ATC) will be surprised at what we have done." - Captain of PIA flight 8303 (Before surprising whole world including themselves)

I mean, in the midst of the tragedy, the fact these guys could do every single thing wrong and still have multiple chances to land safe, even late in the situation, is pretty remarkable.

The original evaluation about this pilot was absolutely correct. This man had no business flying an aircraft.

massive respect for Engine no 2.. That piece of engineering kept on working despite such abuse..

this story reminded me of that story where a religious guy is stuck on the roof of his house in a flood, and whenever someone tries to rescue him he goes "god will save me" until he drowns. Then he asks god why he didn't get saved and god says "I sent you two boats and a helicopter." The ATC here was the voice of god. And the pilot rejected every single life saving order he was being given. Such is the ego of man.

"He will be impressed what we've done!" No my friend, the whole world will have a hard look at you and train everyone to not do what you did! Rest in peace all those who lost their lives! 😢

This basically explains my first Microsoft flight simulator approach

It should be airline policy to periodically listen to recorded conversations of the cockpit to audit that pilots are properly following procedures

It's finally happened. We've finally reached the level of incompetence that you'd be better off selecting passengers to fly the approach.

To me, that is one of the most horrifying incidents I can recall. There were so many opportunities to avoid it. That crew was consuming slices of Swiss cheese faster than they could be produced.

You're right on point. This video has given me an in-depth idea of how pilots were flying. I lost two of my friends, one with their entire family, including two kids and a wife, losing their lives. My condolences to all the families for the loss of everyone onboard. May God give them peace and the highest place in heaven.
