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

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.

No weather, clear sunny day!!! No equipment malfunctions!!! That captain and the people that put him in that seat are beyond despicable!!!

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

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

"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 close relative lost his life in this accident, a father of two 8-years old and 5 years old. It makes me angry to see the irresponsibility of the organization and its personnel.

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. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This story gets more unbelievable and more horrifying as it goes on. Those guys weren't in a fit state to drive a bus, let alone fly an Airbus, disregarding all sense and procedure and squabbling silently over the controls. Who could blame the aircraft's warning systems for not prioritising the warnings appropriately when the pilot appeared to be trying to crash the plane? To think that if they had simply realised that the gear was still up on their initial approach, they might still have been able to land the thing.

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

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.

The fact that all 3 UK psychologists gave this guy a green light makes me wonder what standards they have for pilots in there, since PIA seemed to be more strict than them and still have been blacklisted internationally

Shoutout to every pilot that got me where I needed to go still alive.

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

This is absolutely amazing. The sheer number of ways the aircraft TRIED to help save itself and everyone else, is mind-boggling. This Airbus plane was an absolutely amazing piece of engineering. Also mind-boggling is the sheer number of things that had to go wrong for this to happen, from ignored warning signs from failed psych evals, to poor training and oversight by the airline, to repeated warning signs being absolutely ignored, to allowing pilots to fly in a compromised state (fasting), to allowing this psychopath to be CAPTAIN on an airplane when he shouldn't even be allowed to have a driver's license for anything more powerful than a moped! Absolutely insane!

Pk 8303 is a sad example of how this country is being run at the moment.

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.

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.

I'm from Karachi, and this crash haunted the entire country for a good while. And plus, we didn't even properly know what happened and why a plane of that size just randomly crashed over a highly populated area. No one gave any explanation whatsoever to this crash. But your video was very helpful in this regard to me. Thank you very much! Love from Pakistan! 🇵🇰
