A Pakistan International Airlines A320 crashed near the Karachi airport after attempting multiple landings and suffering a mechanical issue, according to reports. The Associated Press report says the Airbus had an “apparent engine failure during landing,” a presumption bolstered by video on social media supposedly showing the A320 flying low with flames coming out of one engine. Radio transmissions from the pilot confirm a mayday call and the loss of one engine, as well as an indication of trouble with the landing gear.
