Not a word about the airplane crash in Karachi? Almost 100 people killed.

 
At the end of the flight, down to reserve fuel, landing gear issues causing delay, lost power on both engines. Unless it was a massive bird strike, looks like he ran out of fuel. Black boxes have been recovered so the cause should be discovered shortly.

The airline’s chief executive, Arshad Malik, said on Friday the last message received from the pilot indicated there was a technical problem.

Another senior civil aviation official told Reuters it appeared the plane had been unable to lower its landing gear for the first approach.

Seconds before the crash, the pilot told air traffic controllers he had lost power from both engines, according to a recording posted on liveatc.net, a respected aviation monitoring website.
