In the unfortunate incident, all 47 people on board died, including singer-turned-preacher televangelist Junaid Jamshed and the Deputy Commissioner of the District of Chitral. An initial report into the accident by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) said that the aircraft’s left engine malfunctioned at an altitude of 13,375 feet (4,077 m).
The pilot reported the engine failure at 16:12, which was followed by a rapid uncontrolled descent and the disappearance of the aircraft from ground radar a few minutes later. A one-page preliminary report of the Safety Investigation Board found a ‘lapse’ on the part of the PIA and a ‘lack of oversight’ by the PCAA.
Where is that report?
