The crash killing 91 occurs at a time when the hospitals are already overburdened due to Covid-19
KARACHI: Gloom has engulfed the whole country after the crash of a PIA passenger plane that had 91 people on board, including the crew members. Having developed some technical fault, the plane that was coming from Lahore fell on a residential colony in the vicinity of the Karachi airport just moments before it was to land at the Jinnah terminal. The crash raises so many valid questions like the fitness of PIA aircraft, population near the airport, etc. The crash has occurred at a time when the hospitals are already overburdened due to the coronavirus pandemic.
