I can't believe the disgusting comments here. No matter how much you may despise someone how can you wish death him. Things like this make me embarrassed to call myself a Pakistani.
The wheels needed re-alignment.
What a shame the plane made it to the ground safely.
God still has more sufferings for Pakistanis?
Mya be they found a basketfull of mangoes?
Maybe it was disbalanced because of all the looted money in it.
It could have hit a drone
(nothing to do with any potential crash or whatever) ... I just don't think this guy is FIT to represent Pakistan.
Luckely our prime minister and the passengers and crew is safe. No matter what people of pak or indian trolls says our minister can only be removed by the ballot. He did a good job in China representing Pak. Sick and low life characters wish the plane crashed. Pak zindabad
@Shinthispit: And the pilot, the stewards, the security personnel, other gov and military officials on the plane are acceptable losses?
@Nadir: Why yes, we are! When your country is run by representatives who turn a blind eye to the needs of the people after the election, no matter how loudly they shout then we not only wish for plane crashes, we pray for them. A plane crash has served us well before, hasn't it?
Stay classy people, wishing for plane crashes now?
How do we know whether this was an "emergency" or a precautionary landing?
May be now he will look into the sorry state of PIA. otherwise his sons are looting the country with both hands
nah, technical fault, really? ....maybe the army was trying to remind him they also control airspace over Pakistan.....
Pakistani people are not so lucky.
The plane safely landed :(
