I was off twitter for most of yesterday so missed the real-time twists and turns of the Real Housewives of Bahria. The interest in this lurid story is understandable, the outrage against the media less so. I’ll explain why. #UzmaKhan 1/7
Tabloid fodder:
An extra-marital affair, leaked videos, an outraged wife w guards, breaking & entering, assault, threats of rape, a model/actor, a well-connected property tycoon and his incestuous family, elite privilege, a missing husband, celebrity lawyers, a delayed FIR. 2/7

Alternative media platform The Current has done the best summary so far. Also goes to show how the mainstream media falls behind alt media in covering social media driven stories such as this. 3/7

Airbus is sending a team of technical advisors to Karachi as part of the investigation into #PK8303. flightradar24.com/AIB1888/249078… 
The Airbus A330neo is returning from Karachi to Paris Le Bourget Airport. As Le Bourget is the base of @BEA_Aero we assume the black boxes of flight #PK8303 are on board.

We have received information that flight is NOT carrying the black boxes of flight #PK8303
THREAD: After looking at data & photos I have come to a conclusion that the #PK8303 crash has a lot do with its landing gear & pilot.
Did the pilot touch down on 1st attempt?
To get the answer we need to look at this data of flight altitude which has some clues.

In the above chart we can see the plane going to the bottom & then going up & then going down later.
The plane in my view landed on the runway but without landing gears. And then went up & the evidence for this is on the engines bottoms. Both charred & have marks of runway.

In this photo you can see rough surface of engine's bottom due to limited contact with runway. Engines were damaged & instead of just killing the power & just belly land, pilot gave it more power.
This photo shows pilot also used fire retardant to put fire out in engines.

Hello I'm awake and here to look over the #PIACrash. So far I'm building an idea in my head as to what happened. I will be doing a thread here.

1. The engines
The engines look pretty black on the bottoms online. Diagrams of the CFM56 used by the A320 show that the accessory gearbox is mounted there. There may have been a failure there. See the photos below to see what's inside one.

As you can see there are many things inside. One small failure can lead to a big domino effect of them. So, many things could have led to the black we see on the photo.
Flight 8303 — an Airbus A320 with at least 99 people on board — has crashed right next to Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan. Geolocation: google.com/maps/place/Mod…. Updates via @salmanmasood: nytimes.com/2020/05/22/wor….
Flight #PK8303 was supposed to be a happy sign that Pakistan was moving past corona and inching towards normalcy, with families set to reunite after two months in lockdown to spend Eid al-Fitr together, as @zalmayzia, @salmanmasood and @Abihabib describe. nytimes.com/2020/05/22/wor…
But #PK8303 aborted its initial approach to the airport due to technical problems and performed a go around. A local spotter photographed the plane as it prepared for another landing. Undersides of both engines appear burnt and ram air turbine is deployed.
This is aftermath of the accident for Airbus A320-214 of #Pakistan International Airlines (#PIA) with AP-BLD resgister in #Karachi today. It crashed in approach in residential area located near Jinnah International Airport resulting death of its 99 passengers & 8 flight crew.
