What happened to the Sharjah-Karachi flight?
The Boeing 737-400 freighter was en route from Sharjah to Karachi on Tuesday night when the crew reported a navigational system issue.
According to the Pakistan Airports Authority, at 9.21pm Pakistan time the aircraft was observed on radar making a rapid descent accompanied by a sharp change in heading. The last transmitted data point placed the aircraft at 1,100 feet above sea level, with a vertical rate of minus 22,400 feet per minute — about 400 kilometres per hour — an extremely steep and abnormal rate of descent.
Flightradar24 tracking data showed chaotic final minutes as the plane plunged about 5,000 feet in less than a minute, surged back some 6,000 feet in just 30 seconds, before a catastrophic dive from 36,550 feet. Contact with the aircraft was lost about 155 nautical miles west of Karachi.
