Pakistani plane carrying 98 crashes minute before landing

A passenger plane of Pakistani International Airlines (PIA) crashed on Friday near Karachi airport, a minute before it was scheduled to land at Jinnah International Airport. The plane, carrying reportedly 98 people (91 passengers and seven crew members), crashed into a residential colony in Model Town. The Civil Aviation Authority confirmed PIA flight PK-8303, which started the journey from Lahore, crashed. Here's more.

Though the exact reason for the crash wasn't confirmed, some reports said the jet's landing gear developed a snag.
