PAF airplane crash lands in GIKI, Trainee Ejects, Instructor dies!
In a bizarre and uneventful happening in Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute (GIKI) of Topi, Swabi, an instructor of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) dies while guiding his subject aircraft (a Karakorum 8 – K8 trainer) into a clear area and the trainee ejecting. The airplane seems to have hit a mali (gardener) on it’s way down. No student or on-campus fatalities have been reported as yet, although the gardener was seen in a critical condition. See below for updates.
Watch this space for pictures and more updates from eye-witnesses in GIKI.
Inna lilahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon!
Update I The unknown mali has lost his life according to news reports from the institute.
Update II A video by Qureshi from the crash site.
Update III The aircraft convincing looks like a T-37. Any takers on this matter?
I was speaking out of my ass and was acting a little bitchy, thats why the administrator of the website deleted my unintelligible dumb ass comment.

This crash took place just adjacent to our faculties where we were having our classes. It is definitely a very sad incident and we, the students have been deeply affected by the tragedy, especially as it took within our campus and we could personally see the damage, both to the airplane and the pilot himself.
We all pray for the souls of the two dead. May God give them shahadat and bless them a good place in heavens. May He also bless their brave families who are in deep shock at the moment.

i am pained at my very heart on this accident..
the greatest sacrifice from our gallant soldier will never go waste.
Allah k sipaahi neer die, they get eternal peace and remain alive for ever. their souls participate in all combats to come.
May Almighty shower His blessings to the departed soul.
