London: December 9, 2016. (PCP) A pilot made a mayday call, saying he had lost control of one of the two engines, PIA Chairman Azam Saigol said "We were confident that the plane could land with one working engine," Saigol said. "This is a tragedy. We are not absolving ourselves of any connection to this incident." Saigol said it's "highly unlikely that this was a terrorist attack." He added that the bodies of the victims would be transferred to hospitals in Islamabad at 12:30 p.m. local time. 500,000 rupees ($5,000) cash will be given to the next of kin of the 47 victims to meet funeral expenses, according to a statement released by PIA Thursday. The airline clarified that all 42 passengers and 5 crew members were killed instantly as the plane erupted in flames on landing, after the plane lost communication wit a control tower on it's way from Chitral to Islamabad. The plane crashed high in the mountains of Abbotabad and Havelian killing a famous former pop star who became a religious cleric named Junaid Jamshed. Jamshed soared to fame in the 1980s with Vital Signs, one of the most iconic pop bands in Pakistan. After a successful career as a solo singer in the 1990s, Jamshed gave up pop stardom to focus on religious music, or nasheeds. Two infants were among the passengers, according to a passenger manifest published by Pakistan International Airlines. Meanwhile Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority have retrieved 46 of the 47 bodies of those killed in the crash. Evidence of an engine fault in the left engine of the plane has emerged and families who have lost loved ones are seeking a government enquiry into the deaths of those they have lost. One of the victims was Khawar Sohail a Young Christian man of 28 years who worked a Regional Manager at International Khurdish Artist Network (IKAN) within their engineering service. His father a retired army officer Mr Kadim Masih had five children of which Khawar was the fourth child. Mr Sohail's family lived in Green Town, Lahore and had been the family's main bread-winner for a good number of years. Mr Sohail attended Grace Assemblies of God Church in Lahore who have saying prayers for him and his family since news broke out about his death. He was a very active member of his church and helped with organising Christmas and Easter functions and it was hoped that he would marry quite soon. The family of Mr Sohail have been informed that Mr Sohail's body will be identified within 4-5 days. Our BPCA officer Naveed has visited the family with a bouquet of flowers today. He has shared condolences with the family and is hoping to provide help and assistance where he can during their moment of grief and loss. Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, said: "Nothing can console people of the pain that death causes except the knowledge of a place in heaven. When lives are taken under such sudden circumstances through no fault of the victims it is a devastating blow to one's morale. We call on people to pray for succour for those who have lost family members and in particular to lift up the family of Khawar Sohail who will now have to start a new journey in life without their main bread-winner."
