1947 Korangi Creek crash
The Korangi Creek crash took place when an Air India flight from Karachi to Bombay crashed shortly after takeoff. All 19 passengers and 4 crew members were killed. Poor visibility and malfunctioning instruments in the cockpit led the pilots to lose control. The Douglas DC-3 aircraft was damaged beyond repair. This was the first airline fatality in Pakistan after its independence in 1947.
