A Boeing 737 Has Crashed

A Boeing 737 freighter operated by Pakistan's K2 Airways has vanished off the country's southernmost coast, with it believed the aircraft came crashing down into the sea. With search and rescue underway, the time this video is going live, the operation to locate those aboard the plane, the black boxes, and other key parts of the 737 involved in the accident is taking place. K2 Airways Boeing 737-400 freighter was operating what was meant to be a routine flight when it lost contact with air traffic controllers over the Arabian sea just southwest of Karachi late Tuesday local time and this obviously prompted concerns. Early reporting thanks to available flight data from the service provider of flight radar 24 shows the aircraft cruising as normal before it lost contact with controllers who were unable to re-establish communication with the jet which also failed to arrive at its intended destination. The flight operating as KTA 1732 was last seen 300 kilometers west of Karachi with a dramatic loss of altitude before the plane's disappearance, this being flagged the 737 operating to Karachi and the disappearance tracked to 421 pm UTC. Flight radar 24 data further showing that the latest signal placed the aircraft at an altitude of 1,100 feet and dropping at a vertical speed of 22,400 feet per minute. At the moment we're simply relying on data that is provided to the public through flight tracking systems naturally finding those black boxes and going through the evidence will be critical to understanding what took place and getting the actual specifics on what happened. Aboard were a crew of five who naturally all are missing following the loss of communication and the reported preliminary data showing the most obvious case being the plane down in the ocean. AP-BOI is the K2 Airways aircraft that has been involved in the incident it's a 27 year old Boeing 737 and it is the sole aircraft operated by K2 Airways the jet equipped with CFM engines it started life in 1999 with Aeroflot where it was then converted into a freighter 13 years later in 2012 for use with TNT Airways however in the period between it being a passenger plane and a freighter it went to the likes of Garuda Indonesia it then was on a lease before it ended up at TNT Airways and TNT Express it was even at ASL Airlines Belgium we then saw FedEx Express but it was also at this point still operated by ASL in 2024 it would fall under Aerocaps registration of VP-CFG and then in late 2024 it would be deployed to K2 Airways on a very lease entering into service in December of 2024 like I said this the only aircraft operated by K2 a very tragic incident and one that now needs to see a full investigation take place but before that we need to locate the crucial parts that are going to be so important to this investigation taking shape to find a cause and naturally bring closure to those that were aboard the flight and their families I appreciate you watching given the circumstances I hope you're doing well and I'll see you back here no doubt soon for hopefully some more positive news
